GENERAL

The TdV6 engine is a 2.7 litre, direct injection, six-cylinder diesel engine having two banks of three cylinders, arranged at 60 degrees to each other. There are 4 valves per cylinder, which are operated by two overhead camshafts per cylinder bank. The engine emission comply with ECD3 (European Commission Directive) legislative requirements and employs two catalytic converters, electronic engine management control, positive crankcase ventilation and exhaust gas recirculation to limit the emission of pollutants. The unit is water cooled and turbo-charged. The fuel injection system features common rail technology.

The cylinder block is manufactured in Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) and is coupled with a separate aluminium ladder frame to provide a lightweight, compact and very stiff bottom end of the engine. The cylinder heads are cast aluminium with a moulded plastic camshaft cover. The single-piece oil sump is formed from stamped steel. The cast iron exhaust manifolds are unique for each cylinder bank and a moulded plastic acoustic cover is fitted over the upper engine to reduce engine-generated noise.

Cylinder Block

The cylinders and crankcase are contained in the cylinder block, which is of single cast CGI construction with a hollow beam structure. With this type of construction less material is required than for a conventional cast iron block, therefore, reducing engine weight and length.

Piston Cooling Jets



1  - Bolt
2  - Piston cooling jet

Jets located in the cylinder block provide piston and gudgeon pin lubrication and cooling. These jets spray oil on to the inside of the piston, the oil then flows through two internal wave shaped channels to help cool each piston crown.

Lubrication oil is distributed through the cylinder block, via the main oil gallery and channels bored in the block, to all critical moving parts. These channels divert oil to the main and big-end bearings via holes machined into the crankshaft.

A tapping at the rear RH side of the cylinder block, below the RH cylinder head, connects a pipe to the turbocharger by means of a banjo connection. Oil is supplied, under pressure, via this tapping, from the oil pump to provide lubrication for the turbocharger bearings.

Cylinder cooling is achieved by coolant circulating through chambers in the cylinder block casting.

Two hollow metal dowels are used to locate the cylinder heads to the cylinder block, one on each side at the rear of the unit.

A port is included at the rear LH side of the ladder frame, below the turbocharger, to connect the turbocharger oil return pipe to the sump.

A plug sealing the lubrication cross-drilling gallery is located at the front RH side of the cylinder block. Plugs for the main lubrication gallery are included at the front and rear of the cylinder block.

Engine Data Locations



1  - Engine data locations

Engine data is marked at two locations at the back of the cylinder block. Component diameters are represented by alphabetical and numerical codes; keys to the codes are in the Service Repair Procedures (SRP) Manual.

Connecting Rods and Pistons



The connecting rods are manufactured from sinter-forged steel and have fracture-split bearing caps. The bearing caps are produced by fracturing the opposing sides of the connecting rod at the bearing horizontal centre-line. As well as being easier to manufacture, when reassembled the fractured surfaces interlock to form a strong seamless joint. The cylinder position is etched on adjoining sides of the joint to identify matching connecting rods and bearing caps. The selective connecting rod bearings are aluminium/tin split plain bearings. The connecting rod bearing is 'sputter coated', which is a manufacturing process that layers the bearing material to produce a higher load capacity for improved durability.

:
  The connecting rods are not selective.

Connecting Rod Installation



1  - Piston and connecting rod assembly, cylinders 4-6
2  - Piston and connecting rod assembly, cylinders 1-3
3  - Bolts
4  - Connecting rod bearing cap
5  - Connecting rod lower bearing

When installing a connecting rod, ensure the back of the connecting rod faces the centre of the 'vee'.

The pistons are made from aluminium alloy and are fitted with three rings. The piston crown incorporates a pronounced bowl; this forms the combustion chamber, which promotes swirl and turbulence necessary for good combustion and improved emissions. In addition, the piston skirt has a molybdenum-coated surface, which counteracts scoring of the cylinder bore and piston.

The piston also incorporates a double wave gallery within the piston crown to enhance piston cooling. The pistons are supplied oil by means of spray jets located in the cylinder block oil gallery. These jets ensure optimum piston cooling to counteract the high temperatures generated by the combustion process.

Each piston is installed on a wrist pin located in a aluminium/tin bushing in the connecting rod.

Piston Installation



When installing pistons ensure the arrows on the piston crowns all point to the front of the engine and the pistons are located in the correct cylinder banks, i.e. cylinders 1, 2, 3 or cylinders 4, 5, 6.

:
  All pistons are common single grade/single part number for all engines.

