We have just recently purchase
We have just recently purchased a 1970 Tod Tornado which has 2 Perkins HT6.354 engines.We purchased the boat from a marina in the UK (where we live) as a repossession and therefore have no prior knowledge from the owners on the condition.The Port engine turns OK and we have todate not fired it up until we service it. The Stbd engine will not turn and we have tried on the front Aux shaft to turn and also removed the Starter motor and tried a bar on the the ringgear. We have also removed the Injectors and put diesel down to try to free any rust on the pistons.We have all got engineering knowledge but not with this particular engine and would appreciate any help before we lift it out.Please could anyone give us any other ideas or cause's that maybe contributing to this problem.Having read all the discussion about Perkins on this Forum I am sure someone will have the knowledge we are looking for.Thanks in anticipation of your help.
