Safety Tips
In the process of assembly and disassembly, wrong operation method may damage the parts or
components, shorten the service life and deteriorate the performance of the machine, even brings
potential safety hazard. Therefore, when assembling and disassembling the components, please read
related content in this manual carefully.
Disassembly:
1. Choose suitable site for the disassembly, standard service shop is preferred, and at least choose
clean cement floor. If the disassembly has to be done in the field, you must use wood board or
hardboard to place the removed parts, in order to keep the parts clean and protect them from
contamination and lost.
2. Drain out all engine oil and coolant (pay attention to prevent pollution of the environment),
clear away the dust and oil dirt on the machine.
3. Pay attention to operation procedures and methods, use the tools correctly and apply your
strength wisely. Follow the disassembling steps strictly and do not strike or pry the machine at
will, to avoid damaging the parts or tools.
4. Place the removed parts reasonably: It’s better to use parts rack, at least place the parts on clean
wood block. Pairing parts (such as connecting rod, piston, bearing shell, shaft cap and injector)
should be placed orderly and marked in pair, the joint of some important parts should be
covered with dust cap. Parts of each cylinder should be placed together orderly, so that no more
1

running-in is needed after reassembly. It’s better to assemble the nuts and screws to their
original positions, to avoid misplacement or lost.
5. For part that cannot be disassembled easily due to wrong operation or serious rust, try to take
assist measures: wet the part with engine oil or diesel oil, or heat the part, or attach adapter by
welding.
6. In the process of disassembly, always pay attention to personnel safety and equipment safety.
Pay special attention to fire safety.
Assembly:
7. Strictly comply with processes and steps specified in related technical documents to perform
the assembly.
8. Each part should be rinsed and inspected by visual before assembling, the part should be free of
sand hole, flash and blur, and no crack, bumping damage, corrosion, residual sealant and other
defect is allowed.
9. All oil galleries, oil chambers, water channels and deep holes of each part should be clean and
free of any residue.
10. All parts must have a certification or proof mark. Old part must be inspected and proved
qualified before reuse.
11. When assembling, pay attention to the mark of pairing parts.
12. Pay attention to special assembling requirements of connectors, safety locking plate and sealing
devices. For parts with tightening torque requirements, the specified tightening order and
tightening torque should be strictly complied with. For parts that connected with two or more
bolts/nuts, the bolts or nuts should be tightened evenly and crosswise in two or more steps. In
addition to special requirements, choose tightening torque according to table 1-1.

advance, do not alter it at will.
15. Choose sealant reasonably. Specifications for sealant selection and application:
(1) The sealing surface and thread should be clean and free of oil dirt before applying sealant.
(2) Thread sealant (262, 242 sealant) is suitable for locking of thread, also exerting a part of
sealing effect. The sealant should be applied on mid-front area of the effective contact
section of the thread.
(3) Pipe thread sealant (545 sealant) is suitable for sealing and locking of tapered thread (NPT)
on pipe, pipe joint and plug screw. The sealant should be applied on mid-front area of the
effective contact section of the thread.
(4) Bowl-shape plug sealant (11747 sealant), the sealant should be applied on effective section
of sealing tape, make sure the sealant is evenly distributed and without discontinuity.
(5) Sealing gasket sealant (515 sealant) is suitable for plane (with or without gasket). the
sealant should be applied on inner side of gasket hole, sealant trace should be continuous
and with width of 1~2mm. Under special requirements, it is allowed to apply two sealant
traces.
(6) Before tightening the plug, joint or bolt that is applied with sealant, be sure screw-in the
sealant part by hand firstly. When applying the sensor transition joint with sealant, make
sure the sealant is evenly applied on middle-rear part of the joint thread and no sealant on
the sensing end.
16. Spare parts must come from the original manufacturers to ensure installation quality.

