Eby (former Technical Writer, General Motors Corp.), published by the International Correspondence Schools, Scranton, Pennsylvania, 1945. Reproduced by Nation Builder Books, Mebane, NC, 2010, 5½ x 8½ photocopied booklet, 66 pages. Please note this is a new photoduplicated reproduction, not an original. How can a left-hand water pump replace a right-hand water pump? If an engine is run with a noisy lash adjustor, what will result? What are the indications of a cracked piston? How is the two-piece piston constructed? How can you test the action of an injector at the work bench? What are the three causes of troubles with blowers? What is the purpose of the deep slot in the head of the compensating screw at the side of the governor? What two purposes does the scavenging air perform, and how is it given a rotary motion? How does the overspeed trip act to prevent fuel injection when the engine speed becomes too high? What happens if the lubricating oil delivered by the scavenging pump is cold and will not flow through the core of the oil cooler? What are the limits of lubricating-oil pressure at 800 rpm? If you can answer all these questions, maybe you don’t need these two books. But if you’re of the growing number of live railroad enthusiasts or model engineers looking for information to help you operate, or design and build an engine, then you will love these books. And be sure to look for our two dozen other reproduced books from the ICS series on steam railroading as taught and practiced in the 1930s and 1940s. The EMD 567 is a line of diesel engines built by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division, and used in EMD's locomotives from 1938 until the engine’s replacement in 1966 by the EMD 645. The 567 engine, which succeeded Winton's 201-A, has a bore of 8.5 in (220 mm), a stroke of 10 in (250 mm) and a displacement of 567 in³ (9.29 L) per cylinder. Like the 201-A, the EMD 645 and the EMD 710, the EMD 567 is a two-stroke cycle engine. It is a V engine with an angle of 45° between cylinder banks. The following is from a 1938 EMC advertisement. The GM Diesel is a rugged and compact, uniflow, two-cycle, solid-injection engine. With every down stroke a power stroke, the engine is capable of rapid and smooth acceleration, so very essential in railway service. The cylinders are arranged in two banks forming a 45-deg. Vee and are combined in one unit with the crankcase by welded steel construction, combining light weight and exceptional strength. Cylinder liners are heat treated cast iron, ground to a mirror finish on the inside. The liners are double-walled with cooling water space between and with transverse air-intake ports opening into an air box which forms a part of the crankcase. Cylinder heads are bolted to the liners independently of the studs which hold the assembly in the blocks. Pistons are pearlitic malleable iron with the head recessed at the top to form part of the combustion chamber and help create turbulence during fuel injection, deeply ribbed on the underside for strength and to provide additional cooling. Pistons are oil cooled by an oil spray through a separate pump provided for this purpose. Pressure lubrication is supplied to all important points and the oil is properly conditioned by passing through filters and cooler. Connecting rods are drop forgings of fork and plain rod construction to eliminate cylinder offset and improve bearing conditions. The two-cycle principle permits a simple cap design, allowing removal through the cylinder liners of connecting rods with a large crankpin diameter. The carbon steel crankshaft is drop forged with electro-hardened journals, permitting the use of copper alloy crankpin bearings and special babbitt main bearings. All bearings are precision made, eliminating hand fittings. The Unit Fuel Injection System employed is a principal and patented feature of GM Diesels. Each cylinder is fitted with an individual injector unit which constitutes an independent and complete injection system operated from the overhead camshaft. Complete and accurate control of the fuel injection, timing, and atomization, combined with complete blower scavenging, result in high efficiency, clear exhaust and smooth operation.
