DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Camshaft
The camshaft is machined from cast steel and is located between the cylinder head and the camshaft carrier and
the six bearing journals are line bored between the two components to form a matched pair. The machined
camshaft has 15 lobes. Ten lobes operate the inlet and exhaust valves through hydraulic lash adjusters and finger
followers which are located below the camshaft. Five larger lobes activate the injector rockers which are located
above the camshaft on the rocker shaft and are used to generate fuel pressure in the EUI injectors.
The camshaft sprocket is driven via a Duplex chain connected to the crankshaft sprocket at a speed ratio of 2:1.
The camshaft sprocket is fixed to the front end of the camshaft by three bolts.
Camshaft lubrication is by splash and channel fed via pressurised oil flowing through galleries in the cylinder head.

2.Rocker shaft
3.Rocker arm
4.EUI pin and roller assembly
5.Roller pin retention slug6.Camshaft lobe
7.Injector spring
8.Injector push-rod
9.Adjusting nut
The hollow rocker shaft is located in the camshaft carrier in six fixed mountings which sit above the camshaft. Six
bolts are used to lock the rocker shaft to the camshaft carrier. The front rocker shaft bearing has a ring dowel
located at the front rocker shaft mounting of the camshaft carrier for rocker shaft alignment. Two circlips hold each
rocker arm in position at the relevant positions on the rocker shaft.
CAUTION: The rocker shaft from a pre EU3 engine must not be fitted to an EU3 engine. This is
because the stroke of the EU3 injector has increased which requires the rocker to articulate over a
larger angle.
The camshaft end of each rocker arm features a roller which is free to rotate about a pin which passes through
two webs in the rocker arm, the roller pins are held in place by an interference fit retention slug passing through a
hole in the front web of each rocker arm.
To correctly function against the higher loads of the EU3 engine the geometry of the contact between the injector
pushrod and rocker arm adjusting screw has been modified. Both designs of adjusting screw are separately
available, with the EU3 version identified by an engraved dimple on the slotted end.
Rocker shaft and rocker arm lubrication is by splash and channel fed via pressurised oil flowing through galleries
in the cylinder head and through the rocker shaft.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Front pipe assembly
The front pipe is of welded and fabricated tubular construction. The front pipe is connected to a flange on the
turbocharger and secured with three flanged nuts and sealed with a metal laminated gasket. The front pipe
incorporates a flexible pipe near the connection with the turbocharger and terminates in a flanged connection with
the intermediate pipe.
The flexible pipe is formed into a concertina shape with woven metal strands around its outer diameter. The
flexible pipe allows for ease of exhaust system alignment and also absorbs engine vibration. The woven metal
strands also increase the longevity of the flexible pipe.
The front pipe is attached via a bracket and a mounting rubber to the chassis. The mounting rubber allows ease of
alignment and vibration absorption.
Intermediate pipe and silencer
The intermediate pipe is of welded and fabricated tubular construction. It connects at its forward end to the front
pipe flange. Two captive studs on the intermediate pipe flange allow for attachment to the front pipe with locknuts.
The rear section of intermediate pipe connects to the tail pipe assembly via a flanged joint, sealed with a metal
gasket and secured with locknuts and studs.
The forward and rear sections are joined by a silencer. The silencer is fabricated from stainless steel sheet to form
the body of the silencer. An end plate closes each end of the silencer and is attached to the body with seam joints.
Perforated baffle tubes, inside the silencer, are connected to the inlet and outlet pipes on each end plate. Internal
baffle plates support the baffle tubes and, together with a stainless steel fibre packing, absorb combustion noise
as the exhaust gases pass through the silencer.
The intermediate pipe is attached by two brackets, positioned at each end of the silencer, and two mounting
rubbers to the chassis. The mounting rubber allows for ease of alignment and vibration absorption.
Tail pipe assembly
The tail pipe is of welded and fabricated construction. The tail pipe connects to the intermediate pipe with a
flanged joint secured with locknuts and sealed with a metal gasket. The pipe is shaped to locate above the rear
axle allowing clearance for axle articulation. The pipe is also curved to clear the left hand side of the fuel tank
which has a reflective shield to protect the tank from heat generated from the pipe.
A fabricated silencer is located at the rear of the tail pipe. The silencer is circular in section and is constructed from
stainless steel sheet. A baffle tube is located inside the silencer and the space around the baffle tube is packed
with a stainless steel fibre. The holes in the baffle tube allow the packing to further reduce combustion noise from
the engine. The tail pipe from the silencer is curved downwards at the rear of the vehicle and directs exhaust
gases towards the ground. The curved pipe allows the exhaust gases to be dissipated by the airflow under the
vehicle and prevents the gases from being drawn behind the vehicle.
The tail pipe is attached by a bracket, positioned forward of the silencer, and a mounting rubber to the chassis.
The mounting rubber allows ease of alignment and vibration absorption.
