(3) In the reuse of a pre-coated part (bolt etc.), the bolt thread, together with the inside of tap hole, must be
cleared of old sealant at first, later degreased with gasoline, dried with compressed air, and then spread with
appointed sealant, finally tightened under a required torque.
(4) Depending on the applied sealant, sometimes the bolt must be laid up for specified period to allow the
hardening of sealant.

12. Handling of hose clamps
(a) Make sure of the insertion depth of hose and the position of hose clamps before removing the hose so that
these clamps can be totally restored in due course;
(b) Those deformed or loosened clamps must be changed;
(c) As the hose is being reused, its clamps must be placed where the original clamps are located;
(d) A plate-spring clamp, upon its installation, must be tightened by applying force in the arrow direction.
Note:
(1) Make sure to use clean oil with required brand, which must never be replaced by normal oil in order to
avoid the occurrence of accidental faults such as engine scuffing and shell sticking.
(2) The oil into diesel engine must not contain impurities and water. The area near fuel tank filler should
remain clean.
(3) It is strictly forbidden to mix diesel fuel or oil of different brands and manufacturers. Mixture of both new
and old oil is strictly prohibited in the replacement of oil for technical maintenance.
(4) Change the oil filter timely, as regulated.
15. Choosing of coolant
(1) The coolant should be anti-freeze and rust-proof to prevent water channel (jacket) from scaling,as the
scale may result in such faults as high water temperature and engine scuffing.
(2) As the antifreeze is harmful to human body, it should be stored in an original vessel to avoid the contact by
some person.
5
(3) In the absence of antifreeze, distilled water or clean soft water (boiled water, snow water, rainwater) may
be used. But water from river, well or stream or tap water, which is hard and intended to be used, must be
kept clean and softened by adding 2g trisodium phosphate (TSP) into 1L water.
Note:
(1) In the use of a diesel engine, it is disallowed to add freely some coolant against the regulations in this
manual just because of the insufficiency of coolant.
(2) If the leakage of cooling system leads to the insufficiency of coolant, after the remedy of fault, the same
brand of coolant should be added when the engine has become cool.
(3) Do not use inferior coolant or confuse various brands of coolant, otherwise the lifespan of diesel engine
may be seriously affected by corrosion and scaling etc.
(4) It is strictly banned to use various kinds of unprocessed hard water. Otherwise, the consequent scaling may
bring about such faults as high water temperature of engine and engine scuffing.

Operating of Diesel Engine
a. Pre-start preparation
● Check if various engine components are normal and correctly and securely connected, and if every rotating
part is flexible;
● Supplement enough oil, fuel and cooling water as required, and observe if there is leakage;
Note: when the oil level is below the warning mark on dipstick, enough oil should be added timely lest a
major accident might be caused.
● Check the looseness of water pump belts;
● Check the level of electrolyte inside the battery;
● Check the tightening of various connectors on electric devices such as battery, generator and starter;
● Any gas into fuel system must be got rid of prior to the start of diesel engine.
Air discharging method:
Firstly loosen the fuel supply pipe and pump the fuel with hand pump till no bubble exists. And then
unscrew the screw cap at the outlet of fuel injection pump, drive this pump with starter until fuel is seen out
of pump outlet.
b. Starting of fuel engine
In any case, the engine must be started under zero loads (in neutral position)
● Switch on the power supply with key to observe if every electric instrument can indicate normally.
● Start the engine.
● Place the switch in the starting position, where the engine should have been started within 15s. If not, a
second starting attempt should be made after a 2s interval. If three consecutive starting attempts are in vain,
the root cause should be investigated. No further attempt should be made before the remedy of fault. Upon
the successful start of engine, the button of switch should be released immediately to allow the complete
disengagement between starter gear and flywheel toothed ring lest the starter is damaged due to reverse
driving.
● The engine should idle for 3-5 minutes after being started. Meanwhile, the indication of oil pressure gauge
and the cooling water circulation should be checked. Immediately running the just-started engine at a
high speed is strictly banned.
c. Coldstart of fuel engine
In a cold environment, the engine will be hard to be started. The lower the temperature is, the more difficult the
start becomes. At < -15℃ temperature, the difficulty in starting might be caused by the following aspects
without coldstart assistance:
● As the environment temperature is low, the temperature of gas into cylinders is low, so is the compression
end temperature inside the engine. As a result, the compression ignition temperature can’t be reached to
burst into combustion.
