David,

I own an AEC Valentine so not super familiar with the GM version. Definitely a single 6-71 inline two-stroke diesel (no room for two ). I'll have to check my manual to see if it mentions anything more specific. The only motors in Vals that I know of were the AEC Petrol 6 cyl, the AEC A190 diesel 6 cyl and then the GM6-71 (inline) 6 cylinder diesel (but the old style 6-71 which might be known as 6004). Some Lees and Grants and possibly Shermans had the 6046 twin 6-71 GM diesel powerpack.

http://www.mapleleafup.org/vehicles/cac/valentine.html says 6004

wwiiequipment mentions 6004 but I think the 'S Stroke' is meant to read 2 Stroke.

Regards

Alex
