Help Choosing an Alternator For Your Generator
there are two main types: two-bearing and single-bearing. The main difference between the two is the number of bearings that support the rotor shaft. A single-bearing generator head has a bearing supporting one end of the rotor shaft. The engine supports the other end of the shaft when it is directly connected to the flywheel. There is an industry-standard to identify the different sizes of flywheels and mounting (bell) housings. They are referred to as SAE sizes.

Understanding and Preventing Glazing and Carbon Buildup in Diesel Engines
Understanding and Preventing Glazing and Carbon Buildup in Diesel Engines
As a diesel mechanic, I often see issues with engines that are a direct result of misapplication or misuse. Two common problems that arise are internal glazing and carbon buildup. These issues are particularly prevalent in generator sets and are primarily caused by failing to follow proper application and operating guidelines.
