Ask the guy that mapped the Cat C7.1 marine prop engine anything.

What's it rev to? Any C7.1 application that'd be suited to a light/medium full size 4x4? Previously thought about a C6.6, but the only example I can think of is in a wheel loader limited to ~2400rpm.

i worked on cat 3616's.

never had a real major issues, cept the solenoid for emergency shutdown activated and didn't stop all the air going in so it all burnt hot, almost lost the engine but managed to shut it down in time. kek they leaked alot of oil but the whole ship had been abused in brazil for most of its life.

2900, but the std industrial rated engine revs to 2400.
Its heavy as FUCK, so I doubt it'd be much use in a truck. But they did put the C7 in trucks right?

You couldn't really get away with using a marine engine in an automotive application because of the way the governor is calibrated (throttle commands engine speed, not torque).

I dont remember what the error was but it was something really simple

does it use phased injection?

>>16191439
why did the cocksuckers at Caterpillar buy out GMD in London ON and shut it down, and why is our stupid faggot government too pussy to do anything about it?

>>16191439
I was on a boat where the mechanic fucked the raw water discharge, and the boat went down as the engine was pumping about one ton per minute into the bilge.

>phased injection
Is not a term I'm familiar with. But I guess your asking if it using multiple injections?

In which case the answer is yes.

It runs 2 injections at most runnable loads. This switches to a single injection as the engine power rises. The engine does run 3 injections at some points.

What are the two red ball valves in the front for?

>>16192419
They tap into the coolant system.
No idea what they're for.

>>16192434
For maintenance purposes, obviously. I'm starting to question your involvement with CAT, insofar I didn't already.

>>16192475
I just calibrate the engines pal. I'm not a service technician.
