1.1 Important Information
1.1.1 Reman assemblies – Prerequisites for maintenance tasks

and general assembly instructions
These Maintenance Instructions are for technicians responsible for maintenance.
Contents:
• Scheduled W6 maintenance tasks
• Non-scheduled service operations on the individual assemblies.
Reman assemblies
The following assemblies are only available through the exchange procedure:
Series 2000 Series 4000
Vibration damper Vibration damper
Camshaft Camshaft
Injection pump High-pressure fuel pump
Injector
MDEC MDEC
Basic requirements for maintenance and service work

Customers performing their own maintenance must ensure that the following conditions are fulfilled:
• All safety regulations are observed.
• Use of trained and qualified personnel.
• Suitable workshop equipment with general tools.
• Suitable test equipment.
• Approved special tools.
General assembly instructions

Assemblies that are exposed to contact with oil, fuel, coolant and combustion air must be clean. Assemblies with
the requirement ”Specially clean” (e.g. components carrying oil and fuel) should be cleaned in the appropriate
manner and checked for cleanness. Remove packaging of components immediately before assembly.
Elastomer components (e.g. rubber and similar) must not be washed with diesel fuel, solvent or cold cleaners.
• Remove oil or fuel coatings. The parts should be wiped with a dry cloth.
• Elastomer components such as engine mounts, damping elements, couplings and V-belts must not be painted.
They can only be installed after painting the engine or must be covered before painting work is carried out.
Radial-lip shaft seals treated by the manufacturer with oil show as a result definite signs of swelling when delivered.
They must therefore be cleaned (not washed) only with an abrasion-proof paper cloth before installation.
The surfaces of parts that slide against each other must be lubricated with SAE 30 engine
oil when installed, unless otherwise specified.
O-rings and surfaces moving against them during installation (bores and shafts) must be coated with petroleum
jelly, unless otherwise specified. When installing O-rings with counterrings in coolant pumps, always follow the
installation instructions. After installing O-rings in shaft grooves, pass a rounded marking tool under the O-ring in the
direction of the circumference if the O-ring diameter is sufficiently large. Make sure that the O-ring is not damaged.
Before shaft seal assembly:
• On the shaft, the sealing lip of the shaft seal must be coated with petroleum jelly and the shaft
running surface with thin-film lubricant or SAE 30 engine oil.
M020127/02E 05-08 © MTU

