Hi there
I hope I can find someone who knows EMD engines by heart, but of course any input or ideas are welcome, so thanks in advance
Here is the thing. I have noticed something on roots blown engines, both 567 and 645.
Some of them have "even" exhaust notes, so you can actually hear all cylinders firing, but some of them, and this is not a rare thing, have
"dominant" cylinders and make a serious chugging sound.
I've heard this problem on both 567 and 645 engines.
Here is how a "healthy" one sounds:

and here is one that "chugs" :

both are 16-cylinder EMD's
someone toled me that the problem is in the uneven adjustment of injectors/pumps during injector replacement , because some people adjust it "bye ear".
But I would like to hear more opinion.
What do you think makes some EMD engines sound like that, is it something that happens inside them after some time, or is it a mis-tune and mechanics fault, or something else
thanks a lot
