Cummins' New 927 in3 Diesel Engine

A new heavy-duty in-line 6 cyl diesel engine has been developed for the truck, construction, industrial, and marine markets. The displacement is 927 in³ with a 5 1/2 in bore and 6 1/2 in stroke, with naturally aspirated ratings of 240 and 260 SAE hp at 2100 rpm. The design is based on a currently successful 855 in³ engine and includes design changes in many basic components, such as angle drilled crankshaft, offset drilled rod, revised water and lube system, and others, to improve the durability of the product.
