If it's the truck in your signature,it's probably a Cat engine brake.
-
Jake Brake lol ,,,,,another invention of Clessie Cummins
-
Sorry,Sunshine, its NOT a Jake Brake,it is a Caterpillar Engine Brake.
-
Who built it first?
Cat is a johnny come lately to the truck engine business.
The only reason I even liked the 1693 was because of the precombustion chambers. Sure a little less thermally efficient design but, rugged as hell, tolerant of low cetane fuel, and nozzle spray patterns were not as critical.
The precombustion design also minimized ignition delay and sent a nice smooth flame front into the cylinder. -
They invented jake brakes on cummins back in the 30s now he says
-
I think he got passed by a Cat today.Something happened.Who let him in anyway?
-
So what was the original diesel engine designed to run on?
-
He seems like he has much sand in his vajin!
