I LOVE THE SOUNDS OF THE DETROITS REMEMBERING WORKING ON 8V-71 WITH JAKE BRAKES THERE IS NO SOUND ANY GREATER AND I CAN GET HIGH SMELLING THE RAW EXHAUST THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.
Me too, I absolutely love the sound of engines, & I've loved my life spent among them as a mechanic & builder, earthmoving, marine, Aust roadtrain operator, motorcyclist & owner of hundreds of them. American, British, German, Italian, & I remember my unique experiences with all of them. Thanks for the vid.
Took shop mechanics in High School. 3 hours a day every afternoon my senior year. That was 1973, now I am 67 and thinking about buying a small briggs and stratton mower tomorrow... Bought a new house with a 3/4 acre yard, grass getting away!!! Never regretted Mechanics shop, never dreaded coming to class and we got to take things apart put them together and lots of humor about little things that did not quite make sense. Once you know the deal, all engines, especially 4 cyles, follow a logical conclusion. However with modern engines and the computers, more like running a background check and then replacing electronic components. In those days a feeler gage a certain kind of twist with the wrench and listen for the best sound heard from the engine to include, exhaust, valves, and rocker arms. Big engines designed to be tinkered with and to be maintained. Never let you down, and amaze you with their sticktoittiveness!!!
Couple engine comments. Back in the mid 1960's when I was a teenager I visited my Aunt in Smackover Arkansas. She took me to an oil field outside of town and showed me the layout where a huge hit and miss engine was running and pushing and pulling rods that fanned out from it to a number of oil well rocking beam pumps. All of them run by this one engine. She told me how as kids, they would come out here and 'walk the rods, balancing and walking on the steel rods that first went one way and then came back. She then demonstrated by getting on one of the moving rods and walking like a stroll in the park. She was 84 years old at that time. I went back around 1988 for my uncles funeral with my family and we looked at that oil field, it was all gone, had been reclaimed and had trees and foliage on a place that used to nothing but many acres of oil soaked land. In my work, I had two of those Detroit diesels back to back turning a 150KW generator. On a routine start and run up for maintenance, both diesels ran away and and the overspeed failed to shut them down, the generator fan came apart and blasted out of its housing peppering the walls of the engine room with shrapnel. Quite the event to be in there when that happened, and boy did those engines scream. Luckily nobody was injured. Neither diesel was damaged, a new housing and fan installed and back in business, after replacing the bad overspeed control.
Love those jerker-line oil fields! Was the system you saw powered by an engine in a powerhouse, turning a bull wheel outside, with an eccentric cam lobe on the bwheel that the jerkerlines tied into?
I have been an engineer all my life and to me these machines are MUSIC - I can actually FALL ASLEEP next to one it is amazing! Especially the big Fairbanks Morse engines!
I always looked forward to getting the command from control to "prepare to snorkel". Loved cranking the ships Fairbanks-Moorse 38 8-1/8 over with air and hearing her catch and fire! The heat, smell, noise, and vibration was very relaxing to this submariner!
Truly unique and attractive! 🚂🔊 Hearing the sound of old engines starting up really makes me relive old memories and feel the power of earlier technology. The roaring sounds and powerful operation of these giant engines are truly impressive
5:19 the bar in the flywheel was not to inflate the cylinders with air. This was to get the engine barred over into starting position, at which time the cylinder valves would be open so there would be zero compression allowing the task to be completed.. The air for starting came from an air compressor and tank that was precharged prior to starting.
Wrong... If the "valves were open" when the starting air was introduced, the air would go RIGHT OUT the ports, NOT move the piston at ALL, and the engine would do NOTHING. They are barring the engine over to get it in the right position so that any ports or "valves" are closed, and the piston is at the top dead center of the cylinder so that the air that they introduce to start it is trapped and will act upon the piston, pushing it down, and getting the engine to rotate.
