General Information
Note: When you are ordering new parts, refer

to the engine identification number in order to
receive the correct parts. Refer to the Operation
and Maintenance Manual, “Product Identification
Information” for the correct numbers for your engine.
The 800 Series engines are in-line four cylinder

engines. The engines are controlled by a
mechanically governed fuel injection pump.
The engines have been designed for many different

applications. These engines are available in two
different types of aspiration:
• Naturally aspirated
• Turbocharged
Lifting the Engine

NOTICE
Failure to follow recommended procedures for han-
dling or transporting engines can lead to engine dam-
age.
To avoid possible engine damage, use the following

procedure.
When you are lifting or moving the engine, use the

following procedures in order to prevent engine
damage.
1. Do not tilt the engine to an extreme angle unless

the lubricating oil is first drained from the oil pan.
2. Do not turn the engine onto a side or an end

surface unless the lubricating oil is first drained
from the oil pan.
3. If the oil is not drained prior to tilting the engine or

turning the engine onto a side or an end surface,
the lubricating oil from the oil pan can flow into
the intake manifold and the cylinder bores. This
situation could cause a hydraulic lock in the
engine. Hydraulic lock can severely damage the
engine.
4. The engine oil should be refilled to the correct

level before the engine is started.

of fuel to the fuel injectors. The injection pressure
is generated by an axially moving piston. The
movement of the piston is parallel to the fuel injection
pump shaft.
10 SENR9834-02
The fuel is drawn by an internal fuel transfer pump

into the fuel injection pump. A portion of the fuel
is routed through the pressure regulator assembly
to the suction side of the fuel injection pump. The
fuel that is under pressure from the fuel transfer
pump flows to the interior of the pump housing.
The pressurized fuel is routed to the pumping
chamber. As the plunger rotates and as the plunger
reciprocates, high pressure fuel is routed through
high pressure fuel lines (2) to fuel injectors (1).
The fuel injectors spray atomized fuel into the

cylinder. Excess fuel is routed through fuel return
lines (3) and (6) and returned to the fuel tank.
Routing excess fuel back to the fuel tank allows air in

the fuel to flow back to the fuel tank through the fuel
return line. The fuel that flows into the housing of the
fuel injection pump performs the following functions:
• Lubricate the internal components.

• Cool the internal components.
• Remove small air bubbles.
The fuel injection pump needs fuel for lubrication.
The precision parts of the pump are easily damaged.
The engine must not be started until the fuel injection
pump is full of fuel. The system must be primed when
any part of the system is drained of fuel. The fuel
system needs priming when a fuel filter is changed,
and/or when a fuel line is removed, and/or when the
fuel injection pump is replaced.

that is totally enclosed. The pump sends the correct
amount of fuel under high pressure at the correct
time through the fuel injectors to the individual
cylinders. The correct timing occurs near the end
of the compression stroke. The fuel injection pump
regulates the amount of fuel that is delivered to the
fuel injectors. This action controls the engine rpm by
the governor setting or the position of the throttle
control.
The fuel lines to the fuel injectors are equal lengths.

This ensures even pressure and correct injection
timing at each fuel injector.
During operation, extra fuel is used as coolant and

first draws the fuel into the pump. The reciprocating
motion then pressurizes the fuel.
The plunger also rotates with the cam in order to

sequentially align the discharge groove of the cam
with each of the ports on the fuel injection pump. The
plunger moves a distance which is established by
the lobes of the cam.
The effective stroke is established by the position of

the control sleeve. When control sleeve (8) is moved
to the left prior to the injection of fuel, the spill port
is uncovered. Uncovering the spill port reduces the
amount of fuel that is delivered to the cylinder. When
the control sleeve is moved to the right prior to the
injection of fuel, the spill port is covered. Covering
the spill port increases the amount of fuel that is
delivered to the fuel injector.
The pump also includes an internal timer (not shown).

The timer allows early fuel injection by advancing

the needle in nozzle tip assembly (6). The pressure
of the fuel pushes the needle valve and pressure
spring (5). When the force of the fuel pressure is
greater than the force of the pressure spring, the
needle valve will lift up.
When the needle valve opens, fuel under high

pressure will flow through the single orifice and into
the cylinder. The fuel is injected into the cylinder as
a very fine spray. When the fuel is injected into the
cylinder, the force of the fuel pressure in the nozzle
body will decrease. The force of the pressure spring
will then be greater than the force of the fuel pressure
that is in the nozzle body. The needle valve will move
quickly to the closed position.
The seat of the needle valve has a close fit with the
inside of the nozzle. This makes a positive seal when
the valve is closed.

fuel pushes the needle valve and pressure spring (4).
When the force of the fuel pressure is greater than
the force of the pressure spring, the needle valve will
lift up.
When the needle valve opens, fuel under high

pressure will flow through the multiple orifices in the
nozzle tip and into the cylinder. The fuel is injected
into the cylinder as a very fine spray. When the fuel
is injected into the cylinder, the force of the fuel

