through a rod clear through the block and they wouldn't fix it so he
posted it all to the internet?
If you got the URL, post it here. I seem to have lost it.

(probably why he went away). I also believe that I read a press release
somewhere, sometime that stated that MAN agreed to fix or replace a lot of
other motors in our part of the world. Not because the product was bad, but
because of how us North American's typical usage pattern put a lot more
strain on the engines than the typical user in the rest of the world. Just
good will on their part, nothing to do with the law or anything like that,
ya' know.

action suit. That contained less then say 10 other folks. All the others
settled with Man, but he did not. But this ended the "Class" so to
speak.
I think this is also the same guy who was going around to a lot of boat
shows and handing out pamphlets + having planes fly around pulling
banners etc..
For some reason I think he had one of those "SunSeekers" and had
purchased it used.

Mann owners who experiences multiple piston failures which, to date,
the company has refused to admit were overburdened by their attempt to
get 1100 hp out of a 300 hp block.
Is it any wonder they exploded?

newsgroups.

same guy. I recall some of the boating rags had articles about it some
time back. I am not going to invest a lot of time in this since I only
have one source of information and doubt that I will be buying anything
with 100k engine :-)

beat in 130k miles. Although it is a Detroit Diesel so mabey that does
not apply. My older brother had a 80 Cutlass with that converted diesel
thing. It was not such a good deal. :-)

It says Detroit Diesel on it?? GM hasn't owned Detroit Diesel in a
LOT of years! Why would they buy an outside contractor's diesel when
they have their own in-house. Your GM diesel, like mine, wasn't a
Detroit Diesel, I don't think. DD is owned by Penske, isn't it?

Well you made me look :-) I can't see where it has anything stamped on
it with the maunfacture. But you might check out
http://www.62-65-dieselpage.com/
That contains this information:
Designed as a diesel engine from the ground up by the Detroit Diesel
Division of General Motors the original 6.2L diesel engine was
introduced in the 1982 model year GMC and Chevy C/K truck line. Taking
this engine design to the next level in the 1992 model year, the new
6.5L diesel engine was an advancement in technology, and was designed
for the application of a turbocharger. The 6.2L saw it's final year of
production in 1993.

Should be easy to tell......
Does it have a RoosaMaster injection pump where the distributor should
be?
Yes - It's not a DD....
No-It may be a DD....
