That's a pretty neat motor. I just sent it to a friend of mine who is a diesel freak.

Buddy of mine had a big fishing charter boat with 2 Detroit 24 cyl  turbocharged engines that ran flawess. When he sold it the hours to mileage was over a million miles. I did some minor work on it like filters and salt damaged wiring.

they will not die ed.. they'll leak oil all over the place but will not die.  there was a old story that a sub with a old detroit sank. they went years after to get it and it was still running. again.. its a old story but i dont know how true it is.

Yeah, I wonder how much parasitic loss those impose.  I'd bet it could be turbo'd with better results.
