Thanks Jason. That is really quite cool ! So the piston itself was a "self contained" unit. Wonder if any of those pistons survived.

I had three 1940's IHC TD6 dozers that also started that way. My TD14 out back also started that way. Now it's a yard ornament since the differential broke.

I was thinking the same thing about failures too. Like what happens when a bearing starts to get loose due to wear and oil pressure drops on that rod only. Lets say oil pressure drops on that rod and that piston change it's compression and the others don't. Now we have a severe compression...

The question that remains is how did they activate the pistons ? Was there two oil holes drilled into the crank per piston ? One hole providing oil for the bearings and then the other providing the oil needed to move the piston in the piston ? I wonder.

Hey Jason. Is there anymore information on this engine ? I tried to find some on Google but came up blank. It would be great if we could find out more of the engine specifications like valve timing and lift, and injector size. That sort of stuff. Basically, what did they do to create that much...

Thanks Jason. That is some cool information !