Generally, volatile solvent is used to dissolve and clear away oil dirt on pats, such as gasoline,
diesel oil and kerosene. These solvents are easy to buy and convenient to use, no damage to the
parts and cleaning effect is good, but their cost is high, what’s more, volatile solvent can easily lead
to fire hazard. Thus, these solvents are usually used to clean precision parts with high cleaning
requirements.
Another cleaning fluid that used to clean oil dirt is alkaline solution (prepared with alkali or alkalic
salt), which is mainly used to clear away oil dirt on steel/iron parts. Formula of commonly used
alkaline solution is listed in table 3-1. Because strong alkalinity is highly corrosive to nonferrous
metals, when cleaning nonferrous metal parts, use the alkaline solution listed in table 3-2.

B 4 1.5 30 1000
When cleaning the parts with alkaline solution, you should heat the solution to 80~90oC in advance.
After all oil dirt is cleared away, wash the parts with hot water to get rid of the residual alkaline
solution to prevent corroding the parts, and dry them with compressed air at last. We recommend
you to use GF-III metal cleaning fluid for normal circumstances, which is convenient, safe and
effective.

YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
ATTENTION
The chemicals listed in the tables above are corrosive, please operate with great caution
and take protective measures.
Carbon deposit is poor combustion product and combustion product of bursting engine oil, mainly
appears on parts around combustion chamber. Harm to the machine caused by carbon deposit:
Inflexible movement, larger resistance and power reduction. If there is too much carbon deposit on
part surface, radiating performance will be greatly affected, overheating will occur. Too much
carbon deposit on piston and piston ring will result in scuffing of cylinder bore. Too much carbon
deposit in fuel injector will block the injector, and engine will not work normally. Thus, when
maintaining the engine, you should pay serious attention to carbon deposit problem.
Tools to remove carbon deposit: scraping knife, perching knife and wire brush. Fig. 3-1 represents
removal of valve carbon deposit, Fig. 3-2 represents removal of piston top carbon deposit. This
method is simple and practicable, but the removal isn’t clear enough, and easy to leave scratch on
part surface.
Fig. 3-1 Removal of valve carbon deposit Fig. 3-2 Removal of piston top carbon deposit
Another method to remove carbon deposit is to use decarbonizer. The way to do this is: keep the
part (with carbon deposit) immersed in decarbonizer (80~90oC) for 2~3h, after the carbon deposit
gets soft, wipe it off with brush or cleaning cloth, wash the part with hot water and dry it with
compressed air at last.
Formula of decarbonizer for removal of carbon deposit on steel/iron parts and aluminum alloy parts
is list in table 3-3 and 3-4.

A layer of yellowish-white water scale will be deposited on inner wall of cylinder cover cooling
water jacket and radiator after long-time using cooling water (not coolant). Water scale can block
circulating water channel and result in engine overheating. If hard water is used in the engine, the
water scale problem could get even worse.
Formula of descaling agent is listed in Fig. 3-5. Prepare the descaling agent (A/B) according to the
formula listed in Fig. 3-5 and filter it, fill enough descaling agent into engine cooling system and let
it stand for 10~12h, and then start the engine, increase the engine speed to a little higher than idle
speed and run it for 10~15min to heat the descaling agent to 80oC or higher and then stop the engine.
After the temperature drops to 60oC or lower, start the engine again and run it idly for 2min, and
then stop the engine, drain the descaling agent out. Then fill clean water and start the engine to
clean engine cooling system.

Advantages of this method are: efficient, less corrosive to copper and welded joint, but you should
41

note that harmful gas will be generated when acid solution reacting with water scale, protective
measures shall be taken.
Steel/iron parts can be easily rusted by water and oxygen in the air, rust will directly affect surface
quality of the parts and must be thoroughly removed. Common tools to remove rust: steel wire,
scraping knife, perching knife and abrasive cloth. Be careful not to damage the finished surface of
the part.

Before the cleaning, you should preliminarily check the engine block and ensure it is in good
condition for use. Check the engine block for casting flaws like crack and sand hole, check whether
machining processes is complete, check the finished surfaces for bumping damage.
1. Remove the peripheral dirt on engine block
with high pressure water, and then clear away
the oil dirt, burnt-on sand and carbon deposit
and sediment on inner and outer surface of
engine block, oil gallery and water channel
with cleaning agent.