● In a cold environment, the diesel fuel has higher viscosity and inferior atomization quality, which make the
ignition very difficult.
● Low environmental temperature may contribute to higher oil viscosity, greater starting resistance torque,
lower starting speed, more air leakage in compression, higher heat transfer rate of working medium to the
surroundings, as well as lower compression end temperature. Thus the ignition becomes difficult.
● Low environmental temperature may increase the internal resistance of battery and weaken its charging and
7
discharging capabilities, thus reducing the starting torque to cause the difficulty in starting. Solutions to
such a coldstart difficulty include:
● Introduction of proper diesel fuel.
● Introduction of proper engine oil.
● Selection of correct starter and battery.
● Preheating of diesel engine. The coolant may be replaced by boiled water to preheat the engine. Supply the
radiator with a proper amount of boiled water, which shouldn’t be let out until the water jacket has become
cold. Add new hot water to start the engine and drain it when the engine gets warm, and then add the
rustproof antifreeze.
d. In-service inspection
● Check if there is knocking, looseness or other unusual sound.
● Check if there is some abnormal burning odor sent out by an overheated electric device.
● Check if there is leakage in fuel, cooling and lubrication systems.
● Check if the readings (indications) for oil pressure, coolant temperature, electric current, fuel level and
others are normal.
● The above cases, if any, should be settled promptly.
e. Engine cutoff
● A diesel engine under heavy load, if expected to stop working, should at first lower its speed and load to a
min. zero-load speed, at which the engine should run for 3~5 minutes before its cutoff. A sudden cutoff is
disallowed for the engine with overhigh water temperature and overweight load.
● If the cooling water fails to be antifreeze in a <5℃ environment, it should, after the engine cutoff, be
totally drained out of engine so as to avoid the frost cracking of cylinder block.
5. Running-in of engine
New or just overhauled engine must at first experience a running-in process featuring gradual increase in load
(originally small) prior to its usage. Through this process, a sound fit can be achieved between surfaces of
moving parts to avoid abnormal wear and damage. To a large extent, the service life, working reliability and
economy of engine depend on the running-in result in the initial operation stage of engine. Hence the user
should follow strictly the running-in specifications.
(a) Running-in
● A new engine should complete a 2000 km running-in period on an automobile as per the running-in
specifications (see the following table).
● An engine, whose pistons, piston rings, cylinder liners, main bearing shells and connection-rod bearing
shells have been changed in an overhaul, should complete its running-in period in 1/3 of various road
hauls by automobile, as listed on Table 4-1. The running-in process also allows the further check on
assembling quality of every engine part for necessary adjustment.
0~300 Zero Not more than 50% rated speed of relevant engine
>300~1000 Not more than 25% rated load Not more than 50% rated speed of relevant engine
>1000~1500 Not more than 50% rated load Not more than 50% rated speed of relevant engine
>1500~2000 Not more than 75% rated load Not more than the rated top speed of engine
8
(b) Notes for running-in
● Make sure that in the running-in process, attention should be paid to observe and listen for the working
conditions of various engine systems, and a check should be given on oil leakage, water leakage, air
leakage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, engine speed and exhaust color. A fault or abnormality, if any,
should be removed at first and then followed by further running-in.
● A running-in vehicle should run on a level-1 or level-2 road, rather than on an inferior road (in particular
on a beach). Full-speed or overloaded running is strictly banned.
(c) Technical maintenance after the running-in
Upon the completion of running-in, the engine should be checked, cleaned and adjusted once for the
removal of metal powder deposited in the lubricant and the adjustment of unreasonable clearances. Main
contents involved in this period include:
● Drain the oil in lubrication system, clean the lubrication system, change the oil filter, and renew oil into
specified brand;
● Check and adjust clearances of intake and exhaust valves, as listed below (in cold state):
Intake-valve clearance:(0.2mm~0.3 mm) / exhaust-valve clearance:(0.35 mm~0.45 mm)
● Check the tightening of bolts on all points, and retighten the cylinder head bolts as required (in the case
of oil/water/air leakage)
Note: only after the completion of running-in and maintenance according to technical requirements can the
engine enter normal operation. Otherwise, the service life of engine will be shortened.
