chris88 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 How are these engines? I dont see much on them. Are they reliable? How about power? The truck im buying has the 711 in it and i was just wonderin how they are. It was rebuilt before it was parked so it should be tight. Is there anything i should do before i fire it up? Its been settin about 8 years since its been started. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1702-end-711/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerne tractor Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 END711 211 hp 602 lbs torque about the same specs as a early DT466 in the Internationals. Looks like the 711 is using cubic inch for power rather then a turbo like the DT. What year and model is it in? I would drain the fuel, change the fuel filter, drain and change the oil. Crank it over with the fuel shut off to pump oil through the engine. Look for mouse nests in any intake,exhaust.

Superdog Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 alot of 711's had head gasket trouble,I've ran 2,and they both gave no problems.I think alot of it depended on how much fuel you were pouring to them.

chris88 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Its in a 64 B 61. I dont plan on working it hard or messin with the pump at all. Just a play truck to pull a trailer everynow and then. They typically run pretty good and start good though? I just want to know as much about the engine before i get it so nothing phases me.ThanksChris Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1702-end-711/#findComment-8398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
