Detroit Diesel 16V71 Turbo – Engine Overhaul Kit Catalog
The Detroit Diesel 16V71 turbo engine is one of the most powerful members of the legendary Series 71 family, widely used in heavy-duty marine, industrial, and power generation applications. Known for its two-stroke reliability and V16 layout, the turbocharged 16V71 delivers exceptional horsepower and torque in demanding environments.
To ensure these engines continue to run at peak performance, Diesel Pro Power offers a full range of overhaul kits, gaskets, seals, cooling system parts, and service tools. With over 40,000 satisfied customers worldwide, our catalog provides everything needed for a complete in-frame or major overhaul of the 16V71 turbocharged model.
Complete Engine Overhaul Kits for Detroit Diesel 16V71 Turbo
A complete overhaul kit is the foundation of any rebuild project. Designed specifically for the 16V71 turbo engine, these kits contain all major components necessary for restoring compression, oil control, and combustion efficiency.
Each kit typically includes:
-
Pistons and piston rings (matched for turbocharged applications)
-
Cylinder liners and liner seals
-
Connecting rod bearings and main bearings
-
Thrust washers
-
Full gasket sets for top and bottom ends
-
Hardware, pins, retainers, and seals
The intercooled turbo version of the 16V71 benefits from enhanced airflow and cooler intake temperatures, which improves durability and allows higher power ratings. Rebuild kits are engineered to withstand the additional stress and heat loads associated with forced induction.
Cylinder Liners and Installation Tools
The 16V71 turbo engine relies on replaceable cylinder liners, which must be installed correctly for proper sealing and long service life. Our catalog includes:
Standard and Oversize Liner Inserts
-
Standard liner inserts for factory-fit cylinder sleeves.
-
Oversize inserts (.010 to .030) to accommodate machining or worn liner bores.
Liner Shims
-
Precision shims for correct liner protrusion.
-
Available in multiple thicknesses, such as .002”, ensuring the liner seats firmly against the cylinder block.
Cylinder Liner Pullers
-
Essential tool for removing worn liners without damaging the block.
-
Designed for all Series 71 models, including the 16V71 turbocharged engine.
By combining new liners with correct shimming and installation tools, technicians can achieve proper combustion chamber sealing, reducing blow-by and oil contamination.
Piston Rings and Installation Tools
The piston assembly is subjected to high pressures in turbocharged engines. To manage this stress, piston rings must be correctly installed with proper compression.
-
Piston Ring Compressors: Specialized tool to compress piston rings for insertion into the liner. Compatible with all V71 configurations, including 12V and 16V engines.
-
Piston Ring Assembly Tools: Prevents ring breakage and ensures even installation.
These tools save time during overhaul and reduce the chance of piston ring failure due to improper fitment.
Gasket Sets and Sealing Components
A complete overhaul gasket kit is critical for reassembly. The Detroit Diesel 16V71 turbo gasket sets are tailored for both the top and bottom end, preventing leaks in high-pressure environments.
Overhaul Gasket Kit
-
Full set covering cylinder heads, intake, exhaust, oil pan, timing covers, and other critical sealing surfaces.
-
Designed for turbocharged engines to withstand higher exhaust gas temperatures.
Inspection Cover Gaskets
-
Used when removing side covers for inspection or maintenance.
Thermostat Seals and Miscellaneous Gaskets
-
Ensures coolant containment and proper thermostat function.
-
Covers smaller sealing areas around coolant passages and housings.
By replacing every gasket during overhaul, operators eliminate weak points where oil, fuel, or coolant leaks could develop.
Crankshaft Seals and Sleeves
The crankshaft seals on the Detroit Diesel 16V71 turbo must handle significant rotational forces.
Standard and Oversize Seals
-
Available in both front and rear applications.
-
Single and double lip options to prevent oil leakage.
-
Oversize seals paired with sleeves allow reuse of slightly worn crankshaft surfaces.
Crankshaft Seal Sleeves
-
Reinforcement for oversize seals.
-
Provides a new sealing surface without costly crankshaft replacement.
Correct sealing prevents oil loss, protects bearings, and ensures long-term reliability.
Oil System Components
The lubrication system of the 16V71 turbo engine is vital for bearing protection, turbocharger health, and piston cooling.
Oil Filters
-
Available in spin-on and cartridge types.
-
Premium filtration ensures removal of contaminants from high-pressure oil flow.
Oil Filter Removal Tools
-
Adjustable wrenches to fit Detroit Diesel, Cummins, and Caterpillar filters.
-
Prevents filter housing damage during removal.
Proper oil filtration prevents accelerated wear, extending the life of pistons, liners, and turbochargers.
Cooling System Components
Turbocharged engines generate significantly more heat than naturally aspirated models. The cooling system must function flawlessly to prevent overheating.
Thermostats
-
Offered in multiple temperature ratings: 160°F, 170°F, and 180°F.
-
Ensures coolant flow adjusts properly to maintain stable engine temperature.
Radiator Cleaners
-
Specialized cleaning solution for diesel radiators.
-
Helps remove scale and deposits, improving heat transfer efficiency.
Block Heaters
-
Electric heaters designed for V71 and V92 engines.
-
Keeps coolant warm in cold climates, ensuring easier starts and reduced wear.
Maintaining correct operating temperature is especially critical in marine environments, where prolonged high-load operation can quickly reveal cooling system weaknesses.
Fuel and Air System Service Tools
The Detroit Diesel 16V71 turbo depends on precise fueling and clean airflow. To maintain performance:
-
Tune-Up Kits: Complete kits with gauges and fixtures for valve, injector, and governor adjustments.
-
Temperature Switches: Monitors coolant temperature, triggers alarms at 205°F.
-
Inspection Tools: Assist in routine checks of cylinder and fuel system integrity.
Regular tune-ups prevent fuel consumption increases and loss of turbocharger efficiency.
Paint, Finishing, and Appearance
Beyond functionality, maintaining the original look of your Detroit Diesel engine is also possible with OEM-style paints and primers.
-
Detroit Green Engine Paint: Matches the traditional factory finish.
-
Engine Primer: Ensures paint adhesion and corrosion protection.
A properly refinished engine not only looks professional but also resists corrosion in marine and industrial settings.
Instrumentation and Monitoring
Monitoring engine performance is just as important as rebuilding it. Our catalog includes:
-
Mechanical Gauges: Simple, durable, and reliable in any condition.
-
Electric Gauges (12V and 24V): Suitable for different electrical systems.
-