Front oil block of YC4108, YC6105, YC6108, YC6L and YC6M engine is sealing plug (with
O-ring), while rear oil block is bowl-shape plug, as shown in Fig. 3-15.
Hexagonal socket head plug
O-ring
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS:
(1) Middle section of plug screw should be applied with 545 sealant and tightened with
socket head wrench.
(2) Add an O-ring to install the sealing plug, be careful not to damage the O-ring.
(3) After assembling, outer end face of plug or sealing plug should be a little lower than
engine block end face.
(4) When assembling, knock-in with soft metal.
2. Precautions for installation of camshaft sleeve. Refer to Fig. 3-16.
Camshaft sleeve
Rear end
chamfer
and sixth (cylinder number) sleeves are designed with one oil hole respectively that
connected to rocker arm seat; for YC6M engine, only one oil hole needs to be aligned
(because there is oil groove processed on bearing shell); for YC4108 engine, the second
and fourth (cylinder number) sleeves are designed with one oil hole respectively that
connected to rocker arm seat; for other engine models, only the first (cylinder number)
sleeve is designed with one oil hole that connected to rocker arm seat. You should pay
special attention to this when assembling.
(3) After the installation, horizontal boring machine should be used to process the sleeve to
specified dimension (refer to table 3-9).
3. Precautions for installation of cylinder sleeve.
(1) Rust and carbon deposit on cylinder sleeve shoulder must be cleared away.
(2) Check whether the cylinder sleeve bore diameter meets the requirements listed in table 3-8
before installing.
(3) Install waterproof ring on cylinder sleeve (YC6112 (with cylinder sleeve), YC4112 and
YC4110 engine apply dry-type cylinder sleeve, no waterproof ring is needed), as shown in
Fig. 3-17.
(4) When assembling the cylinder sleeve to engine block, you should apply some engine oil on
the waterproof ring first, rotate the sleeve while press it in the meantime. If fail to press it
in by hand, place a wood board on the sleeve and knock it in place, as shown in Fig. 3-18.
Interference fit is adopted between cylinder sleeve and engine block for YC4112 and
YC4112 engine, so the sleeve should be cooled in liquid nitrogen for 10min before
assembling. Clearance fit is adopted for YC4110 engine.
(5) After the installation, cylinder sleeve protrusion should be measured according to the
method exposed in Fig. 3-8. For YC6L engine, the protrusion can be adjusted by adding or
reducing number of adjusting gaskets (chamfer side upward).
When matching cylinder sleeves, the color of selected cylinder sleeve should be the same
as engine block grouping color, i.e. red to red, blue to blue (or A to A, B to B).We won't
elaborate here.
TIPS
In principle, grouping assembling is applied between fitting of cylinder sleeve and engine
block.

4. Installation of engine oil cooled nozzle and hook. Refer to Fig. 3-19 and Fig. 3-20.
ATTENTION
When disassembling the oil sump of a long-time used engine, you should pay attention to
check whether the nozzles are aged and damaged, replace if necessary.
(2) Engine oil cooled hook is steel tube weldment, and positioned by locating pin when
assembling, fastened on engine block with bolts. Before assembling, you should check
whether pressure-limiting valve ball is flexible, whether oil hole on the weldment is
unblocked. For engine that requires fuel must be injected into engine oil cooled gallery on
piston (ensured by machining precision of the weldment), this should be checked. And no
interference is allowed between the hook and piston skirt or crankshaft counterbalance
ATTENTION
The piston for assembling must be processed with hook back-off opening. Refer to Fig.
3-19.

