XML FeedsFord Lehman Marine Diesel engine stuff
By mark on Feb 21, 2009 | In News, Fixing stuff | 96 feedbacks »
Had a few emails over the last month or 2 from folks that have googled upon us with a similar Ford lehman engine to ours, ours is the Lehman 2715e.
so thought it it might be useful to stick on or 2 bits on here and let google do its stuff for anyone else in the same boat (ho ho!) as us
had a couple of enquiries about starter motors. First off, avoid anyone company that has the word marine in it! Find an Auto Electrical distributor, and ask for a Lucas starter motor for a ford lehman 2715e. the lucas part number is Lucas 77121A 12V. The mariney type chaps wanted anything up to £500 for one, the auto electrical type chaps charged us £100 or so. Other engine bits, like the oil pressure sender are bog standard units, pretty much any 12v oil pressure sender will work. The temperature sender that screws into the cylinder ehad has the following numbers on it: 23B8, BM1, and 41953 in case anyone eneds to go down that particular avenue, and the alternator that is fitted to ours is another standard Lucas part - A376, which also happens to be the same alternator that was fitted to Ford Fiestas up to the Mk3 version. Hopefully that little lot might help someone somewhere
And finally, if anyone needs a manual for the borg warner velvet drive, or the Ford Lehman 2715e engine, or part numbers for the engine, I've stuck some PDF's I found up on here:
Borg Warner Velvet Drive Gearbox Manual
Ford Lehman 2710 2715 manual & parts lists
Ford Lehman 2710 2715 owners manual
might be worth bookmarking this blog post, I'll probably added a few more bits of useful stuff and as and when I stumble upon it. As much for my addled memory as anything else!
/****
just another wee note, for major engine components check out Ford Cargo 6D engines, and New Holland Combine harvesters
update, October 2009:
just added a marinisation pdf, how to marinise an engine, particularly ford diesel:
Marinising the Ford Lehman 2700 - 2715 series of Diesel engines
and just found the parts list:
Ford Lehman 2700 complete parts list & manual
will be giving her an overhaul and service shortly so will list the part numbers or equivalent part number and supplier for all the necessary bit n pieces, oil filter, fuel filter, injectors, sensors and so

Update October 2010...
Another wee addition to the Ford Lehman manual collection courtesy of Benjamin, I'd hope there'll be plenty of good karma heading his way from all the folks out there that have been looking for this.
This is the Ford Lehman 2700 Series Service Manual. 358 pages, its the full workshop service manual for the 2701E, 2703E. 2704E, 2701C, 2703C, 2704E, 2711E, 2712E, 2713E, 2714E, 2715E, 2704ET Turbo and 2704 ET Turbo Plus Engines.
its a fairly big file to download (35Mb) click the link to download it
Ford Lehman 2700 Series Service Manual
and just remembered.....
another couple of Ford Lehamn Manuals I'd forgotten to share!
Ford Lehman 2700 Series Service Manual
the first is a parts list for the Ford Lehman base engine:
Ford Lehman 2700 Series Parts list
the second is the Marinised Parts list:
Ford Lehman 2700 Series marinised Parts list
and not only that...
I recently found an installation manual for Borg Warner Velvetdrive and and Borg Warner Service manual too!
Borg Warner Velvet Drive Installation Manual
Borg Warner Velvet Drive Service Manual
Going to be starting a Full service of the engine shortly, so have a few common alternative part numbers that might be useful, oil filters, fuel filters and the like
/** Christmas 2010 **/
its fecking freezing, everything is buried in snow so I'm doing bugger all except trying to drink my own body weight in advocaat (well it is christmas after all!)

hi greg, there's one on ebay at the moment - item number 120439535694
I believe the block/head is the same as was used in the ford cargo 6D trucks here in the uk and also in New Holland combine harvesters as well

I live on the west coast of Canada and am looking into buying an 36 ft. old Taiwanese trawler with a older Lehman engine (5000+ hours use). I wonder how they mostly fail from use. i.e. what gives out in the engine? Is it the cylinders and bearings or stuff in the head? If it were the latter, one could presumably do a less costly head rebuild and not have to pull the whole engine for machining etc. P.S. Thanks for the manuals - very useful.