12 General
• In the support bore, in the case of a metal outer jacket the outer surface must be coated with surface
sealant, unless otherwise specified in the drawing. For elastomer outer jackets or combined metal/elastomer
outer jackets, the outer surface must be coated with denatured ethanol.
This symbol applies to radial-lip shaft seals and its significance depends on its position. The
arrow indicates the position of the sealing lip.
Sealing paste must be used to fix the position of flat gaskets. Sealing paste is to be thinly applied in spots on the
flat gaskets or mating faces. Immediately after application of the sealing paste, the flat gaskets must be fitted to
the component and then (no more than 20 minutes later) the seal components screwed together. .
Before installing antifriction bearings, lubricate the bearing seats. Only remove the bearings from their
original packaging immediately before installation. Do not remove the corrosion inhibitor from the
bearings in the original packaging. Use petroleum spirit or acid-free kerosene to clean the antifriction
bearings. After cleaning, relubricate the bearings with engine oil.
• During assembly, do not apply (axial) forces to rolling elements and do not hit the bearing
rings with a hammer (use assembly aids).
• Do not use an open flame to heat bearing inner races.
• The temperature must be between 80 °C and 100 °C and never exceed 120 °C.
• Deep-freezing for friction bearing installation is not permissible (risk of cracking, rusting through condensate).
Do not oil dry bearings.
When installing gears, the splines must be lubricated with SAE 30 engine oil.
All support and mating surfaces of components (e.g. mating surfaces for centering devices, flange and sealing
surfaces, joint surfaces of press fits) must be clean, polished or provided with the specified surface protection and free
from warping and damage. Corrosion inhibitor (e.g. oil, grease) must be removed from the contact and mating faces.
After parts are joined which are installed by means of cooling using liquid nitrogen, all condensate
must be removed and the parts coated with SAE 30 engine oil.
Sensors must be coated with long-life lubricant before installation in the immersion sleeves.
Cable connections with cutting ring unions must be preassembled and tightened in a vice, after
the threads have been previously coated with thin-film lubricant.
If components are to be marked by etching, after the etching is completed the solution must be removed by
means of neutralization agent. The affected parts must then be preserved with SAE 30 engine oil.
Components used in hot part areas (e.g. V-clamps, bellows, plug-in pipes) must be coated at the support
and mating surfaces with assembly paste, unless otherwise specified.
The assembly surfaces of screws, nuts, washers and of parts to be tensioned must be clean and
polished or provided with the specified surface protection and free from warping and damage. Corrosion
inhibitors (e.g. oil, grease) must be removed. Thread and screw contact surfaces must be coated with
lubricant before installation in accordance with tightening specifications.
Unless otherwise specified, use engine oil as a lubricant (SAE 30) and assembly paste in hot-part areas.
For threaded connections without tightening specifications, the tightening procedure can be selected
as required, i.e. mechanical tightening with screwdriver or normal manual tightening with an open-end
wrench or box wrench is possible. When machine-tightening is carried out, look up tightening torque
of thread size and strength class in the general tightening specifications.
Threaded connections with tightening specifications:
• The threaded connections must be tightened manually with a click wrench or angle-of-rotation torque
wrench. The specified tightening torques must be set without considering the specified tolerance
at the click wrench. When using an angle-of-rotation torque wrench, the torque indicated must be
within the torque specification limit value. Proceed in a similar manner with torsionally protected
threaded connections. This information also applies to checking torques.
• If no tolerance is specified for tightening torque, the tightening tolerance is + 10% of specified torque.
• Angleofrotation tightening:
The angles of further rotation specified in the tightening specifications must be achieved and may be
exceeded within the specified tolerance. If no tightening tolerance is specified, the following tolerances
must be observed: +5° for additional angle of rotation less than or equal to 90° +10° for additional
M020127/02E 05-08 © MTU

General 13
angle of rotation greater than 90°. Before angle-of-rotation tightening, each screw head must be
color-marked so that after tightening it is possible to check that the angle of rotation is correct (exception:
color-marking is not necessary in the case of a self-monitoring NC screwdriver).
• Elongated tightening:
Carry out tightening according to tightening specifications, taking tightening tolerance into consideration.

1.2.3 Safety precautions when working on the engine
Safety precautions when putting the equipment into operation

Prior to initial operation, the product must have been installed correctly and approved according to MTU specifications.
Before putting the device or the system into operation, always ensure
• that all maintenance and repair work is completed
• that all loose components have been removed from rotating parts
• that nobody is standing in the danger zone of moving engine components.
Safety requirements for operators
Procedures for cases of emergency must be practised regularly.
The operator must be familiar with the controls and displays.
The operator must know the consequences of each operation to be carried out.
The operator must carry out the individual operations according to the documentation.
During operation, the displays and monitoring units must be permanently observed with regard to present
operating status, violation of limit values and warning or alarm messages.
The following steps must be taken if a malfunction of the system is recognized or reported by the system:
• notify the supervisory personnel in charge
• analyze the message
• if required, carry out emergency operations e.g. emergency engine stop.
Engine operation
When the engine is running, always wear ear protectors.
Ensure that the engine room is well ventilated.
Mop up any leaked or spilt fluids and lubricants immediately or soak up with a suitable bonding agent.
Exhaust gases from combustion engines are poisonous. Inhalation of poisonous exhaust gases is a health
hazard. The exhaust pipework must be free of leaks and discharge the gases to atmosphere.
During engine operation, do not touch battery terminals, generator terminals or cables.
Inadequate protection of electrical components can lead to electric shocks and serious injuries.
When the engine is running, never release coolant, oil, fuel, compressed-air or hydraulic lines.
Maintenance and repair
Compliance with maintenance and repair specifications is an important safety factor.
Unless expressly permitted, no maintenance or repair work must be carried out with the engine running. Secure
the engine against inadvertent starting. With electric starter, disconnect the battery. With pneumatic starter, close
main shut-off valve of compressed-air system and release pressure from compressed-air supply line. Attach sign
"Do not operate" in operating area or to control equipment. Persons not involved must keep clear.
Never attempt to rectify faults or carry out repairs if you do not have the necessary experience or special tools
required. Maintenance and repair work must only be carried out by authorized, qualified personnel.
Use only proper, calibrated tools.
Do not work on engines or components which are only held by lifting equipment or crane.
Always support these components in accordance with regulations on suitable frames or stands
before beginning any maintenance or repair work.
Before barring the engine, make sure that nobody is standing in the danger zone. After working on the engine, check
that all guards have been installed and that all tools and loose components have been removed from the engine.
Fluids emerging under high pressure can penetrate clothing and skin and may cause serious injury. Before
starting work, relieve pressure in systems and H.P. lines which are to be opened.
Never bend a fuel line and do not install bent lines. Keep fuel injection lines and connections clean.
Always seal connections with caps or covers if a line is removed or opened.
During maintenance and repair work, take care not to damage the fuel lines. To tighten the connections when
installing the lines, use the correct tightening torque and ensure that all retainers and dampers are installed correctly.
Ensure that all fuel injection lines and pressurized oil lines have sufficient distance to other
components to avoid contact with them. Do not place fuel or oil lines near hot components,
except when necessary for design reasons during installation.
M020127/02E 05-08 © MTU

