Other Slow Speed Diesels / Re: Arrow Engine?

Hi I am interested in the Witte diesel.
Back it the 70's I met with a guy in Socorro, New Mexico. He made a business of putting together Power plants for ranches in Mexico and Sout America. He used the Witte engine and the Blackstone diesel engines. I don't know the models he used. He liked the Blackstone better than the Witte. The Witte engine would develop cracks in the heads between the valves?I'm not sure now.
He claimed the blackstone single cylinder would run 10 years and only need a top overhaul, another 10 yrs and then a complete Overhaul!! I would REALLY like to have a Blackstone, but they are hard to find.
I sent a PM to the guy who said he had a PDF file about the Witte diesel engine. I would like that file.
