Anatomy of a Marine Turbo Diesel Engine

Diesel engine guru Ron Doerr takes us on a short tour of a marine diesel engine looking at its components and sharing some highlights on maintenance.

These are Detroit 692 TA turbo-aftercooled units, around 500 horsepower.

Ron is the principal of Diesels Plus in Florida and is an old school master mechanic. He knows diesels inside and out and is determinedly relentless at making them behave.
