Alex, can you please post some Kraz engine pictures? Inquiring minds want to know.

It's no problem!!! That is:

V8, 240 HP, atmospheric diesel engine, 990 Nm torque, with mechanical high pressure fuel pump and injectors.
You can see old-school valve covers - with plastic knobs and red star print (factory stamp, that engine checked for military use)

50 Liters of coolant in system (block, core, heater core and preheater ) and 37 Liters of oil xDDDDD

Some overview pics of truck.

Many of 255's was in civilian service - for geologist, mining, logging, oil producing and etc.
Drivers not like Kraz, because it very hard to servicing in one person. Engine is over 1 ton of weight, each wheel - 250 kG,
gearboxes, transfer cases, axles, hubs, rotors - all of them are gigantic and overweight.
In army, when 20 men or more per truck - sure, can any work to do quick ))))
But at far away, at wild, when driver one to one with truck - any fault can be fatal, especially in winter.

Who told - that is unstuckable, that is unstuckable... ))))) All in this world can be drowned))))))
That was first time to use a winch. Not easy too - can say. Metal rope about 23 mm in diameter is looks as spring. It take a drum shape and after unwind you pull it to the tree, and rope try to pull you to the truck ))))))))