@@davelowets well you’re still wrong. They’re an internally ported two stroke with an external decompression valve that is opened for barring over and as the gent in the linked video says and I have witnessed it doesn’t always get closed prior to start up. ua-cam.com/video/xaSMZN7lJPg/v-deo.html
@@davelowets I know this is true with petrol 2 stroke engines.... but can a Diesel 2 stroke also run the other way???.... I am now thinking of the injectionpump (will it inject fuel when running in reverse?) and of the oilpump (will it feed oil to the crankshaft when turned the other way?) also I doubt if there is a practical use for having the engine turning the other way... We once owned a sailing boat equiped with a Dauphin 2 stroke petrol engine,a 2 cilinder with a Dynastart.... for reversing/slowing down you’ld stop the engine and start it running backwards!! Please tell me if you know of 2 stroke Diesel engines that are to be used running in both directions! Kind regards,Henk Tulp.
Those are some real gems! Ive got a 1948 international harvester (5hp) i fire up every so often just to hear it purr. I've even recorded it for my ringtone, lol. 👍😉
In my opinion, the first one sounded the best and the others just sounded like the tractors and combines that i go to listen during the summers in the country.
I love to positivity of this video. My dad loved engine sounds and I attended many antique engine shows in my life. From a maytag washing machine engine to gigantic single cylinder engines I remember the pulsing and rumbling of those old machines. Lots of familiar sounds here. My dad also liked tractor pulls not for the pulling of the sleds but for the wide open throttles of those giant engines straining down the track.
Great engine video. Keep all the stats comments plus your first loving the sound and delete all the rest. We don't need know every time how much you love them - we love them too.
Awesome my father had garage when I was growing up, knew loads of people who raced cars and boat my last job was building race cars ,my grandson loves sound of loud powerful engine's
I liked the sound of my dad’s old Massey Ferguson tractor, made sometime in the late 1970’s - and then driving it when I could finally push in the clutch! I had to use by entire kid body to manipulate it.
When I was a young child I the 1960s our family would visit my widowed grandmother. On her rural property was a joinery and woodworking shop my grandfather had built. Every machine in the shop was belt driven off a single wooden shaft that ran the entire length of the building. Outside was a large belt driven flywheel but the driving engine had been taken away. As kids we would wind up the flywheel by hand and take turns using the machines inside. Looking back we were lucky not to have lost a finger or two.
Hi! I too share your passion for all ICE’s! As an ex marine engineer I worked with Paxman Valenta and Ventura V16s. We used to say “ ….if it isn’t leaking oil, it hasn’t got any oil”. My favourite is without doubt the Lister engine so sweet and so reliable. A good friend of mine had a small yacht with a Lister auxiliary single cylinder engine (his iron topsail!) and the starting routine was almost religious! PS:- only kidding but you nearly ran out of superlatives after that ethereal Fairbanks motor!!!!!! Subscribed, cheers!
The Fairbanks Morse Model 32D engines in your video appear to be four cylinder, not six. The Air Start operation was performed by the operator using a bar in the flywheel holes to turn one cylinder to just past Top Dead Centre. Compressed air was then released into that cylinder, pushing the piston down to start turning the engine. The other cylinders then fired in sequence by compression ignition. The bar was not used to "inflate the cylinders with air".
Awesome video 👍👍👍. Never ever get tired of hearing a 2 stroke Detroit. I worked on 2 strike Detroits and Deutz air cooled V engines used in underground mining equipment. Those Deutz’s are good engines but the parts are spendy . Also the Caterpillar D399 engines are a hard pushing SOB. I worked on a lot of them in tow boats on the Columbia River System. Nothing like hitting the Air Start on a V-12 D399 and hearing that engine roll over, it was like a 12 inch diameter steel shaft on bear steel, it was kinda nuts, but they fired right up. The fuel injection system was not to great compared to today’s engines and they pull out a lot of black smoke like all diesel engines did. Nothing like standing on the deck of a towboat at 7 am a fall morning on the river crisp clean air , the smell of beacon frying on the stove in the boat’s galley and your out on the rear deck with a cup of hot coffee and they light off those D399 with the black diesel smell smoke mixed in with it all, doesn’t get any better then thst,👍👍👍👍.
