Re: Detroit Allison 8.2 diesel
Never overheat it as they are known to be weak in the
Head
deck
and
gasket
department, early series are particularly bad due to smaller
head
studs. Detroit built a great
2 stroke
should have left the 4 strokes to Cat and Cummins.

Re: Detroit Allison 8.2 diesel
We had a DD8.2 in our first
boat
. Worked fine, no problems. You could review the Johnson & Towers (J&T) website for marinizing info.

Keep the
cooling
and
alarm
system in good order also pay attention to Valve lash clearances and
fuel
timing.
