    Opposed-Piston Engines

    Rolls-Royce also built an opposed-piston engine for military vehicles. It was a multi-fuel diesel. I believe the designation was k-60. One feature I remember was that the upper and lower crankshafts were a few degrees out of phase. Apparently that improved performance. I don't know whether that...

    PERKINS 354 AIR COMPRESSOR

    The compressor is single-cylinder, air-cooled. There is nothing on it to identify the manufacturer. It looks like the S.C 4 compressor covered in the manual. The manual doesn't say who made it either, so it may be Perkins' own manufacture. I think I have most of it figured out. I went back...

    PERKINS 354 AIR COMPRESSOR

    I'm installing an air compressor (I believe it's an SC4) on a Perkins 6-354 (naturally aspirated). This is the style of compressor that bolts to the left side of the engine block. The manual doesn't cover the plumbing for the compressor. There's a small-diameter tube fitting on the crankcase...

    Wisconsin v-4 won't start

    As I mentioned in my second post, I followed the instructions in the manual to get compression. Still wouldn't start. It is firing. It just won't fire consistently enough to catch and run. I can't tell whether every cylinder is firing, but I suspect they are, because there's spark on all...

    Wisconsin v-4 won't start

    I replaced the plugs. No change. I noticed that the plugs in both the original engine and the replacement engine were gapped at .018, so I tried them that way as well as the .030 the manual specifies. No difference. With the plug out and lying on top of the engine with the plug wires connected...

    Wisconsin v-4 won't start

    For some reason. B0b's reply doesn't appear in this thread, but I found it in "Topic Review". I have the manual. One thing it mentioned was that when these engines are out of use for a long period, it's normal for them to lose compression. I didn't consider a month to be a long period, since...

    Wisconsin v-4 won't start

    I just installed a used VH4d in a manlift. Before I got it, it had been sitting for years, but it started easily, ran smoothly, didn't smoke, seemed to have all the power it needed. I used it for about half an hour, then shut it down. A month later, it wouldn't start. It fires, but won't...