Thank you for putting this together. The Detroit Diesels sound like American industrial power to me. I also love the Rolls Royce power plants. That story is the true story of innovation and excellence. All of these engines are fascinating to me, to single out just two isn't fair to the rest, but my time, is limited unfortunately, Thanks again!;)
I was waiting for the Commer TS3 knocker engine. A two stroke, three cylinder diesel with six horizontally opposed pistons, with a blower. When I was a kid these engines always made a different sound to anything else but I never knew why. I know it's a matter of personal preference, but for me it's a toss up between the sound of a RR Merlin or TS3 as number one. Thanks for uploading all those great sounds.
Before I got married I use to commercial fish with my future wife's family and her uncle had a 671 Detroit in his 41 ft boat. We called the engine Georgia milk cow? Anyway I would lay in the bunk at night while running wide open around the Keys and it would sing me to sleep I loved the sound of that engine.
That's Fairbanks Morse is like an industrial accordion!! Just beautiful.I was on Submarines during my military years a fast attack boat and we had a Fairbanks Morse diesel engine aboard for emergency ventilation amongst other things but no sweeter sound that a Fairbanks Morse purring a long.. Thank you I really enjoyed this.
I'm convinced that it's these engines and others like them that influenced the development of music in late 1800s including Jazz. They revolutionize the concept of beat.
What a amazing walk down machine history. I can see how it all started with Rudolf Diesel original concepts to those fun sounding morse engines to today. Here they all live for us to revisit, thanks😎😎
I own a 1992 BMW 750il with a V12. It's not really that old, it turned 31 this year of course and its not too big as far as V12s go,, but it still sounds beautiful when it starts up. I love these big engines.
The Detroit at 1:27 is the same backup generator at 1600 Osgood St. North Reading Mass. That is a large factory building. Now used by a truck school & other business.
A farmer friend asked me if I could try to get an air cooled V12 Deutz Diesel engine running for him, the engine powered a mobile crane that had sat in one of his fields in all weathers untouched for over a decade, I checked the oil level and worked the fuel lift pump until I felt fuel pressure, then with a new battery on it, I gave it a crank on the starter to see what would happen and incredibly the engine started straight up and ran perfectly with almost no smoke! I formed a strong impression right there that these V12 Deutz Diesel engines were very well designed and made..
I love the musical Fairbanks monster. I can see why some people enjoy seeing the thing rotate a spindle, though few people gather to watch a person raise a bucket from a well by a similar process. I’m more interested in the psychology as to what attracts the human being to stand and watch a machine performing a revolution.
'Like a musical instrument and I get chills every time I hear it'? You lead a very full life.
I LOVE THE SOUNDS OF THE DETROITS REMEMBERING WORKING ON 8V-71 WITH JAKE BRAKES THERE IS NO SOUND ANY GREATER AND I CAN GET HIGH SMELLING THE RAW EXHAUST THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.
Bro imagine if this guy heard a lawn mower running ‘it’s just so beautiful I can’t get enough of it’
Seems like most/all of the text in this video has been written by AI.
He needs to get out more!...
y
My favorites are the Rolls Royce aircraft engines….that sound gives me goosebumps 😂😂
Me too, I absolutely love the sound of engines, & I've loved my life spent among them as a mechanic & builder, earthmoving, marine, Aust roadtrain operator, motorcyclist & owner of hundreds of them. American, British, German, Italian, & I remember my unique experiences with all of them.
Thanks for the vid.
Sure, sure.... How many different jobs have you had? 😕
Certainly beautiful works of art!
Gotta love that chug chug hiss hiss😁
Love the passion but I gotta say, the comments about the sounds are getting a bit awkward my dude.
Hard disagree.

