So yesterday I went to pick up some home heating oil tanks with my boss and noticed a diesel engine outside of the guys shop. This motor looked like it was set up just like a 3B to my semi untrained eye. It was marked ThermoKing on the valve cover, side plate, and even the block was stamped "TK". But everything else reminded me of a 3B. The only other difference was the generator was on the left side.
The injector pump (I think that's what it is) was labeled Made in Japan and also was labeled 'Kiki'. Pat (fj40moneypit) told me once that the reefer units often used Japanese diesels, and I'm pretty sure this is what I found. I've been lookin for a diesel for a while, think this is worth checkin into? I'm just wonderin if a tranny will bolt up to it, if the output shaft is correct, etc. The owner said I could have it and if it turns out to be a good motor, he'd want 500 for it. Should I hop on it? I'll try to get some pics/ other numbers off it in the near future. Thanks in advance for the help. Josh
