6.5 L MARINE Diesel Engine 18:1 FITS: Peninsular Marine, Max Marine, Hammerhead

Description: The pictured engine is built for turbo & non-turbo Marine applications (customer is to specify: non-turbo or turbo; side or rear-mount setup) Compatible with: Peninsular Marine, Max Marine & Hammerhead applications New engine, built with improved AM General Optimizer® Block and Heads! Not some Chinese knock-off junk! Special Marine spec build; 18:1 Compression, OEM / Mahle Cleveite internals Can be used as a replacement for older 6.2 marine engine applications Here is What is New and Improved about our Engines: These Engines Are Built Using the New Improved Block & Head Castings (not from China!). Our engines also include major improvements to the oiling systems, including our exclusive: High Volume & High Pressure Oil pumps. NEW / IMPROVED BLOCK & HEADS: The iron used in the new block utilizes molybdenum, a metal yielding a 20-25% increase in strength, without being brittle. The new block design also incorporates improved main bearing webs and caps. In addition, the head bolt holes in the block deck are strengthened, vastly improving head gasket durability. Additionally, changes of the water jacket design in the heads have helped address the 6.5's overheating problems. The original 6.5 & 6.2 cylinder heads produced by GM were prone to developing small cracks between the valves. The new redesigned heads have added chromium to the cast-iron to virtually eliminate these and other cracking issues. This new block and head system offers complete parts interchangeability & bolt hole alignment as your original block. OILING SYSTEM: This new engine also gains improved durability & longevity with a High Volume / High Pressure oiling system, our exclusive. INTERNAL COMPONENTS: We use MAHLE Clevite branded internal parts on both our new and remanufactured offerings. These are top quality parts from a well known industry leader. AM General and GM both use/d MAHLE as the O.E.M. internals. Mahle Clevite has significantly improved both the Pistons and Connecting Rods since the time that the 6.5 was used by General Motors. The Connecting rods are more durable and the Pistons are stronger and lighter. With these important improvements, Our 6.5's are among the toughest 6.5L diesels engines available today. We have have been selling our version 6.5L engine for 20+ years now with great over-the water success. Not one block or head crack issue to date. - Now that's what we mean by an improvement. Compare to others: Our longblocks come with already installed; Valve covers, Oil pan, Oil Pickup Tube, Timing Chain Cover, New Harmonic Balancer. Every one of our engines are hot-run in on the dyno after final assembly. During this time the camshsft is properly broken-in, the and the engine is monitored for any sign of oil or coolant leaks. All of our engines are dyno tested; this is why we do not offer short-block engines, Short-blocks can not be adequately tested on the dyno.
