The head is cast aluminum for the gasoline engines and cast iron for the diesels, with a cross flow port design incorporating six head bolts per cylinder and press fit replaceable valve seats. The DM series engines are all four-stroke, three-cylinder overhead valve engines that feature cast iron cylinder blocks, with cast-in wet cylinder liners. This flexibility has proven to be extremely popular in the turf and industrial equipment markets, as they allow manufacturers to offer virtually the same machine configuration with any fuel type required.
This allows the equipment manufacturer to develop diesel or gaseous-fueled versions of the same machine, without a lot of re-engineering of the equipment.
Ltd., Osaka, Japan, interchangeability has been one of the hallmarks of the engines, as diesel, gasoline and LPG versions of the DM700 and DM950 engines all feature the same dimensions. From the inception of the joint venture engine program between Briggs & Stratton, Milwaukee, Wis., and Daihatsu Motor Co. "The 950DT will match the output of the 950cc gasoline engine, completing the perfect interchangeability, not only in size and envelope, but also in power and torque," noted Paul Farny, general manager of Briggs & Stratton Daihatsu. The new DM950DT engine, introduced at the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute's Expo '99 in Louisville, is rated 31 gross hp at 3600 rpm, with peak torque of 51 ft.lb, at 2400 rpm. New turbocharged diesel from Briggs & Stratton DaihatsuĬontinuing the evolution of its line of small water-cooled engines, Briggs & Stratton Daihatsu has introduced a turbocharged version of its DM950 diesel.