General 17
Elastomers (e.g. "Viton" sealing rings) are stable under normal operating conditions. When subjected to fire
or temperatures above 300 °C the material degenerates, giving off hydrogen fluoride gas. Hydrogen fluoride
vapors are released in this case. The resulting acid leads to serious burning if it contacts the skin. Do not touch
elastomeric seals if they have carbonized or resinous appearance. Wear protective gloves!
Take care with hot fluids in lines, pipes and chambers ⇒ Risk of injury!
Note cooling period for components which are heated for installation or removal ⇒ Risk of injury!
Do not touch hot components of the compressor and the exhaust system ⇒ Risk of injury!
Take special care when removing ventilation or plugs from engine. In order to avoid discharge of
highly pressurized liquids, hold a cloth over the screw or plug. It is even more dangerous if the
engine has recently been shut down, as the liquids can still be hot.
Take special care when draining hot fluids. ⇒ Risk of injury!
When draining, collect fluids in a suitable container, mop up any spilt fluids or wipe or
soak them with a suitable bonding agent.
When changing the engine oil or working on the fuel system, ensure that the engine room is adequately ventilated.
When working high on the engine, always use suitable ladders and work platforms. Make
sure components are placed on stable surfaces.
In order to prevent back injuries when lifting heavy components adults, depending on age and sex,
should only lift weights between max. 10 kg and 30 kg, therefore:
• Use lifting gear or seek assistance.
• Ensure that all chains, hooks, slings, etc. are tested and authorized, are sufficiently strong and that
hooks are correctly positioned. Lifting eyes must not be unevenly loaded.
Welding work
Never carry out welding work on the engine or engine-mounted units.
Never use the engine as a ground connection. This prevents the welding current passing through
the engine resulting in burnt/scorched bearings, sliding surfaces and tooth flanks which may
lead to bearing seizure and/or other material damage.
Never position the welding power supply cable adjacent to, or crossing MTU plant wiring harnesses. The welding
current could be induced in the cable harnesses and could possibly damage the electrical plant.
The welding unit ground connection must not be more than 60 cm from the weld point.
If components (e.g. exhaust manifold) are to be welded, they must be removed from the engine.
It is not necessary to remove the connector and the connections when carrying out welding operation
on MTU electronics if the master switch for power supply is switched from "ON" to "OFF" and the wire
is disconnected from the negative and positive poles on the battery.
Hydraulic installation and removal
Only the hydraulic installation and removal equipment specified in the work schedule and
in the assembly instructions must be used.
The max. permissible push-on pressure specified for the equipment must not be exceeded.
The H.P. lines for hydraulic installation and removal are tested with 3800 bar.
Do not attempt to bend or apply force to lines.
Before starting work, pay attention to the following:
• Vent the hydraulic installation/removal tool, the pumps and the lines at the relevant points for the system to
be used (e.g. open vent plugs, pump until bubble-free air emerges, close vent plugs).
• For hydraulic installation, screw on the tool with the piston retracted.
• For hydraulic removal, screw on the tool with the piston extended.
For a hydraulic installation/removal tool with central expansion pressure supply, screw spindle
into shaft end until correct sealing is achieved.
During hydraulic installation and removal, ensure that nobody is standing in the immediate vicinity of the
component to be installed/removed. As long as the system is under pressure, there is the risk that the
component to be installed/removed may be suddenly released from the pressure connection.
Before use, the tools must be checked at regular intervals (crack test).
Working on electrical/electronic assemblies
Always obtain the permission of the person in charge before commencing maintenance and repair
work or switching off any part of the electronic system required to do so.
M020127/02E 05-08 © MTU