Took shop mechanics in High School. 3 hours a day every afternoon my senior year. That was 1973, now I am 67 and thinking about buying a small briggs and stratton mower tomorrow... Bought a new house with a 3/4 acre yard, grass getting away!!! Never regretted Mechanics shop, never dreaded coming to class and we got to take things apart put them together and lots of humor about little things that did not quite make sense. Once you know the deal, all engines, especially 4 cyles, follow a logical conclusion.

In those days a feeler gage a certain kind of twist with the wrench and listen for the best sound heard from the engine to include, exhaust, valves, and rocker arms.

Most of those big bad boys should be put in museums for future generations

Love those jerker-line oil fields! Was the system you saw powered by an engine in a powerhouse, turning a bull wheel outside, with an eccentric cam lobe on the bwheel that the jerkerlines tied into?
I remember a similar system in 1957 in Borneo at the Miri oilfield in Sarawak.
That's the beauty of Americana!;) Thanks for sharing that with us.
Great video, those rolls royce engines sure do purr but the sounds from the 2 stroke Detroit's make you stand up and salute!!

crew ship hum, same issue.
That1936 Fairbanks-Morse engine looks like it has four cylinders, not six.
Seems like quite a bit of information missed the mark. Cool lil vid tho
@@Cj-yw8cs Oh yes--worth the view.
those look more like exhausts than cylinders
@@ViaaIlluminate One exhaust per cylinder--plus, below them on the side, you see four processes evenly spaced along the block.
They have one that they regularly run in Jerome az you can for get up close and personal with it
Those captions are so amazing i can't help but be excited about the words it says!!!

And certainly the piston must be just after TDC!

I LOVE the sound of steam engines, gonna edge to this video. Thanks!
BEAUTIFUL SOUND OF ALL THESE P;D ENGINES THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE VERY OLD THEY STILL WORK LIKE A SWISS WATCH.
WOW amazing! Every motor was amazing, looked amazing, sounded amazing, according to the amazing chap, who presented this amazing item. Amazing! 😎
Thanks for providing pleasure to my ears🤩
My pleasure 😊
Mechanical Marvels He is Very Creative
Those are some real gems! Ive got a 1948 international harvester (5hp) i fire up every so often just to hear it purr. I've even recorded it for my ringtone, lol. 👍😉
Man, the ole 8v-71 Detroit Diesel. It is music to my ears
I agree. Detroit is the most reliable engine brand still in existence. :)
Nice engines, like the basic info given on screen however, please drop the personal comments about them.
In my opinion, the first one sounded the best and the others just sounded like the tractors and combines that i go to listen during the summers in the country.
I love sounds of machine in old buses
I love the amazement of what man built some 100 years ago and you know some of these were first time builds and prototypes…..incredible 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Awesome video, much appreciated
My pleasure!

Great engine video. Keep all the stats comments plus your first loving the sound and delete all the rest. We don't need know every time how much you love them - we love them too.
I love that at 4:11 the Fairbanks Morse casually blows smoke rings, then full bore spits smoke rings!
Why did I like this so much? It must just take me back to my roots or something I guess.
You overlooked the all-time best sounding engine: The EMD 16-645E3. 45 degree, 2-stroke, V-16 locomotive prime mover.
The one at 10 min was bananas.
And a blown 540 in a car? That’s basically a monster truck motor. Sounds sick.
Cool video. I like the mix of vintage and modern engines. some radial engines would have been a good addition.
Awesome my father had garage when I was growing up, knew loads of people who raced cars and boat my last job was building race cars ,my grandson loves sound of loud powerful engine's
Very cool stuff

I may have to play this video every day!
It's got a good beat and it's easy to dance to.
Smack that la la the Morse engines love em.
Something cool about engine sounds…..
Enjoy them while we’re allowed to…..
I love Sunday's

IT’s appreciated your love for these old engines. But you don’t need to caption each one
was in the UK on a train platform when a Napier Deltic powered train went past, i still remember that awesome sound
A great collection of engines
Thanks for putting this video together 👍👍

399 is v16.... 398 is v12..
These antique engines are the engines we will have fight over when zombie apocalypse happens.
Totally awesome
Very cool

