The largest one I have worked on was a v-16, (2 ea. 871 Detroits doweled in tandem with one common crankshaft. I don't remember the horsepower but it was in a 50 ton rated Euclid dumptruck.
im a captian and i ran a 115 footer that had twin v-16s huge and runs forever been accross the Atlantic to Africa with it twice only really minor problems
I believe the largest Detroit Diesel ever produced would have to be the 20v149. It is a V-20, with 149 cubic inches per cylinder. This behemoth is used in mining and other applications.

What are the strokes in a two stroke diesel engine?
suction stroke and exhaust strokes are the two strokes involved in 2 stroke engine....
How do you distinguish between a petrol engine and diesel engine?
A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine which uses the heat of compression to ignite the fuel/air mixture in the third stroke of the 4-stroke cycle, while the petrol engine is an internal combustion engine which uses an electrically-generated spark system to do the ignition. Diesel engines have a higher efficiency compared to petrol engines. In simple terms this means diesel engines can give 50% or more miles per gallon than petrol engines.
How does a Bollinger engine work?
The engine is a 2 stroke 'semi' diesel. Inlet and exhaust are as per 'normal' two stroke diesel but the injected fuel is not ignited by compression alone as in a normal diesel. Instead a 'hot bulb' on the cylinder head is heated with a blow-lamp before starting and heat from this, transferred to a tube in the combustion chamber which ignites the fuel to start the engine. Once running the engine itself maintains the temperature. Often called a Hot Bulb Engine.
What is the purpose of camshaft in the diesel engine?
The camshaft operated the inlet and outlet valves in the cylinder to admit fuel to the engine before ignition and expel the exhaust gas after the power stroke. The camshaft operates at half the crankshaft speed in a four-stroke engine.
Why two stroke engine not used in aircrafts?
In the two stroke petrol engine as you know suction,compression,ignition,expansion and exhaust is completed in only two stroke and one revolution of crank wheel more over diesel ignites at very high pressure which is not the same in case of petrol........if petrol is also ignited under pressure it explodes producing a big thumping sound.called KNOCKINGthis may reduce the power output and also lead to breakdown of the engine. For the above reason two stroke engine cannot compress air and ignite the fuel like diesel engine.
What are examples of two stroke engine?
Detroit diesel engine is an example of two stroke engine
Different green diesel and diesel engine?
green engine is 6stroke engine and diesel engine is 4 stroke
Is the 60 sers the 1st 4 stroke by Detroit diesel?
No
Difference between the events of four stroke petrol engine and that of a diesel engine?
Diesel engines are still 4-stroke (unless and early Detroit engine which were 2-stroke) only real difference between gas and diesel is fuel delivery and ignition.diesel uses high compression,fuel atomization and heat to fire cylinder,where gas engines need a ignition source.hope info was helpfull.
What amount of power required to make the 2 stroke petrol engine to 4 stroke diesel engine?
you cant turn a 2 stroke into a four stroke. and i don't think you can run diesel in a 2 stroke
How many strokes for diesel engine?
Diesel engines can be built in both 2-stroke and 4-stroke
Can the two stroke engine be used in any direction or orientation if so explain?
It depends, a chainsaw or weed wacker can be run upside down because the two cycle oil mixed in the gas is what lubes the engine. A Detroit Diesel two stroke engine can not.
Define plunger stroke in a diesel injection system?
Plunger stroke is the speed on the engine. This is the injection system on a diesel.
Four stroke diesel engine work principle?
how diesel engine works. on which principle diesel engine works. who search the diesel engine. capacity of diesel engine. how we calculate the efficiency of diesel engine. firing order of diesel engine. any videos
What are the strokes in a two stroke diesel engine?
suction stroke and exhaust strokes are the two strokes involved in 2 stroke engine....
Why cant a 2 stroke diesel engine be manufactured?
Two stroke diesel engines have been manufactured for many years, Detroit have made them for use in loading shovels and dump trucks and foden trucks in England made a two stroke in the 60's for their trucks, they are by modern standards loud, thirsty and dirty.
What is the purpose of the intake stroke in a naturally aspirated diesel engine?