18 General
Prior to working on assemblies, the power of the appropriate areas must be switched off. Any measures
requiring power supply are expressly defined as such at the appropriate place in the manual.
Gases released from the battery are explosive. Avoid sparks and naked flames. Do not allow battery
acids to come in contact with skin or clothing. Wear protective goggles. Do not place tools on the
battery. Before connecting the cable to the battery, check battery polarity. Battery pole reversal may lead
to injury through the sudden discharge of acid or bursting of the battery body.
Do not damage wiring during removal work and when reinstalling wiring and ensure that during operation it is
not damaged by contact with sharp objects, by rubbing against other component or by a hot surface.
Do not secure wiring to fluid-carrying lines.
On completion of the maintenance and repair work, any cables which have become loose
must be correctly connected and secured.
Always tighten connectors with connector pliers.
On completion of all repair work, the component and system must be subjected to a function check.
Separate testing of the repaired component without system integration is insufficient.
If wires are installed beside mechanical components and there is a risk of chafing, use
cable clamps to properly support the wires.
For this purpose, no cable binders must be used as, during maintenance and / or repair work,
the binders can be removed but not installed a second time.
Spare parts shall be properly stored prior to replacement, i.e. particularly protected against moisture. Defective
electronic components and assemblies must be suitably packed when despatched for repair, i.e. particularly
protected against moisture and impact and wrapped in antistatic foil if necessary.
Working with laser equipment
When working with laser equipment, always wear special laser-protection goggles.
Laser equipment can generate extremely intensive, concentrated radiation by the effect of stimulated emission
in the range of visible light or in the infrared or ultraviolet spectral range. The photochemical, thermal and
optomechanical effects of the laser can cause damage. The main danger is irreparable damage to the eyes.
Laser equipment must be fitted with the protective devices necessary for safe
operation according to type and application.
For conducting light-beam procedures and measurement work, only the following laser devices must be used:
• Laser devices of classes 1, 2 or 3A,
• Laser devices of class 3B, which have maximum output in the visible wavelength range (400 to 700 nm), a
maximum output of 5 mW, and in which the beam axis and surface are designed to prevent any risk to the eyes.
Operation of electrical equipment
When operating electrical equipment, certain components of this equipment are live.
Noncompliance with the warning instructions given for this equipment may result in
serious injury or damage to property.

