Buy Volvo Penta TAMD 70C parts engine w/ good MG506 1.5:1 transmission in Sebastian, Florida, United States, for US $2,500.00

Volvo TAMD 70C 270HP turbocharged diesel marine engine. This engine was used in a recreational dive boat. It developed a knock on 10 June 2016 and was found to have lost compression in cylinder #5. There is no water in the oil and no oil in the cooling system. I pulled the injectors out of cylinders #2, #3, #4 and #5, then put an inspection camera into the cylinders. All but #5 looked perfect. I could not see the damage in #5 clearly, but I could see debris, so since I needed the boat back in service quickly, I replaced the engine. This engine was running great up until this problem. I have owned it since 2012. I changed the oil and filters every 100 hrs and it has never used a drop of oil. I serviced the heat exchanger last summer and cleaned every inch of the cooling system.

The Twin Disc MG 506 1.5:1 transmission functions perfectly. Great transmission, smooth as butter on a hot day. I would have used it with the new engine, but I needed a 2:1 trans.

The engine and transmission are exactly as represented. Come and inspect here in Sebastian, FL 32958 and ask all the questions you like. Since this engine is for parts- all sales are final on a parts engine. No warranties, express or implied.

This engine/transmission weighs somewhere between 2500 and 3000 lbs. Local pickup only.

Thanks for looking at my auction. Don't delay, buy today! All proceeds will be used to fund our treasure hunting effort here on the 1715 Fleet on Florida's Treasure Coast.

IIHS names safest cars for 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has named the safest cars for 2013, including 13 midsize sedans that qualify for a new “top safety pick+” designation. The designation is given to vehicles that earn “good” ratings for occupant protection in at least four of five tests, with no less than “acceptable” in the fifth test. A new test -- the small overlap test -- was added to assess how the vehicles perform during a front-corner collision with another vehicle or object, such as a utility pole.

Bentley uses 3D printing to prototype new designs [w/Video]

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

3D printing is changing the way the world makes things by helping people of all disciplines to enhance and refine their ideas cheaply, quickly and effectively. Bentley is the latest carmaker to utilize the technology to fabricate and prototype different parts to see how they'll look and work on the finished design. Using 3D printers, designers can produce parts from the exterior and interior such as the grille, tires, headlamps and door handles as well as combine different types of contrasting materials, ranging from hard plastics to rubbers of different tensile strengths. The technology allows the user to create a solid 3D object straight from a digital model by printing layers of material on top of each other. This process rapidly decreases the delivery time, as parts can be printed overnight, and allows designers to be more creative in their ideas because of the reduced cost. Bentley isn't the first carmaker to use 3D printing technology. Audi announced last year it was beginning to prototype vehicle parts using 3D printers.
