The design of the R6160 is based on the conception of better performance, low consumption, and convenient operation. The main alteration includes:   

Optimizing and improving the fuel system, intake and exhaust system, cooling system, lubrication system and starting system on the basis of original 6160 series;   

Adopting such advanced device as wet oil pan, electrical pre-supply fuel pump, electric starting motor and sea-fresh water heat exchanger;   

While inheriting strongpoint of the original 6160, the performance is improved and the fuel consumption is more lower (no more than 205g/kW.h);   

The operation is simplified: There is no need to pump oil manually while starting the engine.   

This 6160 series diesel engine, designed out of brand new conception, has reached internationally advanced position. The speed of R6160 series marine diesel engine is 1000r/min with a power range of 164kW(223hp) ~330kW(450hp). The marine engine is divided into left engine and right engine, making it convenient to operate in the same engine room. While facing the flywheel, the flywheel of the right engine rotates counterclockwise and the left engine rotates clockwise. The right engine is generally used when single engine is applied.
