Diagnosing the Detroit Diesel 471

In this video Adrian and I teardown the Detroit Diesel from Renko to find the source of the oil leak, which ends up to be leaking wrist pin / gudgeon pin seals. While the engine is out we also add an air compressor along with several other improvements to make the most of the opportunity.

This particular leak allows oil to flow up through the conrods, along the wrist pins then out the sides of the piston. It then travels through the liner ports and into the airbox which should only have fresh air and exhaust in it. The oil will then leak out through the airbox drains into the catch can and/ or out the exhaust pipe.
