Lomatec marine diesel?

Author Message   Frank Smith New member Username: frank01234 Post Number: 1 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Thursday, October 05, 2006 - 06:59 pm:    Hi there, Has anybody heard of "Lomatec" as a marine diesel manufacturer? They seem to sell marinized Nissan blocks. However, it seems impossible to locate the company. Thanks, Frank   Simon Evans Visitor Posted on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 03:23 am:    Hi Frank, I would like to find out more about Lomatec marine engines, too. I was wondering whether you got anything for your request for information, Simon   mladen milojevic New member Username: milojev Post Number: 1 Registered: 02-2007 Posted on Wednesday, February 14, 2007 - 11:50 am:    PLEASE can anyone help me whith this LOMATEC engines?!!!

Almost immediately the impeller pump leaked. MDT sent me a new Johnson pump at no cost and said that they were going to replace the pumps on all the lomotecs when they arrive at their factory. At engine hour 13 the rear seal gave out. MDT is sending me a new hopefully better one at no cost. MDT is a good up front co. and easy to work with. But I am understandably shakey about the engine.   B Smith 1. Visitor Posted on Monday, July 09, 2007 - 03:05 pm:    I purchased a 29 hp 3 cyl.model from MDT power also, I agree with Walter about the proactive response from the company. I had a water pump seal leak as well. I am pleased with the performance of the motor(I installed myself)and have had no further problems(58 hrs.) I too am a little curious re. the actual base motor and marinization, but the price was right and service from MDT is very good.   Bruce Barnett Visitor Posted on Monday, July 23, 2007 - 12:53 pm:    We are seriously thinking about repowering our yacht with an 85hp Lomatec Marine engine and was wondering how Walter Teper and B Smith 1 would rate the engine now that they have had longer to assess it. Please anyone else with information regarding Lomatec Marine diesel engines we would appreciate your advice. Thank you   walter teper New member Username: chatondefoi Post Number: 2 Registered: 03-2007 Posted on Thursday, July 26, 2007 - 11:53 pm:    Hi Bruce, I think that you wil like the motor very much. Mine is running quite well now. You will have no worry if you buy it from MDT. They are a good company. I found the manuels translation into english a little rough. But then again I'm from N>Y>C> so what would I know about english.   B Smith1 Visitor Posted on Wednesday, August 01, 2007 - 03:55 pm:    Bruce, Being a sailor I use the motor less than I would in a power boat, that said I recently had a 20 hr. upwind motor into steep chop, the motor ran without a hitch, cooling well and oil pressure perfect. I like it.   Ron P Visitor Posted on Thursday, October 18, 2007 - 12:01 am:    Hi, I am thinking about buying a 115hp Lomatec engine & ZF-45-1 Gear Box - Anyone with any comments   Bruce Barnett Visitor Posted on Sunday, November 04, 2007 - 11:41 pm:    Hi Ron We have installed a 85hp Lomatec in our 44ft Roberts ketch It is the none turbo version of the engine you are thinking about We have only done a couple of hours so far but we think the engine is great and also good value for the price We bought our engine from Boss Machinery in PERTH West Australia They are an excellent company to deal with   Steven Chan Visitor Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 03:16 am:    I require 1 unit of Daihatsu marine engine crankshaft of model 6PSKTC-26M.

Walter   Frank Smith New member Username: frank01234 Post Number: 2 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - 08:57 am:    Hi there, As the initiator of this posting, I eventually bought a Lomatec L4D18MA‏ (Nissan block / 35HP) from a reseller in China, so called Mr. Wang Jianyou. Unfortunately, the service from him or his company appear to be very bad. The engine was deliverd with the air filter placed on the top of the engine, while on the pictures sent to me before the purchase, showed the air filter placed on the side. I had to change this, since the engine cover would have to be 30 cm higher then expected. I had to find a solution for this roblem myself. I have asked the guy in China (manufacturer) to send me the appropriate exhaust pipe, in order to modify this, but did not receive any help or cooperation at all from him or his company. The waterpump inmediatelly, started to leak while starting the engine for the first time. I agree that the water pump is bad. I exchanged some e-mails with James White from (Marine Diesel Traders)‎ in Australia. Allthough they did not sell the engine to me, James was were very helpfull in provinding the details for the replacement of the waterpump, which seems to be a copy of a Johnson waterpump. I am using the engine on a lifeboat, which was transformed into a launch. The engine sounds ok, however it is not very compact like other engines of the same power, like Volvo Penta, Vetus or Yanmar. If size is not really a matter, then it maybe a good engine, given the price. I will post more, as soon as I have obtained more experience with this engine. I am attaching a photo to this message (which a also sent to the reseller in China), which shows my concerns about the engine.

