I was told that the British made BMD engines were based on the gas engine block I know that the gas engine block only has 3 main bearings and the deisel block has 5 main bearings. Why are the BMD and BWD6 engines based on the gas block. Is the gas block with 3 mains heavy enough for a high compression deisel engine? Does anyone know how well they hold up? I am very curious. Thanks.

I don`t know if the British engines were based on the US made gas engines, however they certainly do have only three main bearings. The early engines were BD264s and fitted to ,Super BMD,
Super BWD6 and B450 wheel tractors. Also the BTD6 crawler. The last BD264 engines were made in 1970. The BD281 engine was the same block with larger pistons fitted to thinner liners it was used in the B614, B634 and BTD8 . I have worked these tractors since the early 1960s and still own a BWD6 and B614. These engines are good reliable units and have amazing torque.But then International horses were always stronger than all the rest in my opinion. Hope this helps, Richard.

Hello, would you by any chance know if the starter
on a IH B-614,bd281, is the same as in B-634.
And where to find one?

Very happy for any tips or hints...
