Hi!

What is this engin?  Can you give hints of the reference images.

I've heard that it is a Cummins NTC 400

Yes, that what I think also.

Thanks to all of you. I did not recognize the engine by means of images.

I think your all wrong with all due respect, That engine is a CATERPILLAR 3406-A model. See the long fuel pump shaft that extends from the camshaft/pump drive gears to the fuel pump? Paint it white instead of CAT yellow and you'll have yourself a marine application A model.

Please don't say its a Marcedes Benz

Whoops my mistake was thinking of the heritage ws kit that's Italerie's idea of N14 Cummins.

Hi!

 

Here is a picture from the other side.

To my knowledge Italeri has never done any Cat engine, for US trucks the engines are Cummins NTC 400 (even tho' they wants us to believe it's a N14 sometimes) or Detroit Diesel Series 60, and this is the Cummins.

It's a Cummins because it has three heads where as a cat 3406A only has two heads.

[Force]

Yes but the Cat 3406A, B and C has one long cylinder head for all six cylinders with two valve covers, and the 3406 got three valve covers with the E model, same as the C15.
The Cummins 855 series NHC, NTA,  NTC, N14 has three cylinder heads (one cylinder head per two cylinders) and three valve covers.

Your right. I messed up. I should have said valve covers instead.

[vekasiini]

Hi!

Thanks, It,s NTC-400. Location major components.

No it's a poorly done n14 Italeri attempted to convert their big cam to an n14. There is no aftercooler as the n14 is intercooled and the valve covers are inaccurate. But is a Cummins.
