Cylinder head The cylinders have separate cylinder heads, which are interchangeable and bolted to the cylinder block by four 3/4" bolts per cylinder head. Having separate cylinder heads is not only technically advantageous with regard to sealing between cylinder head and cylinder block, it also makes servicing easier. Sealing against the cylinder block consists of a special groove in the cylinder head face, a steel gasket and a stepped edge on the cylinder liner collar.
The valve mechanism for each cylinder head consists – an inlet valve and an outlet valve – valve guides – double valve springs with washers and valve locks – rocker arms with adjusting screws – rocker arm shaft with bearing brackets –...
Cleaning Disassemble the cylinder head. Clean all the parts and the cylinder block contact surface. Rust and carbon deposits, etc., must be removed from the bolt holes and threads in the cylinder block and cyl- inder head. Paint and dirt must be removed from cylinder head sur- faces in contact with bolt heads otherwise there is risk of leakage and damage to seals and gaskets.

Description Upper cylinder liner seat The cylinder block is one-piece cast of special alloy. Stresses on the cylinder head bolts from combustion pressure are transmited via reinforced ribbing in the cylinder block walls directly to the main bearings. The DH10A engine has a drilling and nozzles for pis- ton cooling.

Crankshaft The crankshaft is either nitro-carburized or induction- hardened (both alternatives exist). It has a new rear 14- bolt flange against the flywheel (previously 10 bolts). The crankshaft is single-piece forged in special steel. The bearing surfaces are nitro-carburized to increase strength and reduce risk of cracks.
Cylinder liner seats Checking Coolant will leak if the cylinder liner seats and /or the underside of the cylinder liner collars are cor- roded.

Crankshaft Checking Prior to any machining, check the crankshaft for cracks. Seizure can cause overheat cracks, which can only be detected by using special equipment. The recommended test involves using a magnetic powder, type MAGNAGLO, which is fluorescent and is scrutinized under ultraviolet light. For pow- der type, concentration, current and magnetizing, follow the instructions of the manufacturer.
Straightening the crankshaft To assess straightness, the crankshaft must be support- ed under main bearings 1 and 7 and main bearing 4 checked for out-of-round. Below 0.2 mm No straightening. Between 0.2 Careful straightening, not more and 0.7 mm than necessary. Above 0.7 mm Replace crankshaft.

Page 83
The oil pump is of the gear type and has three pump units. The front unit functions as an oil delivery pump and the other two as scavenging pumps. They all pump the oil back to the oil tank via the oil cooler. The oil pumps are gear-driven from the crankshaft via an inter- mediate drive gear.
Page 84
The piston-cooling valve is normally closed at low en- gine speed, this to prevent the oil pressure from drop- ping at low idle. As engine speed increases, the piston- cooling valve opens to direct the oil to six calibrated nozzles, one under each piston.

Fuel System Electromagnetic governor Feed pump Stop device Injection pump setting values, chiefly fuel flow and pre-injection angle, differs for the various engine types. The reason for this is that these values are adapted to the properties that the engine has with regard to emis- sions and power output.
Page 91
Pump camshaft The feed pump supplies the injection pump with fuel under pressure. Fuel flows through the fuel filters be- fore reaching the injection pump. Push rod The pump camshaft pressing down the piston causes the pump chamber in the feed pump to fill with fluid. When the cam has passed its highest point and the pis- ton spring presses back the piston, the pump discharges the fuel.
Page 92
Injection pump D10A THD104 Differences The delivery valves have been replaced by damper valves in order to maintain a higher pressure at the in- jectors, without having to raise the injection pump pressure. The delivery valve holders (delivery pipe connections) are now longer and have only one damper valve.
The governor adjuster device (1) is placed in the gov- ernor housing end and consists of an electromagnet that works directly against the injection pump control rod. The control rod position sensor (2A and 2B) gives the control unit the opportunity of deciding if current to the adjuster device should be increased or decreased.
Page 94
Function The injection timer alters the -angle to suit operating The value of a and b can be seen from the following conditions, see diagram below. When there is no cur- table: rent in the solenoid valve, the engine -angle is the same as the basic setting value (a).