(d) Notes for operating a new vehicle
Abiding by the following rules in driving a new vehicle can not only lengthen the service life of vehicle, but
save the diesel fuel.
● Maintain normal coolant temperature and regular oil pressure
● Keep the vehicle running at normal speed instead of a high speed
● It is disallowed to slam acceleration as the vehicle is being started
● Try to avoid sudden braking in the initial 300 km haul
● The vehicle shouldn’t run at low speed when the shift lever of gearbox is pushed into a high gear
● Do not drive the vehicle at high or low speed for a long time, but shift gears in due time according to the
driving conditions
● Carry out the technical maintenance as required when the running-in haul for a new vehicle amounts to
2000km
6. Technical maintenance of diesel engine
Periodic maintenance can keep the engine in a long-time, satisfactory, technical state, so our customers must
follow the specifications for careful technical maintenance, during which special attention should be paid to
component cleaning. The dismounted parts in the reinstallation should be washed up and correctly installed,
and then the engine should be started for a check on its running state.
(a) Technical maintenance period
All items of scheduled technical maintenance fall into 2 categories – daily maintenance and periodic
maintenance based on the law that the deteriorating degree of technical state varies with component. The
following engine operating time or road haul has been suggested by assuming the automobile runs on a
level-1 or level-2 road. Given a tougher environment, both the period and haul should be cut by a half.
● Daily maintenance: generally at the end of every 8~10h shift.
9
● Periodic maintenance: after every accumulated 100h runtime of engine or every 5,000 km road haul of
automobile; after every accumulated 200h runtime of engine or every 10,000km road haul of automobile;
and after every accumulated 1,600h runtime of engine or every 80,000km road haul of automobile.
(b) Contents of technical maintenance
In order to ensure the normal running of engine, the following process should be abided by for technical
maintenance.
● Daily technical maintenance
(1) Check the level of fuel, coolant and oil, and add as required if necessary.
Note:Only in the engine miss can various fluid levels be correctly checked.
Note:Never fuel the fuel tank when the engine is running. On a vehicle working in a sweltering climate,
the tank must not be topped up; otherwise the fuel will overflow due to expansion. Once
overflowing, the spill must be wiped off immediately.
(2) Clear the dust on battery and the spilled electrolyte to ensure the vent holes are unhindered. The battery
in normal use hardly needs any maintenance, but at high temperature, needing regular check on
electrolyte level. The fluid level should be 10~15 mm above the polar plate and if insufficient, should
be made up by distilled water.
(3) After the start of engine, check if there is fuel, water or air leakage (“three leakages”) and timely remove
it if any.
(4) Check the fixedness of all accessories.
(5) Observe the running state of started engine and check the performance of instruments. Timely repair or
change the damaged instruments.
(6) Keep the engine clean. In particular, the electric devices must not be contaminated by oil and the radiator
must not be covered with foreign bodies.
Note: if the engine works in a dusty environment, its air filter should be disassembled daily and dusted.
(c) Periodic technical maintenance of engine
After every 100h running period of engine or every 5,000 km road haul of vehicle, in addition to the above
maintenance contents, the following should also be included:
(1) Clean the cartridges of oil filter, air filter and fuel filter.
(2) Check the coolant and clean the radiator.
(3) Check the fixedness of engine.
(4) Check the looseness of water pump belt.
(5) Check and adjust the valve clearances if necessary.
After every 200h running period of engine or every 10,000 km road haul of vehicle, in addition to the above
maintenance contents, the following should also be included:
(1) Change the sump oil and oil filter cartridge.
(2) Change the fuel filter cartridge.
(3) Check valve clearances and adjust them if necessary.
(4) Check the water pump performance and water seals.
(5) Check if electric devices and wires have been connected securely and replace those burned out.
(6) Clean out the furring in pipes of cooling system.
(7) Clean the crankcase ventilation system.
10
(8) Check as required the performance of supercharger rotor and remove the pipe connecting air compressor
and air filter to rotate the rotor. If the rotor runs smoothly and can rotate freely for more than one
revolution, it should be considered as trouble-free. Otherwise, the supercharger should be disassembled
for internal inspection.
