Yes there's a difference in rods, cam, pistons and block. The pistons are 18.7:1 ratios on the T engine and 21:1 on the N engines. Con rod piston pins are larger in diameter on the T engines, 1.5" compared to 1.375" on the N. Block on the T engines are built stronger and the rear is closed off in the airbox section. You can build a T engine with an N block by changing rods and using the N cam. Blower is also 15% larger on the N engine, which also can be used on the T. I think you can still buy 1.375" wrist pin T pistons, but I've never looked into it. I converted an 3-53N to a 3-53T and it runs very nice, just changed the rods and pistons, kept everything else.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 thank you for the information. Is there a difference in blocks from the 4-53T to the silver series4-53T?

@@kalebhanson9808 Not that I can tell, but will have a look. I have a green and silver block side by side so I'll have a peek.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 ok thank you very much!!! , Are the heads any different from all the 4 valve heads I know they made aluminum versions at one time but besides that are the heads the same from the NA to the T and the silver ?

@@kalebhanson9808 The N and T heads are the same with the T heads having T valves. Most of the new valves are all T valves now. The Silver head differs as it's cast with dog bone cavities in it. This prevents cracking that plagued the N and T heads. I'm picking up another Silver 4-53T this weekend and with any luck the owner finds the head. I'll be making a video on the differences between N, T and Silver versions of the 4-53 series.:)

Thanks, just a little puff at startup, but no visible smoke after.:) I tuned it for California spec, so smoke free.:)

Very true.:)

Sure confuses the Powerstroke guys.:)

You're welcome.:) Thanks for watching.:)

For my converted M30's I've used .032" orifices and that works well. If I'm not mistaken Frantz used .050". I can't remember what size the M100's are, but very similar to Frantz, 040"-050".

@@detroitgarage9430 Thanks for the information! Learned this afternoon I could chuck up the pin vise in my Milwaukee drill with that .032 bit and carefully drill the hole. Much quicker and easier on the fingers that way.

@@jpop2499 Nice.:)

No, it's a 1997 Yamaha R1Z250.:) Was built until 1999 and then discontinued, last smoke for Yamaha.:)

Yeah, it's loud.:) I have a nice intake silencer for it, just have to fab the piping.:) Noise level is around 110 dbs over the blower at 2000 rpm. Double hearing protection is a must.:)

I guess I can't spell lol

Yeah, coming up on 50 hrs since I swapped in the Detroit.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 that is a good swap I know where there is a clark fork lift with a 3/53 in it the motor is really tired have had my eye on it for a bit now I think it's a 15000 lb

Thanks, sure is running nice.:)

Sure, emerald310@gmail.com. I'd use a penetrating oil on the stuck valve, remove the exhaust manifold as well and spray from the bottom up. I like to move the rocker arms away from the valves and tap the valve with a soft hammer. Can rotate the engine slowly with a bar to push the valve back up. A few times like that and it should free up.

Very true, this is by far the loudest Detroit I've ever run.:) My Silver 4-53T is half the noise.:)

The DD13/15/16 are basically rebadged Mercedes-Benz OM471/472/473 engines, respectively. Maybe a few differences here and there, but for the most part, that's exactly what they are, so yeah...not real Detroits. I'd take a Series 60 over any of them, but one of the 2-stroke OG's over the Series 60.

@@Roddy_Zeh The 60 series was legendary.:) I also have a 6V71 that's patently waiting for a swap.:) Rebuilt by Cullens in 1995 and never run.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 Though we never had 'em here in Brazil, the 60 Series was my go-to when driving in American Truck Simulator. I know it's just a game, but hey...sometines it's the only way to be a little closer to our childhood heroes, hahah! 😅 A Freighliner FLB with a 550-hp DD60 was my truck of choice for many years. 😁

No, but I do have a 6V71T that I plan swapping after the Diamond T build.:)

Thanks, sure is a hoot.:)

Awesome, I did hone one to see what kind of wear there was.:) Lots of wear, but could probably be used again.:)

Thanks, if it's been doing this for a long time then it could be, but if it just started doing this it's something else. Any idea how many miles or hours on it?

Don't know the miles. It had been overheated before me. I did a repair rather than a rebuild. Two good used heads and one new liner and piston. New o-rings, rings and rod bearings. It was running and starting great for two months. I know this is not your standard of work. However, it doesn't leak, slobber, or smoke. Maybe it isn't a Detroit 😂. Any ideas greatly appreciated l.

