... but in my side of the Earth you can find 2-stroke engines only in museum, and even in museum do not have 53 series .....:kick:
In my honest opinion, 2 stroke Detroit diesels are only good for turning diesel fuel into noise, also most of them leak oil so fast an oil change is seldom needed, just add oil daily. Never the less, owning a Detroit powered rat rod would be fun!
they are definatly in a class of there own but if ya build them right "MOST" of the oil stays in em'. but u cant deny that not many engines sound better than a 92 series detroit wound up tight, about "2700 rpm".
No doubt the 8v92tt and 12v92tt are among the most angry engines ever heard! Almost top fuel cool.
