Engine Description
The 6.4L diesel engine:
is a 4-cycle turbocharged V-8 with overhead valves.
has a 6.4L (390 cu in) displacement.
has 2 separate banks, the right bank is numbered 1, 3, 5, 7 and the left bank is numbered 2, 4, 6, 8.
has a cylinder block design that consists of:
a 2-piece crankcase.
internal piston cooling oil jets.
a forged steel crankshaft.
powered metal, fractured connecting rods.
has pistons that are:
made of an aluminum alloy.
fitted with an upper keystone compression ring.
fitted with a lower rectangular compression ring.
fitted with oil control rings.
has piston pins that are:
free-floating design.
retained by piston pin retainers.
has a camshaft that is:
supported by 5 insert-type camshaft bearings.
roller camshaft design.
driven by the crankshaft through the use of the crankshaft gear and the camshaft gear.
has hydraulic valve tappets that:
minimize engine noise.
maintain zero valve lash.
incorporate camshaft follower guides.
incorporate a roller follower design that reduces camshaft wear.
has a cylinder head design that:
incorporates Piezo actuated fuel injectors.
locates the fuel injectors in the center of the combustion chambers between the rocker arms.
has external low pressure fuel return galleries.
has an optional block heater that is:
designed to heat the engine coolant and oil for improved cold weather starts.
located near the starter.
powered by a 120-volt external power source.
replaceable, but not repairable.
has an engine lubrication system that:
is cooled by an engine oil cooler.
utilizes an engine oil pressure (EOP) switch, an oil pressure regulator and an engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor.
uses a gerotor oil pump driven by the crankshaft.
has exhaust manifolds that:
are a cast iron design.
use an exhaust manifold gasket.
routes exhaust gases from the engine block to the turbocharger inlet pipes.
has an oil pan:
that is a 2-piece design.
contains an oil baffle that is located in the upper oil pan.
has the pickup tube mounted to the upper oil pan.
has an intake manifold
that is a 1-piece cast aluminum design.
has an EGR adapter mounted to it.The 6.4L diesel engine is of a 4-stroke design. The 6.4L diesel utilizes 2 turbochargers and a high pressure common rail fuel injection system. The 6.4L diesel is designed to meet the government mandated emission standards.
