DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CYLINDER BLOCK
The cylinders and crankcase are contained in a single cast iron construction. The cylinders are direct bored and
plateau honed with lubrication oil supplied via lubrication jets for piston and gudgeon pin lubrication and cooling. It
is not possible to rebore the cylinder block if the cylinders become worn or damaged. Three metal core plugs are
fitted to the three centre cylinders on the right hand side of the cylinder block.
Lubrication oil is distributed throughout the block via the main oil gallery to critical moving parts through channels
bored in the block which divert oil to the main and big-end bearings via oil holes machined into the crankshaft. Oil
is also supplied from the cylinder block main gallery to the five lubrication jets which cool and lubricate the piston
and gudgeon pins. Plugs are used to seal both ends of the main oil gallery at front and rear of the engine block.
An oil cooler is fitted to the LH side of the engine block; ports in the oil cooler assembly mate with ports in the
cylinder block to facilitate coolant flow. Oil is diverted through the oil cooler, centrifuge filter and full-flow filter
before supplying the main oil gallery. A tapping in the oil filter housing provides a lubrication source for the
turbocharger bearings and an oil pressure switch is included in a tapping in the oil cooler housing which
determines whether sufficient oil pressure is available to provide engine lubrication and cooling.
Cylinder cooling is achieved by water circulating through chambers in the engine block casting. A threaded coolant
jacket plug is located at the front RH side of the cylinder block.
Cast brackets are bolted to both sides of the engine block for mounting the engine to the chassis on the LH and
RH hydramount studs.
The gearbox bolts directly to the engine block; a gearbox shim plate is located between the adjoining faces of the
gearbox and the flywheel side of the engine block and is fixed to the rear of the engine block by two bolts. Two
hollow metal dowels locate the rear of the cylinder block to the shim plate. The gearbox casing provides the
mounting for the starter motor.
A port is included at the rear left hand side of the cylinder block which connects to the turbocharger oil drain pipe
to return lubrication oil to the sump. A plug sealing the lubrication cross-drilling gallery is located at the front right
hand side of the cylinder block and plugs for the main lubrication gallery are located at the front and rear of the
cylinder block. Two plastic dowels are used to locate the cylinder head to the cylinder block and must be replaced
every time the cylinder head is removed from the cylinder block.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Oil filters
The Td5 engine features two types of oil filter; the main filter is a standard disposable cartridge-type full flow oil
filter which is augmented with a by-pass centrifuge filter used to filter out particulate matter having a smaller
diameter smaller than 15 micron but greater than 3 micron.

3.Centrifuge filter housing
4.Centrifuge filter drain pipe
5.Port - centrifuge filter drain pipe to sump6.Filter rotor
7.Internal seal
8.Cover
9.Cover screws (2 off)
The centrifuge filter is located on the left hand side of the engine block by the exhaust manifold and is housed in a
pot which is bolted to the oil cooler housing by means of three bolts. The pot contains a rotor located on a central
spindle which spins at up to 15,000 rev/min when oil is flowing through the unit under pressure. The rotor contains
two fine holes drilled at obtuse angles which cause the rotor to spin about the centre spindle when high pressure
oil is passing through it. The inner surface of the rotor captures carbon deposits and small particulate matter as it
is thrown outwards under centrifugal force to form a sludge on the inner walls of the rotor. The unit is able to trap
very fine impurities that build up in the oil that would be too small to filter using the normal paper-element type
full-flow filters alone.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CRANKSHAFT, SUMP AND OIL PUMP
The crankshaft, sump and oil pump components are described below:
Sump
The sump is a wet-type, of aluminium construction and is sealed to the engine block by means of a rubber gasket
and twenty fixing bolts. The four bolts at the gearbox end of the sump are longer than the other sixteen bolts.
The sump gasket incorporates compression limiters (integrated metal sleeves) at the bolt holes, which are
included to prevent distortion of the gasket when the sump to cylinder block bolts are being tightened.
An oil drain plug is fitted at the bottom of the oil sump reservoir. An oil return drain pipe is also attached to the oil
sump which returns oil from the centrifugal filter.