1.2.4 Auxiliary materials, fire prevention and environmental protection
Fire prevention
Rectify any fuel or oil leaks immediately; even splashes of oil or fuel on hot components can cause fires -
therefore always keep the engine in a clean condition. Do not leave cloths soaked with fluids and lubricants
lying around on the engine. Do not store combustible fluids near the engine.
Do not weld pipes and components carrying oil or fuel. Before welding, clean with a non-combustible fluid.
When starting the engine with a foreign power source, connect the ground lead last and remove it first.
To avoid sparks in the vicinity of the battery, connect the ground lead from the foreign power source
to the ground lead of the engine or to the ground terminal of the starter.
Always keep suitable fire-fighting equipment (fire extinguishers) at hand and familiarize yourself with their use.
Noise
Noise can lead to an increased risk of accident if acoustic signals, warning shouts or
noises indicating danger are drowned.
At all workplaces with a sound pressure level over 85 dB(A), always wear ear protectors
(protective wadding, plugs or capsules).
Environmental protection
Dispose of used fluids, lubricants and filters in accordance with local regulations.
Manipulation of the injection control system can influence the engine performance and exhaust emissions.
As a result, compliance with environmental regulations may no longer be guaranteed.
Only fuels of the specified quality required to achieve emission limits must be used.
In Germany, the VAwS (=regulations governing the use of plants that may affect water quality) is applicable, which
means work must only be carried out by authorized specialist companies (MTU is an authorized specialist company).
Auxiliary materials
Use only fluids and lubricants that have been tested and approved by MTU.
Fluids and lubricants must be kept in suitable, properly designated containers. When using fluids, lubricants and
other chemical substances, follow the safety instructions applicable to the product. Take care when handling
hot, chilled or caustic materials. When using inflammable materials, avoid sparks and do not smoke.
Lead
• When working with lead or lead-containing pastes, avoid direct contact with the
skin and do not inhale lead vapors.
• Adopt suitable measures to avoid the formation of lead dust!
• Switch on fume extraction system.
• After coming into contact with lead or lead-containing materials, wash hands!
Acids and alkaline solutions
• When working with acids and alkalis, wear protective goggles or face mask, gloves and protective clothing.
• Immediately remove clothing wetted by acids and alkalis!
• Rinse injuries with plenty of water!
• Rinse eyes immediately with eyedrops or clean tap water.
Painting
• When painting in other than spray booths equipped with extractors, ensure good ventilation.
Make sure that adjacent work areas are not affected.
• No naked flames!
• No smoking.
• Observe fire prevention regulations!
• It is absolutely necessary to wear masks providing protection against paint and solvent fumes.
Liquid nitrogen
• Store liquid nitrogen only in small quantities and always in regulation containers without fixed covers.
• Do not bring liquid nitrogen in contact with the body (eyes, hands), as this causes frostbite and numbing.
• Wear protective clothing, gloves, closed shoes and protective goggles!
• Ensure the room is well ventilated. 88% contamination of breathing air with nitrogen will result in suffocation.
• Avoid all knocks and jars to the containers, fixtures or workpieces.

Compressed air
Compressed air is air compressed at excess pressure and is stored in tanks from which it can be extracted.
The pressure at which the air is kept can be read off at pressure gauges which must be connected
to the compressed air tanks and the compressed air lines.
When working with compressed air, safety precautions must be constantly observed:
• Pay special attention to the pressure level in the compressed air network and pressure vessel!
• Connecting devices and equipment must either be designed for this pressure or, if the permitted
pressure for the connecting elements is lower than the pressure required, a pressure reducing
valve and safety valve (set to permitted pressure) must form an intermediate connection. Hose
coupling and connections must be securely attached!
• Always wear protective goggles when blowing off tools or extracting chips!
• The snout of the air nozzle is provided with a protective disc (e.g. rubber disc), which prevents
air-borne particles being reflected and thereby prevents injury to eyes.
• First shut off compressed air lines before compressed air equipment is disconnected from the
supply line or before equipment or tool is to be replaced!
• Unauthorized use of compressed air, e.g. forcing flammable liquids (danger class AI, AII
and B) out of containers, results in a risk of explosion!
• Forcing compressed air into thin-walled containers (e.g. containers made of tin, plastic and glass)
for drying purposes or to check for leaks, results in a risk of explosion!
• Do not blow dirty clothing with compressed air when being worn on the body.
Used oil
Used oil may contain health-threatening combustion residues.
Rub barrier cream into hands!
Wash hands after contact with used oil.

1.2.6 General information regarding the Tolerances and Wear Limits List
The tolerances and wear limits are intended as a guide for the examination of engine components
as well as for engine inspection and repair.
Explanation of terms for dimensions of new components
Tolerance size Designed size followd by a fit symbol (e.g. 24 H6) or by

the permissible dimensional deviation (e.g. 24 +0.013)
Basic size Designed size without fit symbol or permissible

dimensional deviation
Deviation Permissible deviation from the basic or tolerance size.

