Just remembered that 398 we had finally went in for overhaul at 20k hours. Still running good, just leaking oil and burning some. There's good things to say for an engine running at 1200 RPM's.

Here's a photo of the prelube pump, but according to SIS, it was only installed on the 16 cylinder engines.

Ah yes, I have been intimate with a couple of those prelube pumps on the 399's, worked sweet after being reassembled correctly. As somebody mentioned though I remember seeing somewhere some manually operated prelube pumps, don't remember where.
I've come across engines with a manual diaphragm pump for emptying the sump. Maybe that's what you're thinking of.
lantraxco, ever change oil in a 399? 110 gallons and IIRC 6 filters!!

Maybe the marine version had a smaller sump. Ours was for powering a portable crushing plant.

If you want to ship it here I might find a home for it! Just let me know when it's on the way so I can be sure wife isn't around! Wonder what it would take to convert it to diesel, don't have natural gas lines clos to here!Somebody should add it to their collection.....
12 pistons, 6 cylinder heads, maybe new camshafts, 12 injectors, the injection pump, all fuel lines, etc. just for starters, oh dear!If you want to ship it here I might find a home for it!
