Keith, that is a very interesting share. Great news for all those oil well pumps around North America, they won't have to change them all out when environmental issues head their way. Not counting a ton of engine rebuild jobs to be done. This might create a much larger need for aftermarket parts for all those DD's being kept in service which could mean good news for coach owners with these engines.

Now, I didn't see anything showing the 8 cylinder versions. I know most all of the pumps I have seen are the 6 cylinder 71 and 92's in service. Now if the V-8's are not available, they could easily add those parts needed to the mix. Just grind up some V-8 cams and a couple more cylinders etc....

The emissions results on these rebuilt Detroit 2-stoke are utter amazing!

Unfortunately i dont think they have a kit for the 8v's, if I keep mine long enough and it locks up I will be experimenting with a different engine, just not sure what, maybe a series 60, I guess we will see when the time comes. Or maybe a pair of those super light detroit helicopter (I like to call them jet boat) engines!

While I'm not sure it was the same kit, my 1989 Eagle bus, 6V92 DDEC II had a catalytic converter installed. I was told the the cams had been changed & possibly the injectors. The DDEC indicated 300HP. The previous owner was New Jersey Transit and they had put decals all over the back of the bus indicating "clean air vehicle"
