2 Layout and Description of Engine
2.1 01 Cylinder Head
The Head iß held down on the crankcase through 4 hydraulically tightened studs.
Fitted in the head are 2 inlet valves, 2 exhaust valves, one fuel injector, a starting valve, an indicator
valve and, if required, a relief valve.
The exhaust valves are equipped with rotators, the inlet valves with a seat lubrication to reduce
wear. In fact, oil is injected in a metered amount into the charge air, so this seat lubrication requires
no servicing. Injector and inlet/exhaust valves plus drive are protected by a rocker chamber cover.
Coolant transfer from crankcase to head is made through plugged pipes within the head contour.
2.2 02 Crankshaft System
The drop-forged crankshaft is fitted in the crankcase in underslung arrangement. Main journals
and crankpins are hardened and carried in complex-metal bearing shells. As required by the rated
engine spee, the shaft is fitted with balance weights to reduce mass forces.
The bearing caps are secured to the crankshaft by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal bolts, the former ones
being tightened jointly by a hydraulic tool.
The flywheel is flanged to the shaft‘s driving end, the flange being fitted on the shaft by hydraulic
shrinkage. Power for secundary drives can be taken off from the shaft‘s free end.
The drop-forged connecting rod big end is split in straight (horizontal) arrangement, while the small
end is of the stepped type.
The two-piece pistons are fitted with 3 compression rings and one oil control ring. The former rings
are located in the steel top, the oil ring in the piston skirt above the full-float piston pin.
2.3 03 Engine Frame
The crankcase is a single-piece casting. Large doors permit easy access to all motion parts. Some
doors may optionally be provided with relief valves safeguarding the engine in the case of
crankcase of explosions.
The standard deep ”wet-type” oil sump represents the engine‘s lube oil reservoir, from which oil is
forced into the lubricating circuit by a special delivery pump. Where high or low-level tanks are
utilized for oil reservoir, use is made of a flat ”dry-type” sump with connections for an oil drain (to the
low-level tank) or a special suction pump (to the high-level tank) respectively.
The cylinder liner is located in the crankcase at top and bottom. The liner flange is seated on a
highly waer-resistant ring pressed into the crankcase. The water jackets are sealed by one
”watercooled” Viton 0-seals at the bottom. The head/liner gasket is a steel ring.