Note: make sure that, in the inspection of rotor performance, the surroundings and external environment
around the disassembly site are absolutely clean. No foreign bodies should fall into the
supercharging system, or a serious consequence will be caused. Normally only a Supercharger
Company or special service center is qualified for this disassembly. So the user must not
disassemble and reassemble the supercharger assembly at his discretion.
(9) Dismount the compressor housing as required to check if oil leaks from the compressor end. Meanwhile,
clean the housing cavity and impeller surface of compressor. But take care never to damage the blades at
the time of cleaning. This task should be carried out by a service man from supercharger manufacturer.
After every 1600h running period of engine or every 80,000 km road haul of vehicle, in addition to the above
maintenance contents, the following should also be included:
(1) Disassemble and wash the engine to remove the oil stains and furring. Clean all the lubrication pipes and
oil channels.
(2) Dismount the cylinder heads as required to polish the valves and to remove the carbon deposited in the
combustion chamber.
(3) Check the wear of piston ring, cylinder liner, connection-rod small end bushing and connection-rod
bearing shell, which, if necessary, should be changed.
(4) Check the wear of main bearing brass and thrust pieces.
(5) Check the wear of engaging surface of drive mechanism and drive gears and measure their engaging
clearances. If necessary, repair or change the troubled ones.
(6) Check the oil pump. Check upon disassembly or measure the damaged parts for adjustment.
(7) Check the cylinder gaskets and intake/exhaust pipe gaskets, and change those damaged or disabled.
(8) Check the generator and starter. Clean all mechanical parts and bearings, which, if blow-dried, should be
re-greased. Check the wear of starter gears and the flexibility of driveline.
(9) Disassemble and check the supercharger assembly as required, and change the damaged or disabled
parts:
− Clean the intake connection pipe, compressor impeller and compressor housing, and get rid of
deposited carbon in impeller and volute.
− Check the movable parts in supercharger and dial the rotor with finger. The rotor rotating for several
revolutions with the aid of inertia force can be regarded as running flexibly. If there is inflexibility
in rotation or seizure or knocking, the rotor should be considered abnormal so that an adjustment or
repair is needed.
− Check the axial displacement of rotor shaft, which, if longer than 0.3 mm, indicates an oversize
wear of supercharger thrust bearing and the replacement necessity for this bearing.
− Check the radial clearance between compressor impeller and compressor housing by pushing down
the impeller radially with finger. At this moment, this clearance should be at least 0.1 mm. If not, the
floating bearing of supercharger should be changed.
11
(2) The cooling system had better be filled with antifreeze, or all the cooling water should be drained when
water temperature drops to 40-50℃ upon the parking.
(3) A vehicle in a frigid season or region shouldn’t be parked in the open air.
(4) Both oil and cooling water can be heated to support a coldstart.

Fuel feeding of high-pressure pump
Dry-running is disallowed for a high-pressure fuel pump; otherwise there will be dry friction in the pump,
leading to wear even damage on parts. Therefore for a pump in initial use or with air in its fuel channel, the
following method must be followed to expel air and the fuel feeding pressure must not be higher than 4bar:
● Loosen the air bleeder bolt on fuel filter;
● Push down the hand pump on fuel filter until all the air has been vented and fuel is seen out of
air-bleed hole;
● Tighten the air bleeder bolt;
● Repeat the above process if necessary.

into intake system for recycling.
● The diaphragm of EGR valve is connected to a pivot on one end and to a spring on another end (it
is just this spring that keep the valve normally closed). When the
vacuum pressure (or air pressure) on diaphragm is greater than the
spring force, the pivot will be pulled off its original position to open
up the passage, through which the exhaust gas can enter the recycling
system. The amount of recycled exhaust gas directly hinges on the
intake amount.
● In nature, the EGR relies on worsen combustion to reduce the NOx.
As the NOx can be produced under two conditions – high
temperature and abundant oxygen, so by leading a certain amount
of post-combustion exhaust gas into intake pipe via the control valve
to join fresh air for in-cylinder combustion, such inert gas can slow
down the combustion speed and lower the maximum combustion
temperature and consequently reduce the amount of NOx .