We want to use and sale these engines in Thailand for local market on fishing, working and pleasure boats but he seems really not to be interested in this huge market where it is really expensive to use imported EU and Japanese engines. Please let me know.   nederland Visitor Posted on Sunday, September 28, 2008 - 06:01 am:    hello i have buyed a 37 hp lomatec and have no problems with it have now 100 hours on the engine and its stil perfect   Frank Smith New member Username: frank01234 Post Number: 3 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 - 05:53 pm:    Dear Luigi, I don't think Mr. Wang Jianyou has anything to do with the manufacturer directly. As far as I believe, he is a middleman, a reseller. There many other people in China selling the Lomatec engines. I don't have any contact details of the manufacturer. It is a very unprofessional, Mr. Wang Jianyou is in my opnion not reliable to do business with. Promisses, but no results.   Brian Darmanin Visitor Posted on Monday, October 06, 2008 - 06:39 pm:    Hi everyone interested in the LOMATEC marine engines. I have purchased the L4D18MA directly from the manufacturers in China. I too dealt with Mr. Wang Jianyou and he has always answered my e-mails. I have also called him on the phone many times.

Could you post email address of Mr. Wang Jianyou? Do they have a web site? Has anybody ran this engine more then 100 hours? It is also interesting guaranteed life in hours given by manufacturer until complete overhaul. Also I would like to hear any comments about gearboxes. Reliable? Thanks   Frank Smith Member Username: frank01234 Post Number: 4 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, October 10, 2008 - 04:13 pm:    Hi Valentin, Strange enough they don't have a website!   Luigi Innamorati New member Username: andrea2 Post Number: 3 Registered: 09-2008 Posted on Friday, October 10, 2008 - 09:49 pm:    This it is the cover of the Workshop manual they (Mr. Wang Jianyou) sent to me together with a brochure, inside the manual nothings about any marine engine...it is just a copy of an Isuzu 4 cyl. truck engine workshop manual, the website on cover doesn't work as well.   Brian Darmanin New member Username: briand Post Number: 1 Registered: 10-2008 Posted on Monday, October 13, 2008 - 03:36 am:    Hi Valentin. Mr. Wang's e-mail address is: jywtl@pub.tz.jsinfo.net I have always managed to get him on this address and he usually answers. He, apparently, is the Sales manager for Lomatec and is out of the office quite often. If he does not answer your mail within 5-6 days, send him another he will eventually answer.   Valentin Visitor Posted on Monday, October 13, 2008 - 01:38 pm:    I contacted Mr. Wang today and got very fast responce from him. I'm going to buy 70HP L4D32MA engine. I knew from him that based engine is Nissan QD32 and gearbox is TMC260. If anybody has something to say about it - welcome.   Luigi Innamorati Member Username: andrea2 Post Number: 4 Registered: 09-2008 Posted on Monday, October 13, 2008 - 08:56 pm:    NOTE: Gear box it is a COPY of italian Twin-Disc Techonodrive TMC260, engine it is the Nissan assembled with unauthorized spare parts for this engine (not from Nissan) assembled on a copy of the cast block (it is a copy of the Nissan). But everything looks to work well. But isn't an original Nissan and/or TM. NOTE: Spare parts from TM cannot be used on this gearbox.   chris green New member Username: jiff Post Number: 1 Registered: 10-2008 Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 10:33 pm:    Gday all I recently purchased a yacht with a newly installed 115 hp turbo LOMATEC engine . The engine was purchased from and installed by BOSS Machinery ,MALAGA WA .The engine has now done 370 hrs without missing a beat !! The water pump fitted was said to accept the Johnson impeller but the one i fitted leaked because the impeller does not seal flat against either the pump housing or cover plate . There is a "notch" in the sealing surfaces on the impeller . As the pump is likely to be common to a number of similar sized motors i was hopping that someone has found a solution . I am also having trouble finding oil filters to suit this motor . Any answers greatly appreciated !!

