Mack superdog Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Was reading about Renault and Mack and learned they made an e5 engine it said they had a mechanical pump and a head for each cylinder does anyone have any pictures of one I have never seen or heard about them Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73033-e5/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I have a engine overhaul manual on the E5 somewhere. Back at the dealership, there was a customer wanting to buy 2 RD’s but said our quote was to high and he could get them much cheaper at another dealership. Well he bought 2 new RD’s and brought them to us for low power complaints with in a month. You guessed it E5. We were like “ What the hell is a Midliner engine doing in there “.

fjh Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Wow never seen a mid liner in a rd! Seen a fare few scania engines back when scania was associated! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73033-e5/#findComment-534542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 They come up for sale every now and then. They made an E3 too but I think they have one cylinder head instead of multiple like the E5. Does anyone know what Renault called these engines? Were they a 100% Renault design with all metric or did they have some Mack in em? And wow I didn't know Mack brought over Scania engines for their own trucks. What model of engine were they labeled and sold as? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73033-e5/#findComment-534543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackpro Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Looks like it had a variable pump timing set up . The book is from 1997 so I assume this was the time frame . Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73033-e5/#findComment-534565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
