gearhead204 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I think there was also a 36 series but I have never personally seen one, I don't think the 33 series was ever in a Vee configuration. Farmer should be able to answer this for positive and then theirs that bigun don't remember the # but our asphalt plant and crusher each had one to run them . its a skid mounted genset and would fill one half of a 40' dry van, they were a low rpm eng.

gearhead204 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 wasn't the 1674 the same as the 1693? the 1693 was the industrial version, and the 1674 the truck eng.

theakerstwo Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 A 1693 was a larger engine than the 1674.Both duel over head cam but the 1674 was same size in weight as 1673 which was for runner for the 3306. But was rated only at 270HP Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38247-cat-v-series-engines/#findComment-272371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 ok thanks Glenn, now that you mention it I have seen a old kw with that smaller inline 6 forgot all about it till now, I was only remembering the 3306 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38247-cat-v-series-engines/#findComment-272391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But was rated only at 270HPAlthough the 1693 was a DOHC engine, the 3406/3408 engines were its replacement. And yes the 1674 was the forerunner to the 3306. I don't remember the 1674 being DOHC.

theakerstwo Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yes the 1674 was a duel over head engine and if you have worked on them much you may remember that there was three or four bolts on the head of the rear cover below the head that would adjust the back lash in between the cam gear and crankgear at the rear.You could loosen those bolts and move the idler gear for more back lash.

Popular Post 6368 Posted December 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2014 Haven't had the pleasure of adjusting the valves yet, but i did have the 1674 powered Brockway out today. Only had four ton of coal (hope that will last till spring) on. It sure ain't big power but i guess it will get the job done. i thought i took an engine pic when i had the fenders swung out but i can't find it. 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38247-cat-v-series-engines/#findComment-272499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Not sure about the 1674 (before my time at the CAT house) but the 3306 was a bullet proof engine. Not like the early 3400 series. The late 3306 DITA truck engine was rated at 350hp. As for the 1693....a guy told me one time, remove the fuel screw from the pump and HANG ON.
