Will they deny warranty coverage if they find contaminated fuel?

Do you think it will start on the first pull?

There are no internal differences with the Cummins!

Can you get ARP head studs for it?



Higher volume injectors?

Probably don't need head studs. The engineers that designed that engine likely don't use the junk TTY head bolts - the "elastic bands" of the diesel world.

That's the "little" one.
The "big" one is 14 cylinders.
BUT, it would take a heck of an overdrive to use it on the highway. It is redlined at 102 RPM!
It isn't much like a Cummins. The Cummins is a 4 stroke cycle engine, this thing is a 2 stroke cycle. There is a separate injection system for upper cylinder lubricant, as well as a common rail type fuel injection.
Apparently, the beast works great for pushing large ships over the oceans!

Gotta do the 2,800volt FICM and let the injectors rip!
