Can anybody point me to a good source, either print or on-line for EMD 567/645/710 engines. I’m specifically looking for the " EMD quirks" type, but anything will usually give me an idea. It’s only been 20 years since I messed with EMD’s, so the mental hard drive is a little full… ---

Most of the boats I work on are 12 cyl 567c engines. You might be able to get a tech manual from Inland diesel in Carol Stream, IL. Hatch and Kirk might have them as well. We have a inland guy out inspecting the main bearings on one of our boats. I will ask him this week and let you know. Jeff ---
