There has been some old two stroke engines that there were times I have had to eliminate temper a couple of times. What better than to stick a dispatcher in the eye when I tell him your crappy load plan just burned up along with the engine.
The one way I know how to burn out a engine is to redline it and then seek a way (This is way before computers...) to get it past that redline.
It would not do it. Any appreciable damage. (There were two exceptions and that was not out of anger, just a grotesque load weight.

What did they call the v 12 gas jimmys? I only ever seen a couple of them used for irrigation engines in Kansas. They had a distributer cap that was as big around as a 5 gallon bucket. lol

I drove 4 jimmies. Owner loved them back when I drove for him. 6-71, 8V71(318), 12V71 and the last Detroit he bought was a 8V92 and a BC 1 Cummins. I had my choice on the last 2. I went with the 400.

The V 12's I looked at, did have 4 heads and manifolds, but just one distributor, I looked it over pretty good.
My logging boss still uses an old pete some that has the old buzzin dozen.
My first real truckin job was in a brand new gimmy pulling a 50 ton lowboy with one of them power house 318 jimmys. lol It did the job, I would hate to go back that direction though. lolOLDSKOOLERnWV Thanks this. -
I may be wrong, but I seem to remember that the 2 strokes needed a single viscocity oil, does anybody know if that is right or not. I know I an delo in the 318 I owned for a couple of years, but I don't remember what weight.
OLDSKOOLERnWV Thanks this.