Glad you enjoyed it
100 years from now, all gasoline engines will be in museums.
My ears are ringing after watching this video 😂
If you like the Fairbanks Morse, then maybe techno-music is something to consider😂
I was waiting for the Commer TS3 knocker engine. A two stroke, three cylinder diesel with six horizontally opposed pistons, with a blower. When I was a kid these engines always made a different sound to anything else but I never knew why. I know it's a matter of personal preference, but for me it's a toss up between the sound of a RR Merlin or TS3 as number one. Thanks for uploading all those great sounds.
Very cool video. I'm surprised that some of those operators are still alive with all the fumes.
Before I got married I use to commercial fish with my future wife's family and her uncle had a 671 Detroit in his 41 ft boat. We called the engine Georgia milk cow? Anyway I would lay in the bunk at night while running wide open around the Keys and it would sing me to sleep I loved the sound of that engine.
1936 faibanks sounds like the best techno
i can't believe that guy starting that lister engine with his face right in the exhaust smoke and does not move,
Maybe he loves the taste of diesel in the morning…😂
when i was in Ms I met a old guy who had many hit and miss engines from giant to small and they all ran pretty cool
Super sound
wow, would never have spotted the massively obvious engine on the thumbnail if it had not been for that big red arrow .... thank you so much !!!
That's Fairbanks Morse is like an industrial accordion!! Just beautiful.I was on Submarines during my military years a fast attack boat and we had a Fairbanks Morse diesel engine aboard for emergency ventilation amongst other things but no sweeter sound that a Fairbanks Morse purring a long.. Thank you I really enjoyed this.
I'm convinced that it's these engines and others like them that influenced the development of music in late 1800s including Jazz. They revolutionize the concept of beat.
That Detroit 12V71 sounds awesome. I'd love to hear it under load
We had a 16V71 in a short reach Michigan F E loader fitted with tines that was used to carry 25 ton logs at the sawmill.
Did I see G. Thornburg in tbe audience enjoying the lovely sounds?
What a amazing walk down machine history. I can see how it all started with Rudolf Diesel original concepts to those fun sounding morse engines to today. Here they all live for us to revisit, thanks😎😎
4:46 read the undertitle and find the Mistake. But the sound of the machines are really nice.
04:10 a 6 cylinder 1934 fairbanks morse engine with 4 exhaust ports and 4 cylinders! frikken genius!
Blow my mind bit over the top that statement
That 1936 Fairbanks Morse sounds like something Willy Wonka would have in his factory, I love it.
I own a 1992 BMW 750il with a V12. It's not really that old, it turned 31 this year of course and its not too big as far as V12s go,, but it still sounds beautiful when it starts up. I love these big engines.
Indeed,my mind is blowing.........
The fairbanks morse engine was not built in 1832.
Nothing will ever replace internal combustion engines. Nothing. They are living things and you can't convince me otherwise.
👍😎 Many years ago, I recall a tractor pull competition with one that had 2 Alison V12’s that sounded bad ass.
Detroit diesels.....great engines....great at converting money into noise.
Very cool… but would have liked more information on the purpose, history and use of these engines
The time for these machines is over. And thats a good thing
The Foden at 10:30 shows the exhaust manifold crack in the middle pipe. Neat.
I share your love of the low revving ones in particular , the torque must be colossal
The Detroit at 1:27 is the same backup generator at 1600 Osgood St. North Reading Mass. That is a large factory building. Now used by a truck school & other business.
오 ~~~ 옛날 발동기 굿~~~
A great big YES on the Detroit Diesel: they are music. But these are all pretty awesome.
A farmer friend asked me if I could try to get an air cooled V12 Deutz Diesel engine running for him, the engine powered a mobile crane that had sat in one of his fields in all weathers untouched for over a decade, I checked the oil level and worked the fuel lift pump until I felt fuel pressure, then with a new battery on it, I gave it a crank on the starter to see what would happen and incredibly the engine started straight up and ran perfectly with almost no smoke! I formed a strong impression right there that these V12 Deutz Diesel engines were very well designed and made..
You make it sound like you want to sleep with those engines
Yeah, I think he’s on drugs or something. I don’t think many people read the narrative that was displayed. 😂😂😂 Very odd.
I love the musical Fairbanks monster. I can see why some people enjoy seeing the thing rotate a spindle, though few people gather to watch a person raise a bucket from a well by a similar process. I’m more interested in the psychology as to what attracts the human being to stand and watch a machine performing a revolution.
That kenworth V12 was nasty
Video meraviglioso… guardato tutto d’un fiato… grazie
A 1936 Fairbanks Morse built in 1832 as a 6 cylinder engine with 4 exhaust outlets.....that really makes sense here..
No, it was a 4 cylinder 32D making 300hp. They did make a 6 cylinder monster too.
Were the UK FODEN 2-Stroke Diesels actually Detroit ?
