I would like to know the Waukesha engine designation for the Oliver Super 55 diesel engine. Thanks.

Scott,
It's a 180.

Thank you. You would think it would match the cu. in. displacement but it doesn't.

That came later. Also the Oliver Diesel and Waukesha Diesel is not the same. Also the diesel they put in the Clark lift truck is different from either one but many of the internal parts will interchange with an Oliver 550/660/ Questions? Confused? Have a good day!/

Yeah John, I'm confused. I thought all of the Super 55 diesel engines were cast by Oliver, machined by Waukesha and I don't know who assembled it. The 550s had the engine totally built by Oliver, right?

Look at your engine block. The 180 number is the Waukesha number, IL100 number is the Oliver number. Oliver diesels have a Lanova combustion chamber and a cross flow head. The Waukesha has a Ricardo type chamber. If you have the issue of the newsletter that talks about the Oliver Diesel look at the picture of the 88 engine. Waukesha stayed with that design for quite a while. Oliver did the castings, Waukesha did the machine work and assembly work. Now money is money. After the Waukesha was dropped by Oliver they (Waukesha came out with a modified version of that engine for a Clark fork lift. It has the same bore and stroke as the 550 and is 155 cubic inch displacement. It takes the same sleeves and pistons for a gas engine. Blocks heads and water pumps are totally different and the last one I looked at does not have the Oliver number cast in the block, but it may have been cast in Charles City. Some of those also have ballancers in the pan and I think the real late ones have hydraulic valve lifters!It is known as a Waukesha D-155 G engine. D is the fourth letter of the alphabet and that is used to tell you how many cylinders in the engine 155 is the cubic inch displacement. That is a later style of Waukesha engine identification. Then they also made some engines they called the VRG series The VRG 155 is one. Waukesha is still building engines but they are a little larger than an Oliver engine. I have an operators manual for one that is L1616. L is the letter that designates the number of cylinder (12 same as its rank in the alphabet, 1616 is the displacement in cubic inches. Then they also made some late 155 cubic inch diesels that have a Lanova head and are found on some Galion? Dresser rollers. The last engines assembled by Oliver were Moline engines not Oliver engines. Now are you confused?
