New Patented Cylinder Liner and Engine Overhaul Kits for Detroit Diesel® Series 60 from IPD

IPD is introducing its first engine overhaul products for the popular Detroit Diesel® Series 60 engine with two-piece articulated steel crown / aluminum skirt pistons. This new release utilizes the IPD patented cylinder liner with a parabolic cooling groove.

IPD is known as one of the innovators in the diesel and natural gas engine aftermarket and has a strong history of providing a full range of replacement and overhaul parts for Caterpillar® engines.

Now, as the company expands its offering to include parts for Detroit Diesel® engines, Bob Straw, IPD’s vice president of Sales and Marketing comments, “We feel this liner design utilizing our patented groove allows for the cooling necessary while maintaining the flange integrity that is needed in today’s high horsepower applications.”
Mr. Straw continues, “This is just a continuation of the innovation that IPD has invested in over many years. As an example, IPD was the first in the aftermarket with our IPDSteel® patented steel crown pistons for Caterpillar® applications as far back as six years ago, so this is a natural extension of that expertise. The Detroit Diesel® Series 60 gives IPD and our Distributors additional market opportunities and the most well rounded offering of newer model overhaul engine kits in the aftermarket.”

IPD has been manufacturing high quality diesel and natural gas components since 1955 and is ISO9001:2000 certified. IPD is a business unit of Storm Industries Inc.