The piston top ring is a taper type and is fitted with the taper to the top of the piston. All rings marked 'top' are assembled with 'top' uppermost. All rings must be spaced evenly around the piston before installing. The circumference gap of the double bevelled oil control ring must be opposite the spiral control joint.

Crankshaft Position Sensor



The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located at the rear of the crankshaft, behind the flywheel in the LH side of the rear oil seal retainer. The sensor provides an input of engine crankshaft speed and position. The sensor works on the principle of the Hall effect and scans a trigger wheel (magnetic disc) on the crankshaft. An air gap of 0.4 to 1.5mm, between the trigger wheel and the CKP sensor, is achieved by the positional mounting of the sensor.   Electronic Engine Controls (303-14C Electronic Engine Controls - 2.7L Diesel)


Starter Motor

Crankshaft

The crankshaft is forged steel and fillet rolled with induction hardened journals, which run in four bearings with clamped two layer bearing shells.

The main bearing caps are double and cross-bolted, this adds to the strength and rigidity of the engine block.

The crankshaft drive pulley is not keyed onto the crankshaft; it is secured to the crankshaft by a single bolt.

:
  Under no circumstances must the crankshaft pulley be tightened or loosened with the timing belt fitted.

:
  Do not attempt to remove the crankshaft drive pulley unless you have the correct special crankshaft-locking tool.



1  - Housing
2  - Seal
3  - Crankshaft
4  - Rear oil seal retainer
5  - Bolt

The crankshaft rear oil seal is a press fit in the rear oil seal retainer. The rear oil seal retainer also houses the CKP sensor.



1  - CKP sensor trigger wheel

The trigger wheel is located on the rear of the crankshaft. It is pressed onto the crankshaft using a special tool, which also precisely aligns the trigger wheel for crankshaft position and timing. The trigger wheel consists of 60 magnets, minus 2 for ECM crankshaft position reference and synchronisation. The magnets cannot be seen on the trigger-wheel; therefore, it can only be positioned using the special tool.

The CKP sensor air gap is 0.4mm to 0.5mm there is no adjustment. The sensor bolts into the rear oil seal retainer and the tolerance on the retainer and sensor gives an air gap within the specified range.

:
  If the trigger wheel is removed for any reason, a new trigger wheel must be fitted. Do not reuse the old trigger wheel.



Main Bearings

The main bearings are aluminium/tin split plain selective bearings. An oil groove in the top half of each bearing transfers oil into the crankshaft for lubrication of the connecting rod bearings. The upper and lower shells of bearing number four contain integral thrust washers, which limits the end float of the crankshaft.

Ladder Frame



1  - Ladder frame

The ladder frame is fitted to the lower cylinder block to stiffen the base structure thus helping to reduce Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH). The frame is made of high-pressure die cast aluminium and also incorporates an oil baffle plate to reduce oil foaming and slosh.

The ladder frame is secured to the cylinder block with 2 dowels, 2 locator pins for the gasket and 18 retaining bolts; three different lengths of bolts are used:

Iron inserts, cast into the main bearing supports of the ladder frame, minimise main bearing clearance changes due to heat expansion.

A gasket seals the joint between the ladder frame and the cylinder block.

A port for the oil level gauge tube is included in the casting on the LH side of the ladder frame.

An oil pick-up pipe with integral strainer locates in the front of the ladder frame to provide oil to the crankshaft driven oil pump.

Sump

The sump consists of a pressed steel oil pan bolted to the aluminium alloy ladder frame with 14 M6 x 16 bolts. The engine oil drain plug and the oil temperature sensor are located at the rear left corner of the sump.

A reusable gasket seals the joint between the oil pan and the ladder frame; a bead of sealant seals the joint between the sump and the ladder frame.

Oil Temperature Sensor

The engine oil temperature sensor is located at the rear left corner of the sump. The sensor provides the ECM and the instrument pack with the engine oil temperature status.

The sensor circuit consists of an internal voltage divider circuit which, incorporates an Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor. As the engine oil temperature rises the resistance through the sensor decreases and visa versa. The output from the sensor is the change in voltage, as the thermistor allows more current to pass to earth relative to the temperature of the oil.   Electronic Engine Controls (303-14C Electronic Engine Controls - 2.7L Diesel)


Rear Oil Seal Retainer

The crankshaft rear oil seal retainer is attached to the rear of the cylinder block by ten bolts and is sealed with a rubber seal. The retainer also houses the crankshaft position sensor.