Hi, just found this site, very interesting and helpfull. I have a 36ft motorboat with a 6d 120hp/borgwarner fitted. Just been out to her and found I'd left the water intake on and this has filled the engine, god what a bad day I'm having. Hope to be able to empty the sump and be OK??? Very usefull the PDF wokshop manual.

Comment from: mark [Member]
water in the engine?? If its water that has just got in the sump from the breather or dipstick probably be alright, change the oil straight away though
you might find you got water in the gearbox as well if its been that far under water - we're borgwarner boxed and our little flooding incident a few weeks ago filled the gearbox as well
there's a link to a marinisation article up the top for the ford lehman as well:

looking for some kind of an idea of how many hours a lehman 85 hp marine diesel should be expected to run?the boat is 27 years old.I assume that to be the age of the diesel.also assume it has been taken proper care or ..(maintence wise).any realistic coment from expience greatly appreciated

bit of a how long's a piece of string question that one!
I had heard 5000 hours between major rebuilds, suppose it'show the thing has been used and/or abused in its life thats the key.
if its any help, ours is an early 70's motor, no obvious scars to suggest its ever been in bits (all the bolt heads etc are still flat and true), so I reckon ours has had nothing more than the normal servicing when needed. Pansy used to have a Kelvin K3, and whilst it would be lovely to still have it, the fact that ford parts are cheap as chips, and they are pretty reliable workhorses, makes it worthwhile.

Hello, we have a 2715E in our lobster boat and last day during haulout the "cold start" button on the side of the fuel lever did not click into it's usual spot. Is this a linkage issue or is there something internal that needs to be looked at. If it is in fact a cold start button it doesn't work like it has in the past. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Ray

Comment from: mark [Member]
hi ray,
for what its worth I'm sure the cold start button has ever done much on ours either. Its not really a cold start do much as an excess fuel device that sticks extra fuel in to up the compression and help it start. on ours it moves but has little effect on cold starting. Have just discovered there's a heater system that can be fitted to the inlet manifold which makes life much easier. Will dig out the details, its just a few quids worth/bucks worth of bits

hello All nutters, am just rebuilding the ford 380 in my working boat conversion, and found enginefixuk (ebay seller) a good source for parts, i've had my crank reground and am replacing main and big end shells,rings and obviously all gaskets, found i got the parts required for upto half the cost of my early quotes using good old ebay (tigger1590 for gaskets) though as yet i'm struggling to find decent price for a damper plate (i have a 2:1 velvet drive box) if anyone has any suggestions? would be appreciated, cheers,

Hi all,
does anyone have a contact for a reputable rebuilder in the UK? We have a 2712e in our narrow boat that cr*pped itself & I have to decide whether to rebuild or replace with a different engine. I did a Google search & found a lot of listings pointing to someone in Portsmouth offering rebuilt service exchange engines but they all link to a boatsandoutboards.co.uk website, which seems to be inaccessible. Although a new replacement engine won't be a lot more expensive, and we can happily downsize (as an 80HP engine in a narrow boat is somewhat overkill), there are a lot of other things that will need to be changed with a new engine.
We're currently in NZ until May so doing the job myself is not really an option as we have a strong preference for getting it sorted before we return. I'd like to make a decision in the next few weeks so any advice/suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers,
Allan

Thanks Mark, after a bit of research, unfortunately I have decided to ditch the Ford & replace it with a brand new (but smaller & more practical) engine. Ultimately it will actually be quite a lot cheaper and easier although I still have disassemble the Ford as the only way it's going to come out is in bits!

For the tank and filler neck a used one would be fine. Anybody have one on a junk engine they would be willing to sell? What would be the best source for the other stuff in the USA? NAPA?
Thanks for the effort on this site. Great resource.

The guys at NAPA could not cross reference the numbers from those sheets with anything that made sense. American Diesel has everything so I will go with them. The only things that were really pricey was the water pump and full gasket kit. Still not way out of line with regular car and truck stuff that I buy. I guess we need to keep these guys in business so they are there for the esoteric stuff when we need it.
Has anyone tried to replace the aft crankshaft seal without loosening the main bearing caps for a little working room? When I was a kid I did it on a Buick straight eight and it worked ok. I think I would have room to do it that way by just lifting the aft end of the engine if I don't need to get at the main bearing caps. If I need to get at the bearing caps I will need to lift the whole engine and get it on it's side. Much bigger job but better that than get all done and have it still leaking oil....
Good Site, It is very help full.