Deviation indicates the upper and lower limits of the
tolerance size/basic size.
Clearance Difference between bore and shaft diameter when bore

diameter is greater than shaft diameter
Interference Difference between bore and shaft diameter when bore

diameter is smaller than shaft diameter
Explanation of terms for reconditioning of components
Wear limit The wear limits specified do not represent the maximum
wear limits permissible for satisfactory component
operation. They indicate that the next major overhaul
can be reached safely. If a wear limit is exceeded, the
component must be replaced.

1.2.12 Transport
Transport
Lift the engine only with the lifting eyes provided.
Use only the transport and lifting equipment approved by MTU.
Take note of the engine center of gravity.
The engine must only be transported in installation position, max. permissible diagonal pull 10°.
In the case of special packaging with aluminium foil, suspend the engine on the lifting eyes of the
transport pallet or transport with equipment for heavy loads (forklift truck).
Prior to transporting the engine, it is imperative to install transport locking devices for crankshaft and engine mounts.
Secure the engine against tilting during transportation. The engine must be especially secured
against slipping or tilting when going up or down inclines and ramps.
Setting the engine down after transport
Place the engine only on an even, firm surface.
Ensure appropriate consistency and load-bearing capacity of the ground or support surface.
Never place an engine on the oil pan, unless expressively authorized by MTU on a case-to-case basis to do so.

2.2 Preface
General information
Operational availability, operational reliability and minimum operational and maintenance costs can only
be achieved if maintenance and repair work are carried out in accordance with MTU specifications.
The entire system into which the engine is integrated must be serviced in such a way that satisfactory
engine operation is guaranteed. This includes above all:
• fuel quality and quantity
• dry, clean combustion air
Preventive maintenance instructions:
• Always keep the machine system clean so that any leaks are detected in time, thus
preventing consequential damage.
• Protect rubber and synthetic parts from oil and fuel, never treat with organic detergents, only wipe with dry cloth.
• Always replace all seals and gaskets.
Your service partner is available at all times with support and advice if required.
MTU maintenance concept

The MTU maintenance concept is a preventive maintenance concept. Preventive maintenance enables
advance operational planning and secures high operational availability.
The maintenance schedule is base on the load profile specified below. The intervals after which maintenance
work is to be carried out as well as the prescribed inspection and maintenance work are the average result of
operational experience and therefore merely guide values. Specific operating conditions may require modifications
to the Maintenance Schedule. Exchange parts (reliabilt®) are available for components to be replaced.
Note
The maintenance task matrix covers all tasks up to a major overhaul. Maintenance work must
then be continued according to the specified intervals.
The task number specified in the task list is marked on the corresponding spare part and
is a reference for the required scope of parts.
The specification of the fluids and lubricants, the guidelines for maintenance and replacement intervals as well as
the list of recommended fluids and lubricants are to be found in the MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specifications
A001061 and in the fluids and lubricants specifications of the component manufacturers. Only use fluids and
lubricants that comply with the MTU specification or that are approved by the respective component manufacturer.
The user/customer must perform the following maintenance tasks:
• Fuel prefilter:
The maintenance interval depends on the fuel’s degree of contamination. Paper inserts of
fuel prefilters must be replaced after 2 years at the latest.
• Battery:
The maintenance of the batteries depends on their use and the ambient conditions. The
specifications of the battery manufacturer apply.
The manufacturer’s specifications are binding for the servicing of all components that are
not included in this maintenance schedule.
Out-of-service periods
If the engine is to remain out of service for more than 1 month, carry out engine preservation procedures
according to the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications, MTU Publication No. A001061.

2.11 Engine run-in

Run in engine after component replacement.
• When pistons, piston rings or cylinder liners are replaced, the engine must be run in
accordance with the applicable running-in schedule. Correct running in is decisive for the
service life and operational reliability of the engine.
• To destroy the braking energy, use the alternator or brake.
• Power must be transmitted from the engine to the brake by means of a resilient coupling.
Set engine operational values.
• Set temperatures, fuel and intake air in accordance with the temperature values in the
MTU Acceptance Test Record. Note the following:
• The coolant temperature depends on the operating range of the coolant thermostat.
• The fuel temperature depends on the volume of the service tank insofar as there is
no fuel-cooling device on the test stand.
• Record readings for power, fuel, oil, coolant, charge air and exhaust gas at each test point
(time, speed and effective power) of the run-in schedule and enter readings under “Engine
Run-in” in “MTU Diesel Engine Factory Test” record.

