Anyone have a clue as to who made the W100 blocks for Westerbeke?
eyshulman,
I think it is a Nissan also.
I had an 82 Nissan Maxima 6cyl 5spd car. Was very noisy on a light load but got strangely quiet working at low revs.
Nice car. A female voice came on saying "lights are on" when I left them on. A very pleasant female voice. Re the car I couldn't stand the racket and sold it.
Ski,
I don't remember if my Maxima had glow plugs but my memory is a part of me that's not 100%. Sure rattled at iddle. That's a trait of direct injection isn't it? My Yanmar (DI) was like that but my Mitsu (prechamber) is considerably quieter.
A guy had a Sisu on my dock many years ago with a W100 straight six. I think it was a Mazda, but could have been a Nissan. Or Mitsubishi?? It was definitely Japanese, and a glow plug engine.
A quick net search did not give an answer.
