M.A.N. engine

Almost a year ago I bought four European engines on eBay, from Greece actually. With the help of the folks here, I identified them

I have acquired four Euro engines on eBay. I have ID'd them up to a point. Can anyone tell me the power rating of those engines?

1. Mercedes Actros (Italeri 715)
2. Mercedes OM, looks like a 502LA
3. MAN 26.321 (Italeri 756)
4. DAF 2800 (Italeri 781)

I started on the MAN . Added some plumbing. It will likely go on display in my engine shop dio.

It will be shown without a transmission. Haven't decided on the gear or a flywheel image yet.

Nice, I like what you are doing. I remember building the M.A.N. model. It is a 3axle dual drive tractor cabover.

Thanks Ronnie. Seeing that you are in Germany and may be familiar with them,  what color are MAN engines. According to the photos I could find they appear to be red.

Hi Pat, I went to a M.A.N. work shop and asked, the mechanic told me, that engines are not painted. The Oil pan is powder coated black, and the rest is plain metal, that comes out of the factory. I will continue to get more info for you.

Thanks Ronnie. I'll keep that in mind. Meanwhile, this one arrived at the shop red. Maybe it had been repainted during a previous rebuild. Any way, here it is.

Thanks guys. Just received an answer from Joachim Ketz of MAN Corporate Communications in Munich, and he more or less back up what Ronnie said above: It is siver matte with black valve covers .

 

Might be of help to those doing Italeri models.