It started to leak immediately. We have now installed an original Johnson water pump (350 Euros), which is working fine. The instrument pannel showing the engine rotation no longer works, also some LEDS on the instrument panel light up for no reason. Also the fitting of the heat exchanger is leaking; need to find a new one. The engine has now runned for 6 hours. Tried to buy an instrument panel from the Dutch Lomatec representative, no response. Eventually they asked 275,- Euro's (presumabley still have to pay the VAT on the top of that). Apparently no response, because we bought the engine directly from Mr. Mr. Wang Jianyou. I will post some photo's soon showing the state of the engine. Regards, Frank Smith The Netherlands   Brian Darmanin New member Username: briand Post Number: 2 Registered: 10-2008 Posted on Sunday, February 01, 2009 - 08:42 am:    Hi Guys, I have finally fitted the L4D18MA Lomatec engine. It skipped in quite nicely. Got it all hooked up and.... HEY PRESTO! it started first time and all seemed well, i.e. no leaks or funny noises. I had to place the oil filter, the fuel filter and the water tank in remote locations due to space restrictions. The engine was running for about five minutes when we noticed that there was no oil pressure even though the oil pressure warning light did not come on. Try as we might we could not find anything wrong.... even changed the oil pressure gauge to a mechanical one, still no change. Finally we removed the sump and found that the washers on the relief valve were not the correct ones, changed those but still no pressure. I called Mr. Wang and he asked me to send him some photos, which I have done, and I am now waiting for his reply.   peter klootwijk Member Username: pemarboats Post Number: 4 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Sunday, February 01, 2009 - 08:57 am:    Strange that you bought again a Lomatec engine. Your post from october 2006 tells only bad thing about these engines. We as Dutch representive never had any questions about a instrumentpanel from your side and the prices for this panel is 250,- euro including v.a.t and we have this panels in stock.   Brian Darmanin New member Username: briand Post Number: 3 Registered: 10-2008 Posted on Sunday, February 01, 2009 - 09:09 am:    I think you are gravely mistaken..... I never posted in 2006. My only post was in 2008 when I informed all members of Mr. Wang's e-mail address and then I had only good things to say about him. I suggest that you re-read my post. Also I have no complaints about the instrument panel and I certainly do not require a new one. The problem I have is lack of oil pressure.   peter klootwijk Member Username: pemarboats Post Number: 5 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Sunday, February 01, 2009 - 09:11 am:    We forgot to write that we as Dutch representive all Lomatec engines deliver with jonhson pump. We also know that the name Frank Smith is a fake name. Behind this name belongs a competitor of Lomatec,and try in this way to give Lomatec a bad name. peter   peter klootwijk Member Username: pemarboats Post Number: 6 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Sunday, February 01, 2009 - 09:18 am:    Sorry, I mean Frank Smith.   Brian Darmanin Member Username: briand Post Number: 4 Registered: 10-2008 Posted on Sunday, February 01, 2009 - 09:21 am:    Apology accepted. Now as the Dutch representative for Lomatec and for the sake of good grace, can you help me with my "oil pressure" problem?   peter klootwijk Member Username: pemarboats Post Number: 7 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Sunday, February 01, 2009 - 10:13 am:    hallo Brian, We never had such problem.what kind of oil are you using?try an other oilfilter,or purhabs oil inlet tube is is given no oil.Please check also presure valve.How your oilpump is build you can find in the maintenace manual.If you don,t have a maintenace manuel we will sent to you. Please let us know. regard Peter   Brian Darmanin Member Username: briand Post Number: 5 Registered: 10-2008 Posted on Sunday, February 01, 2009 - 10:22 am:    Dear Peter, Many thanks for your reply.

