Engine Quick Lists

BDC LogoKey specs are basically, the power and torque of the engine, the engine displacement, bore and stroke, the key bolt tightening torques (mains, con rods, and cylinder head), the compression ratio, a picture, if available, plus the dimensions and weight of the engine. It is a useful tool for anyone in the diesel engine business, and it is a recreation for anyone interested in engines.

Quick Engine Specs takes you to the Key Engine Specs index for CAT, Mercedes, Detroit Diesel, Cummins, ADE and EMD engines - Key Engine Specs is a Free Service of Barrington Diesel Club and does not require membership. However Quick Engine Specs have links to further specs for those who require more technical information like assembly clearances, more comprehensive torques, and workshop procedures, which, while still free, does require membership to access.

Story Strip One

Oshkosh Choose Detroit Diesel
For their fire and rescue vehicles

Oshkosh Detroit DD13 Collage

The DD13 engine has selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, with this technology Detroit Diesel has effectively achieved Zero N2O emissions. (N2O - Nitrous Oxide - is that smog producing, climate warming emission, hated worldwide.) At the same time the DD13 has reduced fuel consumption by power used - when compared to competitor's engines.

“We want to provide fire departments the option of achieving the most stringent emissions targets while maximizing engine performance and reducing fuel consumption,” said Wilson Jones, Oshkosh Corporation executive vice president and Fire & Emergency president. (quote from Oshkosh.Com's site)