Stiffener Plate
The stiffener plate assembly provides lower engine block rigidity and utilises dowels to align it to the bottom of the
cylinder block. A rotary oil pump is integral with the stiffener plate and an oil pick-up and strainer assembly is fitted
to the underside of the stiffener plate. The stiffener and oil pump assembly is secured to the cylinder block by 22
bolts.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Fuel connector block
Type A - Non EU3 Models - Engine Serial No. Prefixes 10P to 14P
Type B - EU3 Models - Engine Serial No. Prefixes 15P to 19P
1.Fuel connector block assembly
2.Outlet stub pipe
3.Stub pipe - to fuel cooler4.Fuel temperature sensor
5.Fuel pressure regulator
6.Spill return fuel connection (EU3 models only)
A cast and machined aluminium alloy fuel connector block assembly is located at the rear RH side of the cylinder
head, attached by three flanged bolts. A metal gasket is used to seal the faces between the fuel connector block
and the cylinder head, which must be replaced every time the fuel connector block is removed.
CAUTION: The cylinder head incorporates drillings for the fuel injection system, any
contamination which enters these drillings could cause engine running problems or injector
failure. It is therefore, essential that absolute cleanliness is maintained when carrying out work on
the cylinder head.
CAUTION: The valve heads, tips of the injectors and glow plugs protrude below the face of the
cylinder head and will be damaged if the cylinder head is stored face down.
Camshaft carrier
The cast aluminium alloy camshaft carrier is bolted to the cylinder head by thirteen screws. The camshaft carrier
and cylinder head assembly is attached to the cylinder block by twelve cylinder head retaining bolts which pass
through the camshaft carrier and the cylinder head to secure the assembly to the cylinder block.
The carrier is machined together with the cylinder head to form a matched pair for carrying the camshaft.
Non-return valve
A non-return valve is located at the front, bottom LH side of the cylinder head. The non-return valve prevents oil
from draining from the lash adjusters and is an integral component within the cylinder head and is
non-serviceable.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CAMSHAFT COVER COMPONENTS
The camshaft cover cover components are described below:
Camshaft cover
The camshaft cover is cast from aluminium alloy and is fixed to the camshaft carrier / cylinder head assembly by
thirteen bolts. The cover has spacers and sealing washers inserted into each of the thirteen bolt holes.
A breather hose is connected to a port at the top of the camshaft cover by means of a hose clip which vents
crankcase gases back to the air intake via a breather valve in the air intake tract, located forward of the
turbocharger in the flexible air intake duct.
A rubber seal is fitted between the camshaft cover and camshaft carrier.
An oil filler aperture is included in the top of the camshaft cover, which is sealed with a plastic cap with integral
rubber seal.
CAMSHAFT TIMING CHAIN COMPONENTS
The timing chain cover and timing chain components are described below:
Timing chain cover
The timing chain cover is cast and machined aluminium alloy and is attached to the cylinder head by a bolt at the
RH top of the cover and by a stud and nut at the LH top of the cover. Eight screws are used to attach the timing
chain cover to the front of the engine block. The timing cover is located to the cylinder block front face by two
dowels.
A viscous fan is attached to an idler pulley at the front of the engine block. The fan bearing is located on a shaft
and held in place by a circlip and a bearing flange, the inner race of the fan bearing is an interference fit on the
shaft. The fan idler pulley is attached to the bearing hub by three bolts and the fan itself is secured to the pulley
and bearing shaft by a left-hand threaded nut.
The front of the crankshaft passes through a hole in the lower part of the timing cover. An oil seal is pressed into a
recess in the front of the timing cover to seal the interface between the front of the crankshaft and the timing
cover.
A stub pipe is fitted to the front RH side of the timing cover which is used to attach the oil drain pipe from the
vacuum pump by means of a hose and spring clip.
Timing chains
The timing chain between the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets is a duplex type, each chain having 56 links.
The timing chain is contained between a fixed plastic guide and an hydraulically adjustable plastic tensioner arm
which are attached to the front of the engine block.
To cope with the higher injection loads of the EU3 engine, the timing drive between the camshaft and crankshaft
has been upgraded. This requires thicker chain links to be used, therefore the individual pre EU3 and EU3
components are not interchangeable.
To distinguish between the two timing chains the links are different colours. A pre EU3 chain has blue links. An
EU3 chain has bronze links.
The oil pump timing chain is a single type and traverses the oil pump sprocket and the rear crankshaft sprocket.
The timing chains are oil lubricated, with oil being provided by a chain lubrication jet and from oil flow returning
back to the sump from the cylinder head. An oil hole is included at the front left hand side of the cylinder head
which supplies oil from the cylinder head oil galleries.
