Are the Series wheels 750's? And where abouts are you?

Thanks

mark-d · Apr 15, 2014

are 8v71 blowers really worth that much, got a couple of refurb ones sitting on a scrap engine at work

Dr_evil · Apr 15, 2014

the wheels are 750 and no 8v71's in diesel form aren't but once converted to petrol form then yes they are

i see, to the scrap heap they go....

Dr_evil · Apr 15, 2014

sell them on ebay, someone might want spare rotors

Where are you?

Sorry, too far for me.

What's difference between derv and petrol doc?!

Dr_evil · Apr 15, 2014

reverse rotation

Mr Noisy · Apr 15, 2014

What because the Diesel engines they are designed for spin the opposite way?

Dr_evil · Apr 15, 2014

yeah, cant remember the exact difference but I think when they get swapped over they change the rotors to spin differently

depends if it was off a twin engine boat, they were counter rotating engines, depending if a port or starboard motor

only one would be counter-rotating.. starboard i think

no prop walk ..

On the boat subject, unless I'm out of touch with large installations, but certainly sports boats and the like, one engine is run with the gearbox in forward gear and the prop cut standard, and the other box runs in reverse with the prop cut reverse.

they 2 cycle gm diesels were counter rotated with a reverse starter.2 cycle are the easiest to counter rotate with just a starter change

sorry the port (left) engine

inward rotation is recommended on matched engines . so starboard would rotate anti-clockwise (counter) and the port engine would rotate clockwise

Thanks for info!
