I guess that proves a lousy rebuild job was done. The Detroit Diesel two-stroke-cycle engine is the first sucessful diesel engine ever made. It was being used long before Rudolph Diesel got his to work. Invented by a British guy named Clark - so if things were fair, we'd be using "Clark" fuel, not diesel fuel. Clark's two-stroke-cycle supercharged diesel engine was made in 1878. Rudolph Diesel's engine first came out in 1893 and it blew up. His second better engine was in 1896 - 18 years after Clark introduced his engine. Year's later, General Motors adopted the Clark engine and it became the Detroit Diesel. I've got several machines with 2-53s and 3-53s. Also a dozer with a 3-71. They were also the number one choice for powering refrigerated railroad cars and just about ran forever. All great engines.