I just installed my L4D32MA engine but did not run yet because it is too cold here and water freezes. I would like to be ready to get the same problem. Could you explain this more clearly? What does on this pump leak? Cover sealing or shaft sealings? Does L4D32 has same pump?   Frank Smith Member Username: frank01234 Post Number: 6 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 - 05:35 pm:    ________________________________________ This is a reply to peter van klootwijk msg.: ________________________________________ Why are you trying to delude the readers of this forum, by setting up smoke screens with your nonsense? It looks more that you're afraid to hear the discontent reactions of Lomatec buyers on this forum. No, I am not a competitor, neither a reseller of any engine and it has definitely never been my intention to give Lomatec a bad name. I just want to share my experiences with other people, just to save them the disappointed experiences I have had. It is up the readers of this forum to freely decide whether to distillate any valuable information from these postings or not. Just to remind you, I am a disappointed buyer of a Lomatec engine for which the manufacture never gave me any support or part replacement while the engine was sold with a guarantee! What about that? I must admit, at the time I bought this engine, there was no party in this country claiming any title as “dealer” or “representative”. The engine was sold directly to my friend (fellow engine owner) and I , eventually the engine was sent to us 3 months after the advanced payment. We have had many phone calls and e-mail exchanges with Mr. Wang Jianyou, asking him for an exhaust pipe adaptation replacement and other parts. He promised to send us these parts – eventually we did not receive any parts at all from him. If you’re truly the representative or dealer or whatever you claim to be in relation to Lomatec, why don’t you start to recover the damaged relationship between us a Lomatec has suffered. If you really consider yourself, a true Lomatec representative (apparently more people in Holland claim to be Lomatec dealer) then this is your chance to prove it, by giving a decent service for which we paid when we purchased the engine from your business partner, the Lomatec manufacturer or compensate us for the trouble have had with this engine. Once more, it is definitely not our intention to give Lomatec a bad name. I wish I could tell good and happy experiences; unfortunately it is not the case, I am faced with a number of issues which are unsatisfactorily as a buyer. I just like to mention that MDT powers in Australia is a successful reseller of Lomatec engines for a long time. MDT gives their customers an excellent service, even giving advice to people like me which did not purchase the engine from them. MDT helped me to find out which Johnson pump I needed as a replacement – very helpful, excellent service.   Frank Smith Member Username: frank01234 Post Number: 7 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 - 05:47 pm:    Valentin, In our case with a L4D18MA block, there were two problems: 1.) The pump was leaking 2.) The quantity of water pumped through the engine was insufficient. The pump supplied with our engine by Lomatec is an imitation of a Johnson pump with a plastic cover and far from the quality what you get when you buy an original Johnson pump. After installing the brand new original Johnson pump the water temperature lowered to a normal level.     chris green New member Username: jiff Post Number: 2 Registered: 10-2008 Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 - 06:32 pm:    .   peter klootwijk Member Username: pemarboats Post Number: 8 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - 08:29 am:    To Frank Smith, First of all we don,t talk nonsens. You have a lot of complains about Lomatec,posted in 2006, strange that you bought an other one in 2009.If we had such complains,we never bought again such an engine. Second, you never contact us ,so how can you say that we don,t deliver an instrument panel. Even now you leave a message on the forum why don,t you contact us direct? You ask for service in your last post ,so contact us!!! Third we give service to Lomatec users,never mind that they bought there engine elswere. To all other forum users from Europe if you need advice or spare parts please let us know.   Frank Smith Member Username: frank01234 Post Number: 8 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - 05:18 pm:    Reply to Peter Klootwijk: I don't understand your comment regarding "2006"? I have placed a thread on this forum, yes in October 2006. I was trying to gather more information from other Lomatec owners, before we issued the order. The posting of October 2006, is not a complaint, but a way to obtain information an inquiry! If you read the posting sequence in this forum carefully; you will discover that our complaints and disappointments were posted firstly on September 17, 2008. For your information, herewith some dates which clarify the sequences of our order. Order placed on: January 30, 2008 Advanced payment done on: February 14, 2008 Engine arrival in Rotterdam: May 16, 2008 Mr. Wang Jianyou never told us anything about any Lomatec dealer or representative in Holland. He even offered us a dealership for Lomatec in Holland. So we assume that up to May 2008, there was no Lomatec dealer in Holland. I am currently for a couple of months working outside of Holland, I will therefore ask my friend in Amsterdam, to contact you by mail or phone. Perhaps that you both can solve this issue together in a friendly manner.      Frank Smith Member Username: frank01234 Post Number: 9 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - 05:27 pm:    Question to Peter Klootwijk: Do you know what the relation is between Pemar Boats and Lomatec in the Netherlands?   peter klootwijk Member Username: pemarboats Post Number: 9 Registered: 11-2008 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 01:08 pm:    Hello Frank, Please let your friend contact us.

This company sells Danyong,when people ask for a Lomatec engine,he tells them that Lomatec is a bad engine and that he do,nt sell anylonger Lomatec they better buy a Danyong. The problem at this moment he registert the name Lomatec in Holland. Mr.Wang Jianyou and his company started a proces against this company,because Lomatec is a trade- mark of Loling machinery company.

