AFOURTH engine has been added to their Power-Plus range of vehicle diesel engines by Leyland Motors, Ltd. This is the 0.370 which is a six-cylindered diesel engine and has a bore of 103.38 mm. and capacity of 6.075 litres. compared with the 107.19-mm. bore and
6.54-litre capacity of the 0.400 engine to which it is otherwise physically identical. Both engines have a stroke of 120.65 mm. In effect, the differences between the 0.370 and 0.400 engines are the same as those between the two larger engines in the Power-Plus range, the 0.600 and the 0.680.
The smaller bore is the result of fitting hardened drytype cast iron cylinder liners instead of Laystall Cromard thin-wall liners as in the 0.400.
Maximum net output of the 0.370 is 110 b.h.p. at 2,400 r.p.m. and maximum net torque 272 lb. ft. at 1,600 r.p.m. Comparative figures f or the 0.400 are 125 b.h.p. and 300 lb. ft. at the same engine speeds.
