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 |

I purchesed a lomatec 65 hp L4d26 from MDT a co. in Au. 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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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 |
