CHAPTER 14ENGINE ASSEMBLY AND COMPONENTS REPAIR INSTRUCTIONSSection I. ENGINE ASSEMBLY14-1. General.The engine assembly provides the mechanicalpower to drive the main generator. It consists ofa six-cylinder, turbocharged, diesel engine; battery-charging alternator, speed switch, electric starterand fuel pump.In addition, on precise generatorsets, a hydraulic pump is provided. Maintenanceinstructions for the components of the engine assemblyare provided in Sections II through XVII.14-2. Removal.Refer to paragraph 2-13 and remove the engine as-sembly, if required for the repair action to be taken.14-3. Disassembly.a. Place engine assembly on an engine stand utili-zing engine stand adapter plate and spacers.b. Disassemble the engine to the extent requiredby following procedures given in Sections 11 throughXVII.14-4. Inspection and Repair.Inspect and repair engine assembly assemblies,subassemblies, and components as described inSections II through XVII.14-5. Reassembly.Reassemble the engine assembly by following theprocedures provided in Sections II through XVII.14-6. Testing.a. Service engine lube oil and fuel systems withproper oil and fuel.(Refer to Operator and Organi-zational Maintenance Manual.)b. Connect engine assembly to a suitable enginedynamometer equipped with a cooling system andmeans of monitoring engine oil pressure, coolanttemperature, and engine rpm.c. Pre-run Checks.(1) Manually turn engine over a minimum oftwo revolutions and check for binding and mechanicalinterference. Correct cause of any binding or inter-ference prior to starting.(2) With the fuel injection pump solenoidde-energized, crank the engine until oil pressure ap-pears on the oil pressure gauge. Crank the enginean additional 15 seconds to insure 061 is in all partsof the lube oil system.(3) Recheck oil level and top off lube oil sump.d. Engine Oerational Check(1) With the dynamometer throttle set to theidle position and the fuel injection pump solenoidenergized, crank the engine until the engine starts.(2) Allow the engine to run at idle for 30seconds, shut down engine and inspect for signs ofleakage.(3) Restart engine and allow to run at low idlefor 10 minutes.NOTEMonitor oil pressure and coolant tem-perature at all times during this test,also check for unusual noise or vibra-tions. If at any time the oil pressurefalls below 20 psi, the coolant tempera-ture exceeds 222° F, or if noise orvibrations occur, discontinue test run.(4) Operate engine at 1800 rpm at 1/2 load for30 minutes.(5) Operate the engine at 1800 rpm at full ratedload for 1 hour.(6) Check to see that the enginethe following brake horsepower.1500 rpm -100 bhp1800 rpm -120 bhp2000 rpm -130 bhpwill produce(7) Operate the engine with no load for fiveminutes at 1800 rpm.(8) Shut down and inspect engine for coolant,oil and leaks.14-7. Installation.Refer to paragraph 2-14 and install the engine as-sembly in the generator set.Change 614-1