2. Main bearing cap damage. Replace the bearing cap, in principle, you can only use half-finished
bearing cap (fasten it on the matching cylinder to specified torque and then bore it to specified
dimension listed in table 3-6.
If boring the bearing cap is not available, you can choose a suitable old bearing cap and fit by
grinding the bearing shells (the requirements are: ensure crankshaft can rotate flexibly and no
engine oil pressure reduction is caused).
3. Fit camshaft sleeve
The method to fit camshaft sleeve is boring and reaming, which has been exposed previously.
53
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
Here we introduce how to fit when a sleeve is damaged and replaced: press the new sleeve into
the fitting hole according to the method previously exposed, clear away the blur on sleeve, wipe
out the camshaft and fit it into the sleeve and check the flexibility. It is qualified if the camshaft
can rotate flexibly. If the camshaft cannot rotate flexibly (the fitting is too tight), then coat the
sleeves with red lead powder, reassemble and check the flexibility again, bore or ream to fit.
Camshaft sleeve fitting hole of YC6108 and YC6105 engine applies open structure and can use
a scraping knife to fit; while fitting hole of other engine models apply closed structure, only fit
by sanding with waterproof abrasive paper and polishing.
4. After assembling cylinder sleeve, if the protrusion exceeds specified value listed in table 3-8,
then you can interchange the sleeves to meet the requirements, never process the engine block
step surface to prevent damaging the reasonable fitting condition. As shown in Fig. 3-22.
ATTENTION
Clear away the blur and carbon deposit on the step surface, contact area should be more
than 80%. Poor fitting and large protrusion are the main causes for breakage of cylinder
sleeve journal.
5. Abrasion of cylinder sleeve: if abnormal premature wear is happened to the cylinder sleeve,
you should find out the cause as soon as possible: (1) Check engine oil quality and check
whether cooling and ejecting of engine oil is normal; (2) Improperly maintained air filter or
short circuit; (3) Long-term low-temperature (66oC or under) low-speed running; (4)
Disqualified cylinder sleeve material (in this case, abrasion of piston and piston ring is not
serious).
6. Cavitation of cylinder sleeve: common cylinder sleeve cavitation is partial, main causes are:
cylinder sleeve is too close to cylinder wall, poor circulating of cooling water leading to
overheating, bubbles come out from high temperature water, explode and continuously impact
cylinder sleeve outer wall under the vibration of cylinder sleeve. Handling method: properly
grind or polish engine block failure area (protruding area), but without affecting cylinder block
strength.
TIPS
For the planeness problem of engine block upper surface, so far, we didn’t find any
engine failure caused by oversize planeness error, so please do not casually polish this
surface to prevent affecting plane quality of the engine block.
7. Inlay-fit cylinder sleeve: only for YC6112 engine. As shown in Fig. 3-23.

2. Inspection of surface roughness
Main check points are: surface of main journal and crankshaft connecting rod journal, connecting
rod journal shoulder, round corner of main journal and crankshaft connecting rod journal, finished
surface of front and rear ends.
Inspection method: a. Compare to sample plate by visual, main journal and crankshaft connecting
rod journal should be free of scratch, the round corner should be 100% polished and the transitional
area should be smooth. b. Measure with roughness detector.
3. Measuring of dynamic unbalance value. Every crankshaft has passed tests regarding dynamic
unbalance value before delivery, so you don’t have to perform this inspection under normal
circumstance, but if the engine vibrates excessively during normal use, this inspection must be

TIPS
The timing gear is assembled on crankshaft by the manufacturer before delivery, and without
dedicated tools, the gear is difficult to be disassembled. So when replacing the parts, the gear
and crankshaft should be replaced together. Tips: some crankshaft timing gears that delivered in
the second half of 2003 are free of locating pin or key, if valve timing of engine equipped with
this kind of crankshaft gear is changed, check if the gear is loose first.
2. Installation of crankshaft rear end bearing and bearing sleeve. For YC4110 engine, only bearing
59
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
sleeve needs to be installed; for YC4108, YC6105, YC6108 and YC6L engine, firstly install
the sleeve and then install the 6205-Z bearing; while for YC4112, YC6112 and YC6M engine,
the bearing is installed on flywheel. Refer to Fig. 3-28 and Fig. 3-29.
Bearing
Sleeve
TIPS
Crankshaft bearing and bearing sleeve should be assembled in place (no clearance to the
stop shoulder). For crankshaft bearing, the side with end cover should face outward, and
fully-enclosed bearing is free of lubricating oil. As engine model varies greatly, assembling
requirements of crankshaft bearing and bearing sleeve were chosen according to
transmission box type, please recover them without change after maintenance.
3. Steps to lift and assemble crankshaft and precautions
(1) Install main bearing shells: when assembling a new engine, color mark on the bearing shell
should be the same as that on main journal. This is not mandatory in normal maintenance,
but you must ensure the fitting clearance is specified range. Bearing shell locating grooves
are processed on fitting surfaces of bearing seat and bearing cap, the bearing shell lip
should be aligned to the grooves after assembling. In the meantime, oil hole on bearing
60
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
shell should be aligned to that on bearing seat too, refer to Fig. 3-11 (for YC6L engine,
because there is oil groove processed on bearing seat, no oil hole needs to be aligned when
assembling. As shown in Fig. 3-30)

