I have a 2.5 L 4 cylinder Diesel fitted to my boat. It only has 1 heater plug in the inlet manifold. Can anyone tell me what year this is or what it came out of.
Thanks for any replys

What boat is it in?
Sounds like it may be a Transit Direct Injection engine

It's in a Nauticus 27' I think it is a transit all right but want to narrow it down so as I can get a manual for it. It is an old one all right. When did ford bring out the 2.5?

Are you sure its a Ford 2.5, Nauticus 27's had BMC 1.5's mostly, that would be very overpowered with 2.5 lump in it.

I think the 2.5 DI Came out in the eighties, before that there was an older transit engine maybe "4d".
Have you got a photo of it you could put on here?

possibly a york diesel.
the heater in the manifold is a thermostart, like wot them perkins got.
you need the engine code, go to your local motor factors, they'll give you the gen.
of if you're lucky, pop into your nearest ford commercial garage, they'll probably let you borrow a manual.
what are you doing on the motor that requires a manual?
bloody bulletproof lump!

Sounds more likely to be a Watamota Sea Panther.
(1.6 Ford Crossflow diesel). Usually painted Orange.

Get a picture posted up for a certain identification
From your description though, it sounds like the Ford DI engine or Ford York, both around 2.5 litres.
It wouldn't be a 4D, there quite a bit bigger than 2.5 litres! The other smaller ford diesels have one glowplug per pot. The sea panther had no glow plugs at all. I'd say its most likeley to be the 2.4litre York Engine.

Wasn't the York an upright engine whereas the 2.5Di was sort of canted over a bit, to reduce the height? That would distinguish the two.

Sorry I was missing for a few days. Turns out it is a york. Now the sad news. Last sunday it lost oil pressure. Turned out to be a blocked oil filter. I should have changed it when I bought the boat in march, but the guy said all should be well till next year!!??
I changed the filter and it started up, but it is very noisiy. If I was to change the engine, what would you guys suggest I put in it's place??
Thanks for all the replys.

2.5 DI shopuld go straight in, but go for the one with the big injectors, the pencil injector type are a bit noisy.
alternatively, pull the york out and bang a set of shells in it.. cheap and easy, you probably won't have to do anything to the crank, but an inspection first will identify any obvious problems.