1 Slide layer
2 Barrier layer
3 Intermediate layer
4 Protective steel shell
Assessment
An important indicator for assessing the extent of wear on the bearing shell is the shape
and extent of the barrier layer areas exposed.
Wear of the bearing running surfaces starts at the galvanized slide layer (1).
A reduction of the slide layer contact surface to 70% significantly limits the usability of the bearing shell!
It is often difficult to differentiate between the nickel barrier and softer slide layer.
If in doubt, consult a bearing specialist.

Damage to bearing
Damage to bearings occurs mainly through foreign body scoring, impressions and embedding,
cavitation and corrosion, pitting, fatigue and installation faults.
Bearings showing such damage must be replaced.

(→ Page 164).
1 Slide layer
2 Barrier layer
3 Intermediate layer
4 Steel support shell
Assessment
An important indicator for assessing the extent of wear on the bearing shell is the shape
and extent of the blocking layer areas exposed.
Use of bearing shell is already restricted in friction area once the sliding layer is reduced to 70%!
It is often difficult to differentiate between the nickel barrier and softer slide layer.
If in doubt, consult a bearing specialist.
Damage to bearing
Damage to bearings occurs mainly through impressions and embedding, cavitation and
corrosion, pitting, fatigue and installation faults.
Bearings showing such damage must be replaced.

3.4 Cylinder Head
3.4.1 Valve-seat turning machine for cylinder head
Working principle of valve-seat turning machine
The valve-seat turning machine is an inside turning device. While the cutter (3) rotates around the valve-seat
(5), a feed gear mechanism ensures a continuous outward feed motion (1). The feed motion under the proper
valve-seat angle (4) is defined by an inclined slideway in the exchangeable adapter head.
M020127/02E 05-08 © MTU

Installing the solid pilot
Precondition:
Valve guide is installed and machined to finished dimension.
Valve guide was cleaned.
Cylinder head is securely clamped and valve guide accessible from both sides.
Mounting the supporting spider

To achieve maximum accuracy, the pilot must be supported by the supporting spider (7) below the valve seat. Slide
the supporting spider (7) over the pilot shaft to such position that the spring-loaded spider elements (1) rest just
below the valve seat level when the pilot is installed in the valve guide (4) and tighten the clamping screw (6).
Inserting the pilot into the valve guide
Remove clamping nut (3) from pilot and insert the threaded end of the pilot into the valve guide (4), until
the tapered portion (5) bears against the conical seating of the valve guide (4). The spring-loaded elements
(1) of the spider (7) will bear against the exhaust/inlet canal below the valve seat.
Locking the pilot
Screw clamping nut (3) onto the pilot and tighten with moderate force. Tighten the screws (6) on
top of the spider to lock the spring-loaded elements (1) of the spider (7). Apply standard machine
oil to the top and around the periphery of the pilot shaft.
M020127/02E 05-08 © MTU

Setting up valve turning machine
Mounting the cutter

Fit the appropriate tool holder of the cutter (8) with an indexable insert and attach to the tool slide (7).
Placing the valve-turning machine on the pilot
Take care that the cutter (8) does not bump against the cylinder head.
Slide the valve-seat cutting machine over the pilot (10) until either the depth stop (3) rests upon
the pilot (10) or the cutter (8) contacts the cylinder head.
Aligning the cutting edge with the valve-seat center
Turn rapid tool adjuster (11) to position cutting edge of cutter over the valve-seat center (9). Hold
the machine with one hand. Loosen screw (4) of depth stop (3) and allow machine to slide down
until the cutting edge contacts the valve seat (9) lightly. Push depth stop (3) slightly downward
against the pilot (10) and then tighten depth stop locking screw (4).
Connecting the machine to power supply
Insert the round plug of the outlet cable (6) of the power supply unit (5) into the corresponding socket
(1) on the driving assembly (2) and allow the securing latch to engage.
M020127/02E 05-08 © MTU