3.2.12 Other component – Turbocharger
Function and principle:
● The turbine of turbocharger is connected to exhaust pipe, so do compressor and intake pipe. As
the turbine rotates coaxially with compressor impeller, the compressor can be towed by driving
the turbine with exhaust gas, thus increasing the intake
pressure and air charge.
● When the engine runs at a high speed and under a heavy load,
overhigh turbocharger speed and supercharging pressure can
be reduced by turning on the exhaust byway valve to bleed
some exhaust gas, thus decreasing the turbocharger speed
and controlling the compression ratio.
Essentials in operation:
● As the turbocharger adopts full-floating bearings with very
high lubrication requirement, oil of supercharging diesel
engine should be used as required.
● To ensure the lubrication of bearings, the engine should idle for several minutes upon the start to
bring the lubricant up to a certain temperature and pressure. The same is true in stopping the
engine, which means, instead of stalling suddenly, it should have its load gradually decreased and
finally idle for several minutes before stalling.
● The relevant regulations should be abided by to regularly clean air filter and check the leakage of
intake system.

− The sealing capability has been enhanced by surrounding the cylinder bores on cylinder head gasket
with an integrated independent gasket for #1-#4 cylinders.
− Cylinder bores adopt a double-edge structure, which can hold the elasticity of cylinder head gasket
within a minimum threshold to ensure the sealability against the rising pressure of combusted air.
43
Camshaft timing system
● The camshaft timing system is composed of timing gear system and toothed belt, making the engine
shorter and the change of belt easier.
● High-strength material adopted by timing belt has created more reliability.
● Hydraulic automatic tensioner can keep the belt tension constant.
● Gear chamber and gear covers are made of aluminum alloy. On the timing gear chamber cover is a
crankshaft position sensor.
● Both inner and outer covers of sprocket chamber are made of resin. Sealing gaskets around the outer
cover of sprocket chamber has reduced the engine vibration and noise. The camshaft seal is installed on
the cylinder head.
44
Camshaft timing system
Oil-pressure tensioner
● The piston ring built in the tensioner pushes the idler pulley via a push rod to exert a certain tension
force on belt. But forced by check valve ball, oil will enable the push rod to move towards the looser
side of belt, thus keeping the tension on belt constant.
● Once the belt becomes loose, the push rod will be forced by piston spring to move up, and the oil in
chamber A will burst through the check valve ball into chamber B, vice versa. If the engine speed drops,
the tension on belt will increase so that the tensioner pulley will push the push rod. At this moment, the
check valve ball cuts off the passage from chamber B to chamber A, so the chamber B will be highly
stressed to prevent the invasion (into chamber B) by push rod. In this way, the belt tension can remain
constant through the up-and-down continuous action of push rod.
● Dismounting
1. Dismount the outer cover of timing belt chamber.
(1) Dismount the phase sensor and its support.
(2) Remove the wire tube clamps.
(3) Unscrew 6 bolts to take down the outer cover of sprocket chamber.
2. Dismount the timing belt
(1) Rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the marks on two toothed pulleys (sprockets) are aligned
with each other.
(2) Evenly loosen 2 bolts to take down the tensioner.
(3) Dismount the timing belt and mark arrows according to its moving direction (its original moving
direction should remain unchanged when the belt is being assembled)
45
● Installation
1. Prevent the valves and pistons against damage
To turn the camshaft in the absence of timing belt (dismounted), the crankshaft needs at first to be
turned 90°anticlockwise.
Note:
− Never turn the crankshaft when the timing belt has been removed,(The mutual interference
between pistons and valves will invite the damage)
− In the installation of timing belt, the camshaft must firstly return to the alignment mark. Then

Intake and exhaust systems
I Valve-related items
● Adopt the DOHC4 valve structure, in which the intake camshaft drives the exhaust camshaft through
gears.
● Camshafts are made of alloy cast iron. By reducing the thickness of cam nose and shortening the camshaft
diameter has the engine become lighter.
● 4 Valves are made of heatproof steel and oppositely aligned. In addition, a high-speed, low-consumption
target has been achieved with smaller diameter of valve stems, lighter valves and lower inertia.