Flow diagram of the air inlet and exhaust system
(1) Turbocharger (2) Exhaust (3) Air inlet
The components of the air inlet and exhaust system

control the quality of air and the amount of air that is
available for combustion.
Naturally aspirated engines pull outside air through

air inlet (3) of an air cleaner directly into the intake
manifold. The air flows through the intake manifold
which directs an even distribution of the air to each
engine cylinder. The air is pulled into the engine
cylinder during the intake stroke of the piston. Fuel is
mixed with the air in the engine cylinders during the
compression stroke. After the fuel combustion occurs
in the engine cylinder, the exhaust gases flow directly
to the outside air through the exhaust (2).
SENR9834-02 15
Turbocharged engines pull outside air through Turbocharger (if equipped)

air inlet (3) of an air cleaner into the air inlet
of turbocharger (1). The suction is caused by
the turbocharger compressor wheel. Then, the
turbocharger compressor wheel compresses the
air. The air flows through the intake manifold which
directs an even distribution of the air to each
engine cylinder. The air is pulled into the engine
cylinder during the intake stroke of the piston. Fuel
is mixed with the air in the engine cylinders during
the compression stroke. After the fuel combustion
occurs in the engine cylinder, the exhaust gases
flow to the exhaust manifold. The exhaust gases
from the exhaust manifold enter the turbine side of
the turbocharger in order to turn the turbocharger
turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is connected to
the same shaft that drives the compressor wheel.
Exhaust gases from the turbocharger pass through
the exhaust outlet and to exhaust (2).
Each piston makes four strokes for one complete

cycle in two revolutions of the crankshaft.

strokes of the piston. Bearings (4) and (6) for the turbocharger use engine
oil under pressure for lubrication and cooling. The
oil comes in through the oil inlet port (5). The oil
then goes through passages in the center section in
order to lubricate the bearings. This oil also cools the
bearings. Oil from the turbocharger passes through
the oil outlet port (10) in the bottom of the center
section. The oil then returns to the engine oil pan.

The valve system components control the flow of

The valve system components also control the flow
of exhaust gases out of the cylinders during engine
operation.
The crankshaft gear drives the camshaft gear

through an upper idler gear. The camshaft must be
timed to the crankshaft in order to get the correct
relationship between the piston movement and the
valve movement.
The camshaft has two camshaft lobes for each

cylinder. The lobes operate the inlet and exhaust
valves. Each cylinder has one inlet valve and one
exhaust valve. As the camshaft rotates, the lobes
cause the lifter (5) to move the pushrod (3) up and
down. The upward movement of the pushrod against
the rocker arm (1) results in downward movement
(opening) of the valve (4). The valve spring (2) closes
the valves when the lifters move down.

18 SENR9834-02
Lubricating oil from the main oil gallery flows through

high pressure passages to the main bearings of
the crankshaft (8). The oil then flows through the
passages in the crankshaft to the connecting rod
bearing journals.
The pistons and the cylinder bores are lubricated by

the splash of oil from piston cooling jets (1), which
are connected to the main oil gallery.
Lubricating oil from the main oil gallery flows through

passages in the cylinder block to the journals of the
camshaft (3). The oil then flows from the camshaft at
a reduced pressure to the cylinder head. The oil flows
into the rocker arm shaft (2) at a reduced pressure
to the bearings of the rocker arm levers. The valve
stems, the valve springs and the valve lifters are
lubricated by the splash and the oil mist.
The hub of the idler gear (6) is lubricated by oil from

the main oil gallery. The timing gears are lubricated
by the splash from the oil.
Turbochargers (14) are lubricated by oil from a

connection on the right hand side of the cylinder
block. An external line (13) that is connected
from the main oil gallery supplies oil to the top of
the turbocharger. The oil then flows through the
turbocharger. An external line that is connected to
the bottom of the turbocharger returns the oil to the
engine oil pan.
Engine oil relief valve (7) is installed in order to

prevent damage to the lubricating system. The engine
oil relief valve helps keep a constant oil pressure
throughout the engine. If the main system relief valve
fails to open, the high engine oil pressure can cause
damage to engine components. In order to limit the
possibility of engine damage due to a malfunctioning
relief valve, the lubrication system contains a backup
system for engine oil relief valve (7). Engine oil safety
valve (12) is located inside engine oil pan (11) on the
bottom of the cylinder block.

the speed of the crankshaft. The oil pump runs at
three quarters of the speed of the crankshaft.
The engine has a single camshaft (2) that is made of
cast iron. The camshaft has four sets of lobes. Each
set of lobes controls the movement of the inlet and
exhaust valves for each cylinder.
The camshaft is driven at the front end by the

camshaft gear. As the camshaft rotates, the camshaft
lobes move the valve system components. The valve
system components move the cylinder valves.
The camshaft gear must be timed to the crankshaft

gear. The relationship between the lobes of the
camshaft and the camshaft gear causes the valves
in each cylinder to open at the correct time. The
camshaft gear is held on the tapered shaft of the
camshaft by a woodruff key.
End play of the camshaft is controlled by thrust

washer (1) that is mounted in front of the camshaft.
The thrust washer is held in place by two bolts in the
cylinder block.

