Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo (4 Valve Head Type) – Injector Catalog

The Detroit Diesel 6-71 is one of the most iconic two-stroke diesel engines in history, widely used in marine, industrial, and heavy-duty vehicle applications for decades. Known for its reliability, rugged construction, and distinctive sound, the 6-71 was produced in both turbocharged and naturally aspirated versions. The non-turbo 4-valve head variant delivers exceptional airflow and combustion efficiency compared to older 2-valve designs, making it a preferred choice for many operators.

At the heart of this engine’s performance is the injector system. The injectors ensure precise fuel delivery, atomization, and timing, all of which are crucial for smooth combustion and maximum power output. This catalog is designed to provide operators, mechanics, and fleet managers with a comprehensive reference of injectors, timing tools, service kits, and related components specific to the Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo 4V engine.


Why Fuel Injectors Matter in the 6-71 Non-Turbo

The 6-71 uses unit injectors that are mechanically actuated by the camshaft. These injectors control both the amount of fuel delivered and the pressure at which it enters the combustion chamber. Over time, wear in the injector tip, plunger, or spring assembly can lead to reduced performance, higher fuel consumption, or uneven cylinder operation.

Maintaining the injector system on a 6-71 is critical for:

  • Consistent Power Delivery – Properly calibrated injectors ensure each cylinder produces equal power.

  • Fuel Efficiency – Worn injectors lead to wasted fuel and higher operating costs.

  • Reduced Emissions – Clean combustion minimizes smoke and environmental impact.

  • Longer Engine Life – Balanced fuel delivery reduces stress on pistons, liners, and bearings.


Rebuilt Injectors for Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo (4V)

Each rebuilt injector offered by Diesel Pro Power undergoes a rigorous process: disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, plunger and barrel inspection, replacement of worn parts, recalibration, and final bench testing. Operators can trust that these injectors will perform to factory standards, ensuring reliability under the harshest conditions.

N55 Injector for Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo (4V)

The N55 injector is ideal for applications requiring dependable performance at moderate horsepower. Often selected for steady-load marine engines or industrial generators, the N55 provides balanced fuel delivery, smooth idle, and long service intervals.

N60 Injector for Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo (4V)

The N60 is a versatile option that supports slightly higher horsepower while maintaining efficiency. It is commonly chosen by operators running workboats, trawlers, or stationary power units where consistent torque is essential.

N65 Injector for Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo (4V)

The N65 strikes a balance between power and economy. Popular in construction equipment, buses, and marine propulsion systems, it allows the 6-71 to achieve dependable mid-range horsepower without compromising on reliability.

N70 Injector for Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo (4V)

The N70 is one of the most frequently used injectors in the 6-71 series. It provides increased fuel delivery for applications requiring higher horsepower, such as fishing vessels or larger industrial equipment. When paired with proper governor adjustments, it helps unlock more output while maintaining durability.

N75 Injector for Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo (4V)

The N75 injector offers additional fueling capacity for heavy-duty workloads. Operators running dredges, barges, or heavy trucks often select the N75 to meet demanding power requirements without overstressing the engine.

N80 Injector for Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo (4V)

The N80 delivers a stronger fueling curve suitable for high-load applications. While it increases horsepower potential, it is best used where cooling and airflow are optimized to handle the additional fuel.

N90 Injector for Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo (4V)

The N90 is the most aggressive option in this lineup, delivering maximum fuel for performance-oriented setups. Operators must ensure proper cooling and engine condition when selecting this injector, as it significantly increases output.


Injector Timing Tools for Detroit Diesel 6-71 Non-Turbo

Correct injector timing is as important as injector calibration. Diesel Pro Power offers a complete selection of timing tools designed for Detroit Diesel 71 Series engines. Each tool ensures precise injector rack adjustment and synchronization across all cylinders.

By using the correct timing tool, mechanics can set injectors accurately, improving combustion efficiency and preventing uneven cylinder operation.


Fuel Pipe Connectors, Jumpers, and Lines

To function properly, injectors rely on secure fuel delivery lines. Diesel Pro Power supplies connectors, washers, and jumper lines specifically designed for the Detroit Diesel 71 Series.

  • Fuel Pipe Connectors – Secure the injector to the fuel system and prevent leaks under pressure.

  • Washers for Fuel Pipe Connectors – Installed in pairs for each injector, ensuring a tight, leak-free seal.

  • Fuel Jumper Lines (Short & Long) – Each engine uses a combination of short and long lines to connect injectors in sequence, maintaining uninterrupted fuel flow across the cylinder bank.


Tools and Service Kits

Maintaining 6-71 injectors requires specialized tools and replacement hardware. Diesel Pro Power carries a full range of these essential items:


Injector Tips and Plungers

The injector tip controls atomization, while the plunger regulates fuel delivery pressure. Worn tips or plungers cause misfires, excessive smoke, or fuel dilution. Diesel Pro Power offers new tips and plungers for all injector sizes:

  • Injector Tips – Available for N55, N60, N65, N70, N75, N80, and N90 injectors. Each tip is precision-machined for proper spray patterns.