Hi all, saw a query from a guy looking for crankshaft seal. There is a co. in Glasgow called "pistons and components"who were always 1st class at sourcing difficult/old stuff like that. Not sure of their present address, they were in Gt Western road, but i think they may have moved. Parts were always much cheaper than the marine highwaymens prices.
On the earlier subject of the cold start button on the injector pump not going in or staying in. If the stop control is not fully released before pressing the button, it wont allow the rack to move into the excess fuel position. In cold weather its always a good idea to press the button when the engine is stopped warm. It makes ahuge difference to the cold starting, especially on older engines.

I have down loaded manual, much appreciated thanks. I am having a problem with our 2712e. I have removed the injector pump and had it serviced but I didn't position the marks before removing it, I have found the timing mark on the pump but can not find any marks around the crankshaft pully. Does anyone know where the crank should be set in degrees before TDC to match the pump mark.
Thanks, Warwick...

Hi, I'm wanting to fit a calorifier to my 120hp 6 cylinder Ford Lehman. Does anyone know where I can get a kit from, it says in the manual that Lehman supplied one. If not, does anyone know where I tap into the engine for the hot water feed and return to the calorifier?
Many thanks, Jean
Many thanks, Jean

hi y all
I well be pleased if anyone would help my. my 2701E engine have a big hull in the side I´m not sure whats its call in english but the rod thats hold the cylinder is broken. so my question is have had the 2701e similar to other ford engines, I can't find any 2701e here in Denmark so maybe a other engine can fit to the ration-gear, water-cooler and so on

guess you mean the con-rod??
a lot of 2700 engines started live as standard Ford industrial engines, check out ford cargo 4D and 6D truck engines for some parts

both 2701 and 2711 and 2712 are in http://bf494.co.uk/assets/Ford_2700_Range_Diesel_Engine_Workshop_Manual.pdf
2701 is 3964cc (242 cu in) and the 2711 and 2712 are 4150cc (254 cu in)
so the 2701 is a smaller engine, bore is 105mm stroke 115mm
2711 and 2712 bore is 107mm stroke 115mm
maybe the 2701 just as a bigger cylinder liner?? a lot of the other parts look to be the same though, with same part numbers

Have found this site to be brillant. have a 2711e engine in my boat. At the end of last summer the exaust manifold broke Ihad it welded up but after putting back I seem to have misplaced two things (I think that they got put out with the rubbish) one is the dipstick and the other is the water cap for the bowman heat exchanger. I think that the cap may be a standard type but i dont know the pressure setting. Anyone know where I would get a dipstick. I am in Ireland and cannot find many of these engines. Thanks Padraig

I'll check the pressure on our cap. should be there this week. If you can't find a dipstick, I'll see what I can do - we should be getting a full engine for spares shortly so might have a spare one you can have

to anyone out there. If somebody can measure from the seat of the dipstick (where the dipstick sits on the engine) of a 2711E to the hi and lo level I would be very greatful. thank you

I have just installed a 1715e in my boat.
I had the Injector pump reconditioned before I installed the engine.
The Engine is blowing white smoke can anybody help with what can be the cause.
I am pretty sure no water is getting into the cylinders.

Hi everyone,
I've got a 2714E in my boat but the serial number tag is missing. Any idea about how I can get this engine identified from Ford Lehman? By the way this website is excellent!!

Thanks for a very informative, interesting site.
I have just had the 4-cylinder 2700 series diesel (2700E-6015-B on block, 2700E-6450-B on tappet cover) in my boat rebuilt and would like some advice about the oil I should use after running in. Prior to me purchasing the boat and up until the rebuild it was using BP Vanellus C3 Mono 30. Someone has recommended Morris Golden Film SAE30. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Hi! I have two engines 2725E in my workshop that need to be rebuild. Problem is that in my country (Croatia) there's no one selling parts for these engines. Does anyone know where can I get parts like gasket set, piston rings, bearings etc.
