That doesn't address the weak bottom end at all. Also, milling the bowl would have to be done carefully to avoid loosing the swirl effect the multifuel has.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
But in that case you lose the MultiFuel capabilityI think one could retain the multifuel capability of the engine with today's building techniques. But you'd have far more into this engine than a simple 12 valve 5.9 cummins with a few meager upgrades.
I consider myself corrected. I do however prefer that I can run anything that will burn in the Deuce in a pinch. Or can the Cummins do that as well, as long as it is not gasoline (ie I am thinking Jet fuel, Jet-A1, kerosene etc, or does the same apply to that, as to gasoline?)Correct, but a 12v Cummins will run WMO and WVO just as the multi will. The Multi can run gasoline though. (With oil and you're shortening it's life)
Because the engine no longer is a pure diesel engine as it was first designed.I just don't understand why this motor only produces a little more than .25 hp/ci but can't be tuned to .5 hp/ci without severely affecting its useful life. We're only talking about 232.5 hp at .5/ci. The CR is high and I can see that being a limit but it doesn't make sense that you would have to do a complete race build just to make useable hp. Does anyone know where I can find the compressor maps for the available stock turbos? I honestly think the biggest limit for this motor is the intake.
I was under the impression, after reading through threads all night, that the HG blows because the OE head bolts do not secure the head very well. There is supposedly a video on youtube showing the head floating during normal use. So upgraded head bolts would deffinently be on the list.No, it was rated at even less power as a diesel tractor engine. And no, it's CR ratio was less.

They only made about 9500 of them BTW. And for two years.
The NA Multi has the same CR as well.
Some facts to think about:
These engines blow head gaskets commonly stock.
These engines routinely throw rods stock.
These engines vibrate terribly.
So, if you just want 300hp out of it, all the time. You're going to need to do the following at least.
Balance the bottom end. Better rod bolts. Better rods. Better head gaskets (Be it fire ring'ed heads/blocks, or a custom gasket). Girdled bottom end. Better valve springs.
You're basically asking for a engine that was designed for 110hp stock to increase it's power 200%.