Valve seat turning
Positioning the cutter at the inner valve-seat edge

Slightly lift machine with one hand and then turn rapid tool adapter (11) with the other hand until the
cutting edge is just clear of the inner edge of the valve seat (10).
Setting cutting depth
To set the depth of cut, turn depth feed (3) counterclockwise. One notch of the depth-feed scale (4) corresponds
to a depth feed of 0.025 mm. As the valve seat (10) usually shows unequal wear, the depth of the first turning
cycle must be selected (max. 0.2 mm) to ensure that the entire valve-seat surface is undercut.
If the cutting edge is just scraping along the surface instead of undercutting the hard surface zone,
there is a risk of premature wear and chipping of the cutting edge.
Lubricating the valve seat
Apply a few drops of metalworking lubricant on hard valve-seat surfaces before turning.
Valve seat turning
Make sure that the pivoted lever (8) is engaged in the groove of the feed actuator (12). Select proper speed by
shifting the switch (6) at the power supply unit (5). Speed can be increased by changing over from 30 VDC to 42 VDC.
Hold driving unit (2) with both hands at the motors (1) and press pushbutton switch (7) to start the cutting pass.
Release the pushbutton switch (7) as soon as the cutter has been traversed beyond the top edge of the valve seat (10).
Repeating the cutting pass
Repeat steps with a cutting depth between 0.05 mm and 0.1 mm until the valve seat surface (10) is plane all around.
To ensure a smooth valve-seat surface (10) finish, proceed with a final pass at high speed with 0.025 mm cutting depth.
M020127/02E 05-08 © MTU

Replacing the adapter head
Removing the adapter head

Unscrew the two screws (1) from the adapter head (2).
Turn adapter head (2) in the direction of the arrow until the back of the toothed rack (4) is no longer engaged with
the pinion (4) in the gear housing (6). Now the adapter head can be withdrawn off the gear housing (6).
Mounting the adapter head
Place adapter head (2) onto gear housing (6) so that the pinion (5) projecting from the gear housing (6)
is seated in the corresponding bore of the adapter head (2).
The adapter head (2) must be seated flush with the gear housing (6).
Screw the two screws (1) loosely into the gear housing so that the adapter head (2) can still be moved
to adjust proper clearance between toothed rack (4) and pinion.
Adjust the adapter head so that the gap between the toothed side of the rack (4) and the opposite side of
the recess (3) is approximately 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. Tighten both screws (1).
Turn the rapid tool adjuster to move the tool slide back and forth. If tool slide does not
move freely, readjust the adapter head.

3.9.3 Intercooler – Cleaning

Remove intercooler (→ Page 393).
The intercooler must always only be cleaned by qualified personnel.
The following instructions are for the cleaning company.
Cleaning the air-side
Grease and oil contamination of the intercooler’s air-side is to be removed in a closed cleaning unit. The
cleaning agent must circulate in opposite direction to the cooling-air direction of flow.
It is imperative to avoid damaging the cooler, especially the cooling fins.
To remove the deposits, only use a cleaning agent that does not corrode metal surfaces
(→Fluids and Lubricants Specifications ).
Dwell time depends on the condition and temperature of the solution and the nature and stubbornness of the deposits.
Cleaning the waterside
It is recommended that the waterside be cleaned in a closed cleaning unit with forced flushing and filter.
The waterside can also be cleaned in an immersion- or ultrasonic bath.
To remove the deposits, only use a cleaning agent that does not corrode metal surfaces
(→Fluids and Lubricants Specifications ).
Dwell time depends on the condition and temperature of the solution and the nature and stubbornness of the deposits.
Flushing the intercooler
After cleaning the intercooler, flush coolant and air sides with fresh water, until the pH values of fresh water
and flushing liquid are almost the same (permitted pH value difference: 1 pH).
Intercooler drying and preservation
If the cooler is not to be put into operation immediately after cleaning, the cooler must be dried in
a drying oven for approx. 3 hours at a temperature of 110 to 120 °C.
After drying, the cooler must be preserved with a preservation agent.