(mm)
During the inspection, if the measured value is far from specified range in table 3-15, you can select
thrust plates with different thickness to meet the requirements. Wear limit should be less than
0.4mm.
TIPS
It is better to measure crankshaft axial clearance after the first tightening step of main
bearing cap bolts, in case a problem occurs.
1. If the crankshaft is slightly scratched or burnt (the damage is not obvious), you can polish with
abrasive cloth (600 grade) to remove the defect, and method to polish is shown in Fig. 3-34.
2. If the crankshaft is severely scratched or burnt (the damage is obvious), you can grind the
crankshaft to remove the defect and fit with an enlarged shell (+0.25). But when grinding, the
requirements regarding crankshaft journal transition fillets (R3 and R5.1) must be addressed.
As shown in Fig. 3-35.
3. When replacing with a new crankshaft, it better to measure dynamic unbalance value with
flywheel and clutch assembled.
63
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
Vibration of the engine is mainly caused by oversized dynamic unbalance value of crankshaft
module. Including:
Crankshaft, flywheel, clutch and pulley damper, these parts have passed tests regarding
dynamic unbalance value before delivery. But if the vibration problem is serious, you must
check them one by one.

4. Deformation of crankshaft: In the process of assembling crankshaft, if found that rotation of
crankshaft is not flexible (bearing shells and the shafting fitting hole are in good condition),
then the crankshaft may have deformation problem, you should measure crankshaft bending
error (refer to Fig. 3-26), if the whole bending error is greater than 0.15mm, the crankshaft
should be replaced.
5. Burning of bearing shell and crankshaft journal.
TIPS
If the crankshaft is scratched in peripheral-radial direction (not axially), and the damage
length is within 2mm, the crankshaft can be reused after being polished.
For most engine models, there are 205 bearing and bearing sleeve installed in crankshaft big-end
fitting hole, so please pay attention to this when replacing the crankshaft, do not neglect or misplace.
Refer to Fig. 3-29.
General rules for select-fit crankshaft bearing shells: When matching crankshaft bearing shells, the
color (or color mark) of selected bearing shell should be the same as that of crankshaft main journal,
i.e. red to red, blue to blue (or A to A, B to B). According to the A/B color mark on top of main
bearing cap, select red bearing shell for A mark and blue for B mark. As shown in Fig. 3-11 and Fig.
3-24.
For YC4110, YC4112 and YC6112 engine, because the oil seal seat is installed on engine block to
64
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
fit crankshaft rear oil seal, while for other engine models, the seat is installed on flywheel shell. So
the oil seal seat of YC4110, YC4112 and YC6112 engine can be installed at this point. Precautions:
(1) Rear oil seal seat gasket should be applied with sealant. Refer to Fig. 3-36. (2) Tighten the bolts
according to the order exposed in Fig. 3-37. (3) Clearance between oil seal seat bottom surface and
oil sump fitting surface should within 0~0.08mm to prevent oil leaking from oil sump gasket. (4)
Apply suitable engine oil on big end of crankshaft when assembling, place a pressing plate and
knock it into oil seal seat. As shown in Fig. 3-38.

2. Assemble piston connecting rod assembly into engine block.
After assembled piston, connecting rod, piston rings and connecting rod bearing shells, install
the assembly into engine block according the method exposed in Fig. 3-52. Requirements:
72
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
(1) Connecting rod bearing shells should be applied with clean engine oil.
(2) Put the assembly into cylinder sleeve according to the “face forward” mark on piston top
surface or connecting rod body. If the mark cannot be read, refer to Fig. 3-48 view A or
view B for assembling, ensure swirl chamber in piston is aligned to injectors.
(3) Tighten connecting rod bolts to specified torque listed in table 3-21, ensure rotation of
crankshaft is flexible, and connecting rod journal can move axially for more than 1mm, and
ensure the rod can be stirred easily and flexibly.
ATTENTION
In the process of assembling, you must support the big end of connecting rod with special
tool or clean board to prevent bumping cylinder sleeve and connecting rod journal.

