    Commer knockers are two stroke diesel, with two crank shafts and the pistons fire against each other, bit like a flat four but with the pistons running in the opposite direction. Two stroke diesels need the super charger to run. They put a GM two stroke to shame when it comes to the "screaming" part lol! Our neighbour had one and you could hear it about 5km away when it was pulling a load out of the paddock.

    Yeap you have got to love the sound of a 2 stroke diesel, i tried to talk my oldman into putting an 8v-92 into our old boat but he went for a 6bt cummins, mind you still sounds nice espiecally when the turbo kicks in.

    I started collecting them when I was 17. Got a good collection of them with an old uncle. (about 30 altogether) Got shafted big time when he passed away. His son in law claimed most of them. I managed to keep 9 of them. I've got a 1920's 2 stroke Sunshine. Made in Sunshine in Victoria. 2 HP and weighs about 60 kilos.

    Cool. I have a cooper engine in bits here, would be repairable, which you can have if you ever come past this way.