● Valve tappets have no spacers, thus decreasing the quantity of components and reducing the engine
weight.
Crankcase ventilator
● Lead the gas blowby containing a large amount of hydrocarbon into take system, where it can
combust once again to improve the exhausting preformance.
● By designing the blowby passage into a loop and extending the ventilation duct out of the top of
cylinder head cover have both the oil content in blowby and the oil consumption been reduced , thus
achieving the low-emission target.
● The gas blowby in crankcase, via the ventilation duct at the top of cylinder head cover, is restored to
the intake side of turbocharger.
59
Turbocharger
● The turbocharger is an exhaust depressurization type. Once the supercharging pressure goes beyond
the set value, the actuator on exhaust pressure-reducing valve begins to take action. It releases the
exhaust pressure through the byway and lowers the supercharger speed in order to keep the
supercharging pressure rising continuously. The maximum supercharging pressure depends on the
spring force of exhaust pressure-reducing valve.
● Lighter rotor, together with improved air inlet shape and blade shape has not only contributed to
quicker response and stronger supercharging performance, but fully ensured the engine reliability.
● The compressor casing is cooled by air, while the exhaust temperature is brought down through
intercooler.
60
EGR valve
● An electric EGR system has been adopted to reduce the emission.
● Install the EGR vale on intake channel, cool it with air, and with the aid of a large-capacity
multi-pipe EGR cooler, achieve a large amount of EGR gas.
● Through the EGR channel designed inside the cylinder head, the end gas can be recycled directly on
the intake side, so the EGR gas can be cooled more effectively and the engine becomes smaller.
● EGR-valve uplift sensor has been used. It can closely monitor the actual uplift of EGR valve so as to
accurately control the EGR.
● The use of spring centering device has reduced the lag on both “on” and “off” sides of EGR valve,
thus improving the EGR regulating accuracy .

66
through its oil storage newly set at the rear end of engine. Meanwhile, it has changed the
position of filter suction port lest air will be sucked in due to the change in oil level as the
vehicle is uphill or downhill or takes a turn.
● There is a oil level sensor on one side of sump, which can notify the driver of oil level drop.
● Liquid spacer with superior leak-tightness has been used between sump outer edge and
cylinder block.
● Sump isolator has been adopted between sump and transmission as shock absorber to reduce
the noise of standing waves.

● Light and perfectly shockproof, the resin material adopted by cylinder head cover has not only reduced
the engine weight, but ensured the strength of cylinder head cover. With the improvement in the shape of
this cover, engine noise has been reduced. By installing a traverse baffle in the cover and extending the
ventilation duct out of cover roof, the fuel cutout capability has also been enhanced. In addition, both
traverse baffle and ventilation duct are made of resin, so the engine becomes lighter.
101
● Improvement has been made in the diameter of PVC tubes to prevent water inside the tubes from
freezing at a low temperature.
● The cylinder head gasket adopts heatproof and oil-proof ACM (acrylate rubber) to ensure its reliability.
● The cylinder head is made of light aluminum alloy with superior thermal conductivity. Also, adopting
the DOHC and 4-valve structure and vertically aligning injectors at the center of cylinder head has
endowed the engine with not only higher performance but better reliability, achieving the low-emission,
downsizing target.
● The cylinder head gasket is formed by 4-layer steel pieces with superior sealing performance and heat
resistance.
102
● Main characteristics:
① The inside of piston ring groove is designed with cooling oil channel, through which oil out of
injection nozzle cools the piston, solving the problem that the temperature of piston top increases
with power output. As a result, the abrasion resistance of piston is enhanced.
② An reentrant round ω shape suiting the direct injection system has been adopted for combustion
chamber to improve the combustion efficiency, thus achieving the target of high output, low fuel
consumption and low emission.
¾ Piston rings
● The 1st gas ring adopts alloy steel to ensure the wear resistance of piston.
● The 2nd gas ring reduces the piston ring tension and friction to achieve low fuel consumption.
● Oil ring adopts coil spring scraping oil effectively.

2. Crankshaft
The crankshaft is cast, consisting of 5 journals and 8 balance weights. The Considering the environmental
factor in addition to more strength and less weight, superior alloy steel is therefore chosen. On top of this,
improvement has been made in the weight balance of running crankshaft, and vibration and noise has
been reduced.