As shown in Fig. 3-53.
TDC scale
Fig. 3-53 Adjust TDC scale of cylinder 1
73
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
Rotate the engine until piston of cylinder 1 reaches TDC, measure the piston protrusion (to
engine block upper surface) of each cylinder with dial gauge, which should be 0.15~0.45mm,
piston protrusion difference between two cylinders should be less than 0.15mm. If the
measured values have big difference, then volume of combustion chamber will be affected,
even leading to piston bumping problem.
TIPS
When only some connecting rods need to be replaced, you can select-fit according to table
3-17.
1. Connecting rod.
(1) Breakage of connecting rod bolts: connecting rod bolts are special purpose parts, you
mustn’t replace them with bolts made of other materials. For bolts that have been blued by
bearing shell burning or have been tightened and loosened 3 times should be replaced.
Breakage of connecting rod bolts is mainly caused by insufficient tightening torque, which
made the bolts subject to severe impact repeatedly. At this point, the contact surfaces
between bolt head and connecting rod cap are usually brightened and smoothed because of
abrasion. Refer to Fig. 3-39. If the connecting rod bolts are burnt blue due to high
temperature, then the bolts are deteriorated.
(2) After replacing piston pin sleeve (note that oil hole on the sleeve should be aligned to the
engine oil gathering hole on connecting rod small end), if fitting clearance between pin and
pin hole is too small, you can grind the sleeve or ream/ broach the pin hole to meet the
requirements. When reaming, it is better to fix the connecting rod on vertical drill or
vertical boring machine and correct perpendicularity of the sleeve hole. Otherwise,
parallelism between center line of connecting rod big end hole and that of sleeve hole will
be out of tolerance.
(3) The connecting rod mustn’t be reused if either of the following situation occurs:
connecting rod body turned blue due to piston pin burning or bearing shell burning,
connecting rod big end hole is seriously worn due to rotating of bearing shells.
(4) Connecting rod bearing shell burning.
TIPS
Connecting rod bearing shell burning is mainly caused by poor machining that leading to
undersized fitting clearance, as shown in Fig. 3-54. When machining the shell, the section
marked with 0.3 and 15 in Fig. 3-54 needs to be removed, which means middle part of the
74
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
shell is thinner than two ends. Test to check whether the shell is qualified: install and
tighten the shell to specified torque, sprinkle some read lead on inner surface of the shell
and then rotate the crankshaft for a few circles. Disassemble and check the shell: the
section marked with 0.3 and 15 in Fig. 3-54 should be free of abrasion, while the
processed section near the locating lip should be subject to abrasion. Otherwise, the
fitting clearance is too small.
Solution: Polish with 180-mesh waterproof abrasive paper.
2. Piston
(1) Scratch on piston skirt: mainly caused by poor lubrication and poor engine oil cooling
effect (low engine oil pressure or blockage of hook oil hole, turbocharger-free engine isn’t
equipped with this device), which result in engine overheating.
Cylinder-scuffing, burn or fracture of piston upper part (above piston ring), causes: bad
atomization of fuel injector, even dripping diesel oil (Blockage of fuel injector, low fuel
opening pressure), oversized fuel feeding angle, long-time overload low-speed
high-temperature running, too much carbon deposit, poor heat dissipation, etc.
(2) Piston ring jamming: mainly caused by undersized axial clearance between piston ring and
piston ring groove, poor machining of piston ring groove, severe gas carry-over and carbon
deposit problem around the piston.
3. Piston ring
(1) Premature wear of piston ring will result in gas carry-over problem in the cylinder (at this
point, exhaust gas pressure in engine block increases and some exhaust gas infiltrates into
the breather) and engine oil bursting into combustion chamber burning problem (blue
exhaust gas, engine oil consumption increased markedly), the main causes are: dirty intake
air, long-time overload running or long-time low-speed running. Sometimes this problem
will also occur if the piston ring or cylinder sleeve is just replaced, this is because the new
piston ring or cylinder sleeve hasn’t been properly run in, and things will get better after
working for a while.
(2) Breakage of piston ring, primary cause: the piston ring gets stuck and couldn’t rotate any
more, at this point, engine oil consumption problem is even severe, working condition of
this cylinder getting worse until the ring gets sintered and broken.
75
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
1. If the engine oil pump needs to replaced, you should pour clean diesel oil into the new pump
and clean it for a few times, and then pour clean engine oil into the pump to perform the last
cleaning (rotate the rotor in this process).
2. For an old engine oil pump, in addition to clean with diesel oil, all parts must be disassembled
and rinsed if necessary.
ATTENTION
When disassembling engine oil pump pressure-limiting valve, pay attention to mark the
original position of the adjusting plug, for the convenience of assembling.
YUCHAI products apply two kinds of engine oil pump, namely rotor pump (suitable for YC6112,
YC4112, YC4110, YC6105, YC4108 and YC6M engine) and gear pump (suitable for YC6108ZQB
and YC6L engine). As shown in Fig. 3-55 and Fig. 3-56.