Description The intake system for the air is entirely separated from the fuel system. It consists of four main parts: – air intake with inlet pipe – air cleaner – turbocompressor – inlet manifold with starting pre-heater (including intercooler on engines with intercooler). The start- ing pre-heater is optional, so it may not be fitted on some engines.
Intercooler All the DH10A-engines have the single-circuit type in- tercooler with a separate cooling circuit, radiator and pump. The intercooler lowers the temperature of the inlet air and this has a better effect on engine power. The sys- tem cools the inlet air down to approx. 60°C. Concern- ing pressure testing and description of the coolant cir- cuits, refer to “Cooling system”.
Starting pre-heater Troubleshooting An indicator lamp lights when the starting pre-heater is engaged. Should it light during testing, the fault is in the power supply circuit or in the operating circuit. But first check the fuses and also relay 312. If cable failure or short-circuit is suspected, carry out the following checks: Engage the starting pre-heater and feel with the...
Switch off the electric circuits when about to replace the starting pre-heater! Intercooler housing Gasket Heating coil Starting pre-heater housing Replacing heating coil Remove the intercooler housing and starting pre-heater housing as a complete unit. Separate these housings on the work bench in order to get at the coil. This procedure makes it easier to align correctly the in- tercooler assembly with the starting pre-heater housing gasket.
Turbocompressor General Use is made of the engine exhaust gases to drive the The turbine wheel and compressor wheel are mounted turbocompressor turbine wheel. on the same shaft. When the compressor wheel rotates, it sucks air in from the air cleaner, the turbocompressor compresses it and presses it through the intercooler to the engine.

Make sure all areas adjacent to wheels and housings are free from deposits, are clean and smooth. Let the parts seep in the cleaner until deposits drop off.

Checking, cont. A damaged shaft with scored bearing surfaces must not be refitted. Minor scratches are acceptable. A damaged turbine or compressor wheel must always be replaced. Do not try to straighten out a deformed blade. The housing should be replaced if it has cracks or has been exposed to overheating.
Turbocompressor To intercooler DH10A, 245, 285 From air cleaner To exhaust system From exhaust manifold The turbocompressor on engine DH10A, 245 and 285, has a wastegate function that limits charge pressure at high power output. The wastegate-shutter functions as a by-pass valve for the exhaust turbine. The shutter is activated by a pressure box that, together with a hose connection, senses the charge pressure in the compres- sor housing.

Turbocompressor, repairs Important! Refers to repairs to turbo on DH10A, 245, 285. The wastegate with pressure box and bracket is not to be removed from the turbine housing. Nor is the lock nut on the push rod to be released. But, if it has to be released, the push rod must be adjusted, in which case refer to Checking wastegate opening pressure.

Exhaust Pressure Governor (EPG) The engine has been fitted with an exhaust pressure governor (EPG) the function of which is to provide cleaner exhaust gases while the engine is warming up.When the parking brake is on and coolant temper- ature is below 70°C, the governor shutter closes off the exhaust gases so that the engine works against a certain backpressure and this reduces hydrocarbon emissions and white smoke.
Cooling system – description The function of the cooling system is to cool the en- the engine oil temperature. Two piston type main ther- gine, and if the bus has a separate hydraulic retarder or emostats regulate the engine coolant temperature. The retarder built into the gearbox, also the oil for the re- system also has two other thermostats: a heating sys- tarder or gearbox.

Main thermostat The thermostat housing contains two thermostats for maintaining temperature in the engine cooling circuit and one thermostat for the bus interior heating system. If the bus does not have an hydraulic retarder or auto- matic transmission with oil cooler, their connections 2 and 3 on the thermostat housing are inter-coupled with a pipe elbow and the housing has only one vent hose.
The pressure valve, which is placed in the tube be- tween the thermostat housing and the coolant pump, increases the pressure in the inner circuit when the main thermostat is closed, especially at low engine speed. This improves circulation in the heating system circuits.
