For it's intended purpose, it was a great engine.But that's an engine from the 1960s.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dependable and economical, it was a popular powerplant in its market segment.Incidentally, Scania-Vabis (now simply known as Scania) was one of the first engine makers to furnish a centrifigal oil filter on their engines.The Mack-Scania relationship goes far back.

theakerstwo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I was going to say something about the centrifugal oil filter and then seen were it had been mentioned.It was the first one that I had heard of and that was in the mid 60s. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