by a three-phase, full-wave rectifier. Direct current
flows to the output terminal of the alternator. The
rectifier has three exciter diodes. The direct current
is used for the charging process.
A solid-state regulator is installed on the rear end of

the alternator. Two brushes conduct current through
two slip rings. The current then flows to the rotor field.
A capacitor protects the rectifier from high voltages.
The regulators are sealed and repair is not possible.
The alternator is cooled by an internal fan which is

covered by the alternator housing. The fan pulls air
through the holes in the front of the alternator. The air
exits through the holes in the back of the alternator.
The diodes, the resistors, and the brushes are also

covered by the alternator housing in order to protect
the components from dirt and moisture.
The alternator is connected to the battery through

the ignition switch. Therefore, alternator excitation
occurs when the switch is in the ON position.

Fuel Quality - Test
Use the following procedure to test for problems

regarding fuel quality:
1. Determine if water and/or contaminants are

present in the fuel. Check the water separator (if
equipped). If a water separator is not present,
proceed to Step 2. Drain the water separator, if
necessary. A full fuel tank minimizes the potential
for overnight condensation.
SENR9834-02 31
Note: A water separator can appear to be full of fuel

when the water separator is actually full of water.
2. Determine if contaminants are present in the

fuel. Remove a sample of fuel from the bottom
of the fuel tank. Visually inspect the fuel sample
for contaminants. The color of the fuel is not
necessarily an indication of fuel quality. However,
fuel that is black, brown, and/or similar to sludge
can be an indication of the growth of bacteria or
oil contamination. In cold temperatures, cloudy
fuel indicates that the fuel may not be suitable for
the operating conditions. Refer to Operation and

drained during normal operation.
• The low pressure fuel lines are disconnected.

• A leak exists in the low pressure fuel system during

• The fuel filter or the fuel pump is replaced.

• The high pressure fuel lines are disconnected.
Use the following procedure in order to remove air

Engine Oil Leaks into the

Combustion Area of the Cylinders
Engine oil that is leaking into the combustion area of
the cylinders can be the cause of blue smoke. There
are several possible ways for engine oil to leak into

Inspect result if engine oil with the wrong viscosity is used.
Engine oil with a thin viscosity can be caused by fuel
leakage into the crankcase or by increased engine
temperature.
When some components of the engine show bearing
wear in a short time, the cause can be a restriction in
an oil passage.
An engine oil pressure indicator may show that there

is enough oil pressure, but a component is worn
due to a lack of lubrication. In such a case, look at
the passage for the oil supply to the component.
A restriction in an oil supply passage will not allow
enough lubrication to reach a component. This will
result in early wear.

Increased Engine Oil

Temperature - Inspect
Look for a restriction in the oil passages of the oil

cooler. The oil temperature may be higher than
normal when the engine is operating. In such a case,
the oil cooler may have a restriction. A restriction in
the oil cooler will not cause low oil pressure in the
engine.
Determine if the oil cooler bypass valve is held in the

open position. This condition will allow the oil to pass
through the valve instead of the oil cooler. The oil
temperature will increase.

Alternator - Test
1. Put the positive lead “+” of a suitable multimeter

on the “Bat” terminal of the alternator. Put the
negative “-” lead on the ground terminal or on the
frame of the alternator. Put a suitable ammeter
around the positive output wire of the alternator.
2. Turn off all electrical accessories. Turn off the fuel

to the engine. Crank the engine for 30 seconds.
Wait for two minutes in order to cool the starting
motor. If the electrical system appears to operate
correctly, crank the engine again for 30 seconds.
Note: Cranking the engine for 30 seconds partially

discharges the batteries in order to do a charging
test. If the battery has a low charge, do not perform
this step. Jump start the engine or charge the battery
before the engine is started.
3. Start the engine and run the engine at high idle.
4. Check the output current of the alternator. The

initial charging current should be equal to the
minimum full load current or greater than the
minimum full load current. Refer to Specifications,
“Alternator and Regulator” for the correct minimum
full load current.

i01899136
Battery - Test
Most of the tests of the electrical system can be done

on the engine. The wiring insulation must be in good
condition. The wire and cable connections must be
clean, and both components must be tight.
Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or bat-

tery circuit cable from the battery when the charg-
ing unit is operated. A spark can cause an explo-
sion from the flammable vapor mixture of hydro-
gen and oxygen that is released from the elec-
trolyte through the battery outlets. Injury to per-
sonnel can be the result.
The battery circuit is an electrical load on the charging

unit. The load is variable because of the condition of
the charge in the battery.
NOTICE
The charging unit will be damaged if the connections
between the battery and the charging unit are broken
while the battery is being charged. Damage occurs
because the load from the battery is lost and because
there is an increase in charging voltage. High voltage
will damage the charging unit, the regulator, and other
electrical components.
The correct procedures to test the battery can be

found in the manual that is supplied by the OEM.