Probably I can give you some recommendation. 1. Make sure electromagnet on the fuel pump pulls while you push stop button. If it does, problem will be in the fuel pump. If does not, check wires from stop button to electromagnet. 2. Lomatec uses gauges from Wema. As I know the Wema's RPM sensor has LED which must be lit while engine is running. If it does not, check that you have 12v supplied from ignition key to the engine and RPM meter. 3. Your propeller probably does not fit the engine, so load is too hight on idle RPM. Try to make idle RPM less then 600. 4. You can make an adaptor and install oil filter on any place of your boat. I saw in this conference somebody already did it. Good luck   johan New member Username: joopie Post Number: 2 Registered: 05-2009 Posted on Friday, June 19, 2009 - 11:55 am:    hi, ive got a 49 hp lomatec, all the gage's are working except the rpm! what could be the problem ?   Valentin Proskurnin Member Username: valentin Post Number: 4 Registered: 12-2008 Posted on Friday, June 19, 2009 - 02:29 pm:    Hi Johan, I assume you also have Wema RPM gauge with hour meter. First of all you need to check +12 voltage on connector. See below. CABLE CONNECTION a) RED CABLE +12V power (if +24V power, then connect the 82Ω5W resistor between the cable and the battery) b) BLUE CABLE Negative power (–) c) BLACK CABLE To terminal “W” on dynamo or sensor on flyweel. d) RED/WHITE CABLE Red Light, +12V power (if +24V power, then connect a 280Ω2W resistor between the cable and the battery) e) YELLOW/WH CABLE Not used by Lomatec. (This is yellow backlite) Do you have sensor installed on flyweel? If so, there is LED on the sensor. Does it light while engine is running?   Bjørn Member Username: bjørn Post Number: 8 Registered: 05-2009 Posted on Friday, June 19, 2009 - 02:37 pm:    Hello Johan, where hot t oil have when you are running around 2400 rpm?

What type of oil must be used for Lomatec gearbox? I'm confused because read in one doc that it should be ATF. But Lomatec makes only mechanical gear boxes. So ATF is not so good oil for this.

I saw the 27HP engine in a (smooth) test run. At this moment I am considering to buy a 27HP Lomartec engine. Does anyone have any experience about the reliability of Lomartec engines ? This because I think a lot of people don't use an engine as much as we do. We want to built it in an open (rescue) vessel to make trips through the canals. Our current boats are running 20 hours/week on average. So, reliability is quite important for us. While reading all the message on this forum I 'm a little bit anxious about things like "copy of Technodrive gearbox and Johnson pump" What about the diesel pump on this engine ? Pemar Boats told that this one is made by Bosch..... Is it ? It's important for us to have the most important spares in stock, this because we do our engine maintenace "in house" It seems that the basic Lomartec engine looks like "proven technology", basic engine and heavy ! A similar engine from Vetus/Yanmar is alsmost half the weight but almost twice the price. How is it possible to make an engine for such low costs ? Does anyone have more Lomartec information ? Look forward to more information. Laurens   Peter Rosenberg Bladt New member Username: bladt_marine Post Number: 1 Registered: 01-2010 Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - 09:10 am:    Hi my name is Peter I am the new agent in Denmark. I will try to answer some of your Maine questions if I have the time. First of all Mr. Wang youyin can no more sell Lomatec engines. He is a whole seller that only thinks about selling engine, and don’t care for after sails service, if you ask him he will tell you he is working on the Lomatec company as export seller.. but by my last visit on the factory the only smile when I ask them and sad “ he has no position her “ So I ask them to stop selling for him, because as I can see her the majorities of problems you have is coast by this… so on guaranty and no after sails service. We test test the engines in Denmark before we sell them to the costumers and we give the full Eu Warranty if there shut be any problems.. In our staff we have a Chinese person to take care of questions to avoid communication problems with the factory. First to the water leaking problem in the water pump is a 57 X 2.62 O – rubber gasket if you change this for 57 X 3.12 it helps a lot. You can also use some liquid gasket the press is not high so it will stop it. I have the O gaskets on stock if any boddy need it. Lomatec is about to make that change also. The gear box need SAE 20/40 motor oil in cold weather conditions can be used SAE 15 / 40 Regarding the LED time counter it’s a production error, send it back were you brought it from and the must replace it under the warranty. On the new engines there has been fitted a new device so that the oil filter is sitting on top of the gearbox leaving more space on the side of the engine( see This device we have on stock if somebody has interest to bye. Regarding the question on the engine stop on the oil pump, try to put 12 volt + and – perhaps from a charger directly on the engine stop if it doesn’t move if’s not function so give it back under warranty and the have to replace the thing, otherwise you can bye new from us. If it mows control if there is connection between the contact and the connector. Ok foks that’s all.. if you have any questions feel free to ask   Bjørn Member Username: bjørn Post Number: 22 Registered: 05-2009 Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - 10:32 am:    Hei mener du girkassa skal ha Sae20/40,jeg har spurt Mark i nederland han sier AFT oil og 15/40 motor.Jeg har akurat fått ny girkasse og ny motor på grunn av noe problemer.   Peter Rosenberg Bladt New member Username: bladt_marine Post Number: 2 Registered: 01-2010 Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - 11:16 am:    Hej Bjørn.