For the structure of crankshaft, see this picture.
3. Flywheel
The flywheel is a cast round disc at the rear of crankshaft. It has 3 outward grooves on the friction surface
for taking away a large amount of grindings and heat produced by the friction between clutch disc and
103
flywheel, whose lifespan can therefore be lengthened. On the rim of flywheel is a toothed ring assisting
the starter in starting the engine.
Dismounting
① Fasten the crankshaft with tools.
② Take down 8 bolts and then remove the flywheel.
③ Dismount the rear partition.
※ Note:

Lubrication system
● This lubrication is characterized by full pressure feed and full filtering.
● On the front end of oil filter is an efficient oil cooler targeting the cooling performance gain.
● The use of oil jet, by cooling and lubricating the pistons more effectively, has made the engine more
durable and reliable.

etc. (See the “Oil-way diagram of lubrication system”)
E.g.:The supercharger adopts pressure lubrication, which is to ensure enough lubrication and cooling of
rotor and bearings in their normal operation. Lubricant for supercharger recirculates from main oil
channel of cylinder block, via oil inlet pipe into supercharger, then through oil return pipe back to oil pan.
Splash lubrication: targeting piston, piston ring, piston pin, cylinder sleeve, camshaft and oil pump gear
etc.

2. Oil filter
Structure:
An oil filter consists of filter bracket assembly, spin-on cartridge and sealing ring. Inside the filter is a
safety valve, along with a pressure limiting valve forcing excessive oil back to sump.
Type: full-flow type.
106
※ Suggestion: For a new vehicle, the 2,000 km running-in haul should end up with the replacement of
oil filter, and thereafter, every 8,000 km should be ended with the replacement of both oil and oil
filter.
※ Note: Unclean oil will exacerbate the wear of parts and might even block the oil way, so oil filter
should be maintained periodically according to technical requirements.
※ Note: No leakage is allowed on the faying surface between oil filter housing and base. Nor should
damage on parts is allowed.

3. Oil pump
● It is a gear pump (see the right-hand picture) fixed on gear chamber and driven by helical gear on
camshaft.
● Merits:
① Small volume
This small pump adopts 5 blades and 6 cycloidal teeth. It is driven by crankshaft timing gear
through pump driving gear. In addition, the integration of pump driving gear and timing gear
chamber has cut the engine size to achieve the engine downsizing.
② Low friction
Internal depressurization has been introduced to regulate the oil feeding resistance and reduce the
friction.
● Technial requirements of installation
① The assembled pump should rotate flexibly and stably, without any seizure.
107
② No oil leakage is allowed on the frying surface.
③ The opening pressure of pressure regulating valve is 480±49kPa.

Function Diagnosis and Fault Remedy
114
In case of starting the engine at <75 ℃ water temperature, the heater plug should pre-work for a period to
ensure a smooth start as the ignition switch is switched on. This pre-working state is demonstrated by 0~12s
illumination of heater plug. The lower the water temperature is, the longer the pre-heating period becomes. If
water temperature is lower than 40℃ during and after the start, the heater plug will also work for 0~180s based
on water temperature, and the increase in its pre-working time will be in proportion to the decrease in water
temperature as well to ensure normal start and stable operation of engine.
Transport condition
When the vehicle is running normally (see the previous picture in which the start switch is in the position B), the
fuel charge can be calculated based on accelerator pedal device (accelerator pedal sensor) and engine speed. The
transmission diagram should be utilized for this calculation concern so as to match the driver’s input to engine
O/P (output) power optimally.
Idle speed control
With the idle speed controlled, fuel consumption will mostly depend on engine efficiency and idle speed. As the
fuel consumption of vehicle hinges on its working condition in a heavy traffic, it is obvious that the idle speed
should at best be minimized. But the idle speed must be set under whatever condition so that engine speed won’t
drop too much under a load to make the engine almost stall or stall.
E.g. when electrical system is being loaded, when AC is on, when automatic gear shift is busy, or when power
steering device is operating – there is a load on engine.
