Leyland OE engine

Automotive Engines

The Leyland OE engine, built in OE.138 and OE.160 forms, is a diesel, pushrod overhead-valve straight-four engine that Leyland Motors redesigned from the Standard 23C after it took over Standard-Triumph in 1961. It was meant for light trucks and commercial vehicles, tractors and industrial use, and came in high-speed and low-speed versions in two sizes. The OE.138 displaced 2.3 litres and made 54 horsepower, about 40 kilowatts, net in the Leyland 2-tonner truck, later sold as the Leyland 90; the larger OE.160 of 1964 displaced 2.6 litres. It kept the 23C's replaceable cylinder liners, glow plugs and Ricardo pre-combustion chambers, and was built from 1961 until the late 1960s. In the Transport Atlas it stands as a small road diesel from Leyland's takeover of a car maker.
