Info about Nissan Chrysler SD22

[Jay]

Hello, I have a diesel motor on my boat, the valve cover is stamped sd22 Nissan Chrysler and says it is 48hp, would appreciate any information on this engine?

Information is not much.. It is the marine version of the Nissan SD22. Internally it is the same engine, but the manifolds are different and marine version has a direct coupled mechanical governor.

After research, I’m gathering that Nissan didn’t make a 48hp diesel, it sounds like they made a 48hp gas, and nissan diesel engines generate 60 to 70 hp engines, I’m thinking maybe the original valve cover was lost or misplaced, so someone put a gas Nissan engine valve cover on it. Can this be a possibilty??? I’d like to know what engine it is, so I can get it running, with new or rebuilt injector or possibly get injector pump replaced or rebuilt..

I have a marine version of Nissan sd22, Type 14 E, serial number 404326. I need a Water cooled exhaust tank/manifold. Can anyone put me in contact with someone having one or a company still making one. My present location is Penang, Malaysia.

I can answer my own question. Manifold was manufactured by Thompson Foundry Ltd. Surrey, B.C. Canada. They still have them in stock for both sd22 and sd33 engines. Contact 1 604 596 9611 or [email protected].