@@sgadd4 I'd look at the fuel pressure, and air cleaner to start with and work up from there. If it has good compression, air and fuel it should fire right up.:) Both my Detroit fire at the touch of the starter. Only time they don't is when the temps fall below 30 degrees.:)

It all depends on the it's condition. If well maintained, they should go 500,000 miles or so.:) There's so few details now, but from the old timers they used to roll new bearings in every 250,000-300,000 and rebuild every 500,000 miles.

@@detroitgarage9430 not bad at all! Im picking up one from an airplane tug it comes with an allison it has 2000 hrs i was the one trying to put a 4-71 detroit in my squarebody its too long thats it haha i have no clearance for belts

The shims are reused from the original engine and the gaskets are from an overhaul gasket set. I haven't tried buying the individual gaskets, but get them in the gasket kit. The shims are replaced with gaskets in the new kits. Try PCIndustries and Leid Diesel Services, they will have the gaskets.:)

I've never heard that one before, I run a 4-53T daily and a 2-53 in my forklift. I rev them cold all the time and no issues to speak of.:) My little 2-53 is run on the governor all the time cold.:)

When the Detroit Diesel was in development in the 1930’s one of the US military requirements was the capability to go to full load cold. BS about the “top of the piston coming off”. It’s not a dirt bike or outboard ffs.

I'm in Kelowna, BC.:)

For now it's going to be a base for a coffee table. I already have two 4-53T blocks hot tanked and ready for a rebuild. One of them is a Silver Series which is next in line for a rebuild. Repower for the Diamond T truck.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 Then yes, a coffee table base it is then :)

Yes, that's a standard feature on all Detroits.

Thanks, the Detroit loves veg oil, runs the same as diesel.:) Here's a playlist if you haven't already looked at it.:) ua-cam.com/video/sY0zKFeqpsQ/v-deo.html

@@detroitgarage9430 I would have to study that lots before I tried it

I swapped it before I started this channel, but I have lots of videos on the swap. Here's a playlist.:) ua-cam.com/play/PLsdSpc8sBphCYuxxLf4t-pwtaiS8-83mT.html

Very true.:). Yes the silver block is beside the 4-53 on the pallet with the ZF6 sitting on the Deere housing. Be using crosshead pistons, re ground silver cam.

Thanks, I'll keep the head for repair if it is ever used again.:)

True, these are steel pistons compared to the aluminum pistons used on most 4-strokes. Detroit later replaced this piston design with a crosshead design which uses one less compression ring. Piston is a two piece design with different ring materials for better life and less oil consumption.:)

Thanks for the sub.:) No, I've found an OM 617 to swap into the Bayliner. The OM617 spins at 4350 rpm, so very similar to the power and rpm of the Ford 2.3 that's in it now.

True, Detroits helping Detroits.:)

On the dyno it was burning 1 gallon an hr. In the forklift it is a fuel miser, I'm not sure what the consumption is but not much.:) Maybe 1/2-3/4 gallon an hr would be close.

Lol, I would love to swap a Detroit in but they're just too heavy and too large. I've found an OM617 for it, so that's a swap for the future.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 om617 is on the weak side the usual suspect for a swap is a om606 with a P pump, the people that like modern technology go for the om 613 and 648 with the commonrail. I wouldnt worry about the weight of a detroit in it, I am a bit more worried about the detroits power... I dont think she will plane with it... but only one way to find out...

@@don_prince The OM606 would be perfect, but finding one for a decent price is another thing. I already have a running 617 T, so I'll give that a go and see if I like it.

Yeah, should call this a fuel miser.:)

I'm in Kelowna, BC.:)

Thanks.:)

Yeah it runs real nice, no oil analysis yet, might take a sample in another 10-15 hrs.

Yeah Jason's Fat cab is pretty sweet. He's running two CP3 pumps from a Duramax from what I gather, very nice setup.:)

Thanks, I moved the system down near the entrance.:) Gives me room to store the dyno where the tanks used to be.:) I'll be posting an update video on Little Jimmy soon and you can see the tanks in the video.:)

Yes, there's plenty of bent metal with the added stretch.:)

They certainly are unique, great engines for sure.:)

Yes all the parts are still available if one were to rebuild it. Lots of both new and used oil coolers, heads, cranks and cams are sold through PCIndustries and others.:)

Lol, that would be something.:) I've considered throwing a 4-53 together with junk parts and see how well it runs on the dyno.:) Too many projects to complete, so for now just a pipe dream.:) Or nightmare.lol

@@detroitgarage9430 I bet it would surprise you on how well it would run as long as the compression was good. It might make you kick yourself for trying to be so perfect! LOL!!!

No, just 53 series Detroits.:)
