From Preston Cook: The 567C Engines The 567C introduced a completely new crankcase with round handhole covers, that eliminated the water deck feature of the earlier engines and used a water manifold in the air box with jumpers to distribute coolant to the cylinder liners. It was produced in 2, 6, 8, 12 and 16 cylinder versions. The 567C engines are very versatile and durable engines, and most of the service parts are still readily available. The most significant concern in the long run is that there will be diminishing availability and increasing price of 567C cylinder liners and pistons. It is possible to use 645 cylinder power assembly components in a 567C engine, this required changing the camshaft counterweights. The change must be done in complete engine sets or there will be significant vibration problems. If a 567C engine has been upgraded to 645 power assembly components, it is likely to be a viable engine to operate for many years into the future. The considerations for the 567D1 (roots blower) engine used in the GP18, GP28, SD18, SD28, RS1325, and late production FL9 locomotives are generally the same as for the 567C. This change was made when Amtrak rebuilt the engines. In addition these E's have a 2500 gallon fuel tank & D77 traction motors. I was lucky enuff to work on 2 other ex-PRR E's that went thru the same program:  |