Dual Mass Flywheel

On vehicles with manual transmission, the dual mass flywheel is bolted on the rear of the crankshaft with eight bolts. A dowel on the crankshaft flange ensures that the flywheel is correctly located. A ring gear is fitted on the outer diameter of the flywheel. The ring gear is not serviceable.

The dual mass flywheel is used to insulate the gearbox from torsional and transient vibrations produced by the engine.   Clutch (308-01 Clutch - 2.7L Diesel)

Cylinder Heads



The aluminium gravity die cast cylinder heads are unique to each cylinder bank. Eight deep-seated bolts, to reduce distortion, secure each cylinder head to the cylinder block. The cylinder head bolts are located beneath the camshafts, four under the inlet camshaft and four under the exhaust camshaft. Two hollow dowels align each cylinder head with the cylinder block.

:
  The cylinder head bolts are not accessible with the camshafts fitted.

:
  The cylinder head cannot be reworked.

The cylinder head has four ports machined at each cylinder location, two exhaust ports and two inlet ports. One of the inlet ports is helical and functions as a swirl port, the other is arranged laterally as a tangential port and functions as a charge port.

The six fuel injection nozzles are centrally mounted; one above each cylinder and each is fixed to the cylinder head by means of a clamp and two M6 x 35 bolts.   Electronic Engine Controls (303-14C Electronic Engine Controls - 2.7L Diesel)
  Fuel Charging and Controls (303-04C Fuel Charging and Controls - 2.7L Diesel)

2  - Glow plugs

The glow plugs are arranged centrally on the inlet side of the cylinder head, between the two inlet ports of each cylinder.   Electronic Engine Controls (303-14C Electronic Engine Controls - 2.7L Diesel)




1  - Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor

The CMP sensor locates through a hole in a flange on the front LH side of the LH cylinder head. The exhaust camshaft gear of the LH cylinder head incorporates a trigger wheel, which is used in conjunction with the sensor to measure engine position.   Electronic Engine Controls (303-14C Electronic Engine Controls - 2.7L Diesel)


The engine lifting eyes are bolted to the cylinder head, one at the front and two at the rear, one per cylinder head.

Camshaft Covers



1  - Stud bolt M6 x 40, 6 of
2  - Bolt M6 x 40, 7 of
3  - Oil filler aperture
4  - RH camshaft cover assembly

The camshaft covers are manufactured from vinyl ester composite. The RH bank camshaft cover incorporates an outlet for the full load engine breather and the engine oil filler cap. The LH bank camshaft cover incorporates an outlet for the part load engine breather.   Engine Emission Control (303-08C Engine Emission Control - 2.7L Diesel)


Silicon rubber in-groove gaskets seal the joints between the camshaft covers and the cylinder heads. Together with spacers and seals on the camshaft cover fasteners, they also isolate the covers from direct contact with the cylinder heads, to reduce noise.

Cylinder Head Gasket

The cylinder head gasket is a three-layer, laminated steel type and is available in five different thickness. The choice of gasket thickness is dependent on the maximum piston protrusion. Gasket thickness is identified by serrations cut into the front end of the gasket.

Gasket Selection Table

Piston Protrusion (mm) Gasket Thickness (mm) Identification
0.541 - 0.590 1.12 1
0.591 - 0.640 1.17 2
0.641 - 0.690 1.22 3
0.691 - 0.740 1.27 4
0.741 - 0.790 1.32 5

To calculate the correct cylinder head gasket thickness, each piston must be measured at two points, with an average of the two measurements taken to determine the piston protrusion. The highest of the three measurements will determine the gasket required for that particular cylinder head.

:
  The difference between the maximum and minimum protrusion measurement in any one bank should not be greater than 0.1mm. It is permissible to have a different grade of gaskets between the LH and RH banks.



Camshafts

The camshafts are of a hollow steel tube construction, with pressed on sintered lobes. Each camshaft is retained by aluminium alloy caps, five for the exhaust camshafts and four for the inlet camshafts. Location letters, A to I for the intake camshaft and R to Z for the exhaust camshaft, are marked on the outer faces of the caps for each cylinder head.

The LH cylinder bank exhaust camshaft is machined to accept a rear camshaft gear. The rear camshaft gear provides drive for High Pressure (HP) fuel pump, located centrally at the rear of the 'vee', via a short-toothed belt and tensioner pulley.

The RH cylinder head exhaust camshaft is machined at the rear end to provide a drive connection for the vacuum pump.