To achieve the required idle speed, the idle speed controller will change the fuel charge until actual engine speed
is just the required idle speed. Here, this speed, together with speed governing characteristics is subject to the
influence from specific gear and engine temperature (coolant temperature sensor). In addition to external load
torque, internal friction torque must also be considered and offset through idle speed control. Minor and quite
stable in the service life of vehicle, these changes are closely related to temperature.
Take the PALADIN as an example: after starting the engine at <5℃ water temperature, this system will govern
the engine speed for 2s preheating period, in which engine speed will exceed the 800rpm target idle speed. The
lower the water temperature is, the higher the speed of started engine will be – but lower than 1000rpm. As the
vehicle runs, the idle speed at every gear is unexceptionally 200rpm.
If the AC is switched on during as engine idles, the AC compressor will start working within 2s, meanwhile the
target idle speed will rise to 810rpm to weaken the influence from compressor operation.
The idle speed controller can unexceptionally stabilize the idle speed at the target point whenever the steering
wheel is turned, the headlamps are turned on or other loading function is activated.
Note: for different vehicle types, both target idle speed and AC idle speed may vary slightly due to the influence
from factors such as load, driveline and noise, and are subject to adjustment and calibration as the case may be.
Smoothrunning control
Mechanical tolerances and aging will lead to the torque deviation among engine cylinders, which will further
cause rough running of engine during its running particularly idling period. Smoothrunning governor can calculate
the speed change based on every combustion process for mutual comparison and regulate the fuel delivery of
every cylinder as per the measured speed difference, enabling every cylinder to make the same contribution to
engine torque. But it functions only when engine runs at a much lower speed.
Control on fuel charge limit
There is a series of reason to demonstrate why the fuel amount required by driver or physically realizable to the
utmost extent can’t be injected, including:
− Excessive pollutant emission
115
− Mechanical overload caused by oversize torque or engine speed
This fuel charge limit is the result of various inputs, such as air intake, engine speed and coolant temperature.
Take the PALADIN as an example: for s standard electric fan, its opening temperature is 90℃ and closing
temperature is 88℃; While for a high-speed fan, its opening temperature is 95℃ and closing temperature is 90℃.
If air temperature or load is so high that electric fan can’t control water temperature (≥105℃), engine will be
overheated. At this moment, the system will automatically regulate the fuel charge to limit the engine output so as
to hold the temperature within a safe range. Thus there will be a little drop in power – from the perspective of
engine protection, this is necessary. If water temperature is higher than 95 ℃ in engine stalling, the fan will also
go on working for 10~120s to bring down water temperature.
The same is true with AC, which will activate its protective function by shutting off when water temperature is
above 105℃, to reduce the load on engine. However, when water temperature drops to 102℃, the AC will
automatically start to work.
Standardizing the protective function of supercharger and oxidation catalytic converter through high-temperature
and plateau tests is also based on such a principle – the system will automatic regulate the fuel charge to limit the
supercharger speed within 180,000 rev./min under various working conditions and keep the exhaust temperature
within 700℃ (sometimes over 700℃ temporarily but below 750℃) .
Also, the temperature threshold for various protective functions will vary with vehicle type, radiation system and
engine compartment structure, but for a common purpose – to ensure safe, steady running of both vehicle and
engine.
Activated shockproof control
Suddenly stepping or releasing the accelerator pedal will result in rapid change in fuel charge and later engine
torque. With such a sudden change in load, elastic engine base and driveline will jerk so violently that engine
speed fluctuates (see the following picture).
This periodic fluctuation in engine speed can be weakened by activating the shock absorber, which will contribute
to the same speed fluctuation frequency to change the fuel charge. The higher the engine speed, the less the fuel
charge; vice versa – this has effectively cushioned the oscillation.
116
Engine stalling
A diesel engine will run in the principle of automatic ignition, which means it can only rely on fuel cutoff to stop
running.
An engine with electric control unit can be stopped by meeting the “zero fuel charge” requirement specified by
ECU. Also, the system has been supplied with a series of additional fuel cutoff approaches ready for motion.
117
OBD lamp:
After switching on the ignition switch without starting the engine, the trouble lamp will shine constantly. But after
the engine is started, it will go out. If emission from a running engine goes beyond the standard just because of a
fire, the OBD lamp will light up to remind the driver of checking the engine.
