12-1-22 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
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.
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.
The camshaft is located between the cylinder head and the camshaft carrier, and the bearing journals are line bored
between the two components to form a matched pair.
CAUTION: Always fit plugs to open connections to prevent contamination.
The valve guides and valve seat inserts are sintered components which are interference fit to the cylinder head. The
cylinder head machining also provide the locations for the electronic unit injectors, glow plugs, hydraulic lash
adjusters, finger followers and low pressure fuel rail.
Cooling to the cylinder head is provided by coolant flow through a water jacket machined into the cylinder head.
Drillings through the block provide lubrication channels for pressurised oil supply to cylinder head components such
as the lash adjusters, finger followers, rocker arms and camshaft bearings.
A coolant outlet elbow is fitted to the front LH side of the cylinder head to allow flow of coolant from the cylinder head
back to the radiator. A metal gasket is used to seal the joint between the water outlet elbow and the cylinder head. A
coolant temperature sensor is located in a port in the side of the water outlet elbow for monitoring coolant temperature.
A stub pipe is connected at the front RH side of the cylinder block above the timing cover which connects a pipe to
supply oil to the vacuum pump. The timing chain tensioner adjuster is screwed in a thread in the cylinder head at a
location on the front RH side of the engine below the oil feed port for the vacuum pump.
An access hole for the camshaft gear is included at the front of the cylinder head which is sealed with a plastic plug
and rubber 'O'-ring. A press-fit core plug for the chain chest is located on the front face of the cylinder head.
A press-fit core plug for the cylinder head water jacket is located at the rear of the cylinder head and a threaded brass
plug for the water jacket is located on the LH side of the cylinder head beneath the exhaust manifold assembly.

6Spill fuel return connection (EU3 models only)
A cast and machined 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.

12-1-24 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 is sprocket 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 splash and channel fed via pressurised oil flowing through galleries in the cylinder head.

8Injector push-rod
9Adjusting 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.
The rocker shaft from a pre EU3 model 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 injection 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 being identified by an engraved dimple in the slotted end.
Rocker shaft and rocker arm lubrication is splash and channel fed via pressurised oil flowing through galleries in the
cylinder head and through the rocker shaft.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 12-1-25
Inlet and exhaust valves
The inlet and exhaust valves are mounted directly above the engine block cylinders.
Each valve is a forged and ground solid one-piece head and stem which is hardened by heat treatment. The stems
are chrome-plated then ground for improved heat transfer, wear resistance and smooth operation. It is not possible
to recut the valve's face angle, but the valves can be lapped to their seats using grinding paste.
The valve springs are made from spring steel and are of the parallel single-coil type. The bottom end of the spring
rests on the flange of a spring seal which has a centre bore that locates on a recess ground into the lower valve stem.
The top end of the spring is held in place by a spring retainer which is held in position at the top end of the valve stem
by split taper collets. The taper collets have grooves on the internal bore that locate to grooves ground into the upper
stems of the valves.
The valve seats and valve guides are sintered and are interference fit into the cylinder head. The valve seats and
guides are non-serviceable.
Finger followers and Lash adjusters
1Valve stem
2Finger follower
3Lash adjuster plunger
4Oil supply hole
5Lash adjuster body
The valves are operated through finger followers and lash adjusters, actuated by the camshaft lobes. When the
camshaft lobe presses down on the top of a finger follower roller mechanism, the respective valve is forced down
opening the effected inlet or exhaust port.
The lash adjuster body contains a plunger and two chambers for oil feed and pressurised oil. Pressurised oil is
supplied to the lash adjusters via the oil galleries in the cylinder head and through a hole in the side of the lash adjuster
body. The oil passes into a feed chamber in the lash adjuster then through to a separate pressure chamber via a one
way ball valve. Oil flow from the pressure chamber is determined by the amount of clearance between the lash
adjuster outer body and the centre plunger, oil escapes up the side of the plunger every time the lash adjuster is
operated, the downward pressure on the plunger forcing a corresponding amount of oil in the lash adjuster body to
be displaced. When the downward pressure from the camshaft and finger follower is removed (i.e. after the trailing
flank of the camshaft lobe has passed), oil pressure forces the lash adjuster's plunger up again. This pressure is not
sufficient to affect the valve operation, but eliminates the clearance between the finger follower and top of the valve
stem.

Camshaft cover and engine cover components
The camshaft cover and engine 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 13
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.
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.

+ COOLING SYSTEM - Td5, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
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 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 and a 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.

6Crankshaft sprocket
The crankshaft sprocket to camshaft sprocket timing chain is held taut by a tensioner arm acting on the slack side of
the chain. The tensioner is automatically adjusted by means of an hydraulically operated tensioner adjuster. The drive
side of the chain has a plastic guide attached to the front face of the cylinder block. The fixed guide is attached to the
front of the engine block by two bolts. The tensioner arm is fixed to the front of the cylinder block by a single pivot bolt
which allows the tensioner arm to pivot about its axis.
The adjustable tensioner arm is not interchangeable between pre EU3 and EU3 models due to a change in geometry
on the EU3 version.

12-1-28 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Tensioner adjuster
1Oil supply hole
2Tensioner adjuster body
3Tensioner adjuster plunger
4Sealing ring
The tensioner adjuster is hydraulically operated, oil enters the adjuster from the pressurised oil supply flowing through
the cylinder head to operate a plunger which pushes against a pivoting plastic tensioner arm. The lateral movement
in the tensioner arm causes the timing chain to tension and consequently compensation for chain flutter and timing
chain wear is automatically controlled. The adjuster is located at the front right hand side of the cylinder head, just
above the timing chain cover and below the vacuum pump oil feed port. The adjuster body is threaded and screws
into a tapping in the cylinder head. Holes are contained in the adjuster body to receive oil from the cylinder head
galleries, the oil pressure is used to force the plunger out of the adjuster body to press the tensioner arm against the
timing chain and so using the oil trapped in the adjuster body to perform as a damper.
The internal damping of the hydraulic tensioner is tuned for each application. This means that pre EU3 and EU3
components are not interchangeable.
Drive train sprockets
The camshaft sprocket has a double row of teeth which locate with the duplex timing chain. The sprocket is fitted to
the camshaft by three bolts.
The oil pump sprocket is located on the front of the oil pump housing by a single retaining bolt. The sprocket has a
single row of teeth which locates on the oil pump chain.
The crankshaft sprocket contains three rows of teeth, the rear row locates on the single oil pump chain and the front
two rows locate with the duplex timing chain. The crankshaft sprocket has a slot in its internal diameter which locates
with the Woodruff key on the crankshaft. The front of the crankshaft sprocket has a timing mark.
As a consequence of thicker chain links being used on EU3 models, the thickness of the camshaft and crankshaft
sprocket teeth has been reduced. Individual pre EU3 and EU3 components are therefore not interchangeable.