:
  The camshaft drive sprockets also form the thrust faces for the camshaft endfloat. In production the endfloat is 0.065mm to 0.185mm. In service, if the endfloat is out of specification, the camshaft(s) or cylinder head(s) may have to be replaced.

C  - Water outlet housing assembly, bleed valve

The water outlet assembly connects the cooling channels of the cylinder block to the cooling channels of the LH and RH cylinder heads and provides the coolant outlet for the EGR and coolant return.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM

General

Oil is drawn from the reservoir in the oil pan and pressurised by the oil pump. The output from the oil pump is then filtered and distributed through internal oil passageways.

All moving parts are lubricated by pressure or splash oil. Pressurised oil is also provided for operation of the hydraulic adjusters and the timing gear chain tensioners.

The engine is lubricated by a force-feed oil circulation system with a full flow oil filter. The oil cooler forms a unit with the oil filter and fuel cooler, which is mounted centrally in the middle of the cylinder block between the two banks of cylinders. The engine oil is cooled using the engine cooling system. The eliminates the need for an additional engine oil cooler remotely mounted.

The fuel cooler, which forms part of the oil filter body, is also cooled by engine coolant. In addition there is a further fuel cooler in the return line to the fuel tank.

The oil returns to the oil pan under gravity. Large drain holes through the cylinder heads and cylinder block ensure the quick return of the oil, reducing the volume of oil required and enabling an accurate check of the contents soon after the engine stops.

System replenishment is through the oil filler cap on the RH camshaft cover.

With the exception of the pump and level gauge, all oil system components are installed on the sump.

Oil Pick-up

The moulded composite oil pick-up is immersed in the oil reservoir to provide a supply to the oil pump during all normal vehicle attitudes. The castellated inlet allows the supply to be maintained even if the sump pan is deformed (e.g. by 'grounding'). A mesh screen in the inlet prevents debris from entering the oil system.

Oil Pump



1  - Oil pump
2  - Bolt

The oil pump is a gear type pump and is bolted and dowelled to the front of the engine block. It is sealed by means of a rubber gasket, which is recessed into the oil pump housing. The pump inlet and outlet ports align with oil passages in the ladder frame.

The pumping element is an eccentric rotor, which is directly driven by flats on the crankshaft. An integral pressure relief valve regulates pump outlet pressure at 4.5 Bar (65.25 Psi).

The front crankshaft oil seal is housed in the oil pump casing and is fitted such that its front face is 1mm underflush with the machined front face of the oil pump.

:
  The seal is not to be pushed all the way into the bore as this will block the seal drains.



Oil Filter

The oil filter is a replaceable cartridge installed on an adapter in the centre of the 'vee'. An internal bypass facility permits full flow bypass if the filter is blocked.

:
  In service care must be taken when removing the oil filter to minimise oil drips and spillage into the engine 'vee' and cam covers:
  • Do not use air/power tools
  • Unscrew oil filter cap 4-5 turns
  • Leave for a minimum of 1 minute to allow to drain
  • Remove cap, ensuring minimal oil spillage
  • Replace oil filter element into the cap (can only be fitted in one direction)
  • Replace cap and torque to specification.



Oil Pressure Switch



1  - Oil pressure switch

The oil pressure switch, located in the 'vee' at the front of the LH cylinder head, connects a ground input to the instrument cluster when oil pressure is present. The switch operates at a pressure of 0.15 to 0.41 Bar (2.2 to 5.9 Psi).

Oil Level Gauge

The oil level gauge locates midway along the LH side of the oil pan, supported in a tube installed in the ladder frame. Two holes in the end of the gauge indicate the minimum and maximum oil levels. There is a difference of approximately 1 litre (1 US quart) between the two levels.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD



1  - LH exhaust manifold
2  - RH exhaust manifold

The exhaust manifolds are cast from steel alloy and are unique for each cylinder bank. They are sealed to the cylinder head by means of a steel gasket. Sacrificial plastic sleeves are used to align the manifolds. These sleeves must be changed when refitting the manifolds. Spacers on the securing bolts allow the manifolds to expand and retract with changes of temperature while maintaining the clamping loads.

Each manifold has a connection for the EGR transfer pipe.

The engine is fitted with a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), which is fixed to the exhaust manifold by a three hole flange with a steel gasket.

Crossover Pipe



A crossover pipe carries the exhaust gasses from the RH exhaust manifold to the turbocharger on the LH exhaust manifold. The crossover pipe is located at the rear of the engine and is routed across the top of the transmissions bell housing.
