We are finally back on the Michigan 55A loader that has been abandoned for over 14 years. A tree fell on this way back when and knocked off the exhaust and water got down the cylinders and seized it up. Tune in today as we rebuild the 3-53 Detroit Diesel in this and see once and for all - can we resurrect it for good? Will it Start?

  • Old retired diesel mechanic here, worked on many 71 series and later the 92 series Detroits. The school I attended back in the early `70s taught us that the reason these engines were made so that you could swap the blower side to side and turn the head around, swap the cam and blank shaft side to side was so that you could reverse the direction of rotation of the engines; very important in marine engines. A twin diesel setup in a boat or ship has one engine rotating clockwise and the other engine counter clockwise, to prevent the ship crabbing at an oblique. The props pull the same direction yes, but they rotate in opposition. If you swap that head, blower, cam ect, your engine will rotate in the opposite direction.

  • You made a nice job of that, you probably didn't need to get the pistons fitted but it gave you confidence in the job and getting the replacement head was a wise choice. I'm retired now been around Detroits all my life and I can't remember the first one I put together,45 years ago at least but I guess I would have been more nervous than you. And just importantly, congratulations on baby. Now there's a different adventure. Thanks for your time mate and all the best for the future.
