identifying Volvo engines

[gordmac]

A friend recently bought a rib made about 1984 fitted with a six cylinder Volvo turbo engine. I have been trying to figure out which one but can't find any plates on it. Any suggestions where to look or what it is?

Looks like a TAMD 60,

Engine number will be either on the block infront of oil filters or on block above fuel pump.

an unusual engine for a rib, tell us more about the rib, is it jet drive?

 

[gordmac]

Thanks, next time I see it I will have an idea where to look.
It is about 8m aluminium, ex rig rescue boat. It does have a jet drive. Seems to sit about 20kn (no instrumentation yet) in pretty well anything, not terribly uncomfortable either. Impressive boat.

Standard TAMD 60 I believe....

If its in a rib its probably an outdrive so a 40 series?

41 or 42 ?

 

[volvopaul]

Many years back volvo made a huge outdrive leg, id say its married to that or a jet drive of some make, its def not a 41 series engine for sure.

OP confirmed ... Alloy, ex MOB vessel, connected to Waterjet.... and I'll bet it's a TAMD 60 ...

Thanks for the input, not sure when I will get to look at the engine. It is not that far as the crow flies but quite far by road (and ferry).

Finally got back to it. Thanks to all contributors, it is a TAMD60C. I am a little confused about the output and maximum revs though, there seems to be a bit of a range given.

Late reply .... Typical me allways late !!

Look identical to my TAMD60Cs, and if 1984 the year will be about right.