Engine oil pumps of different engine models are not interchangeable. For YC4112, YC4110 and
YC4108 engine, engine oil pump is installed on front end of engine block; for YC6M engine, the
pump is installed on front end of engine block, but driven by crankshaft small end, meshing
clearance of these engines is guaranteed by machining precision of engine block. For YC6112,
YC6105, YC6108 and YC6L engine, the pump is installed on the first main bearing cap or lower
surface of engine block, the meshing clearance can be adjusted via the gaskets of engine oil sump
fastening bolts. As shown in Fig. 3-61.
Meshing clearance
0.07~0.3
1. Premature wear of rotor or drive gear and driven gear. Inner and outer rotors (or gears), engine
oil pump end cover and shaft sleeve tend to wear prematurely, which will result in engine oil
leakage problem and reduce oil pressure. Premature wear is mainly caused by inferior engine
oil or unclean engine oil, or engine oil filter failure.
2. Engine oil leakage caused by loose pump end cover shaft sleeve. This fault is mainly caused by
loose fitting between shaft sleeve and the sleeve fitting hole (on pump end cover) or undersized
fitting clearance between pump shaft and shaft sleeve, the sleeve gets stuck and rotates along
with the shaft.
3. Engine oil pump body is installed with engine oil pressure safety valve (except YC6105 engine
oil pump), you don’t need to adjust this valve under normal circumstance. If you suspect that
the pump is in failure after all other oil circuits are confirmed in good condition, you can try to
adjust the valve opening pressure, as shown in Fig. 3-55, screw-in the adjusting screw 9 to raise

Plate-fin engine oil cooler is applied by YUCHAI products, the inner core plate 6 is engine oil
circulating cooling passage. A by-pass valve is installed on the cooler, its opening pressure is
0.55MPa. The chamber between core plate 6 and cooler housing is filled with circulating water
from water tank to reduce engine oil temperature. As shown in Fig. 3-62.
80
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
4. Common fault of engine oil cooler is oil leakage problem of the core plate, and there will oil in
water under this circumstance, the fault is caused by loose-weld or fake-weld core plate copper
pipe joint. Another fault is housing crack or sealing gasket damage.
ATTENTION
In cold days, be sure to discharge all water in the cooler to avoid frost cracking.

fastened on engine block with M8 bolts. When assembling, apply 515 plane sealant on cover plate
and fasten the bolts crosswise.
1. Cleaning of camshaft
Structure and installation method of camshafts applied by YUCHAI products are basically the
same. Here we take YC6112 for example, refer to Fig. 2-48. When cleaning the camshaft, focus
on oil dirt on camshaft and deposit sediment in the oil holes. For camshaft of YC6105 and
YC6108 engine, the oil holes are processed on the third-cylinder and sixth-cylinder position
(used to feed oil to rocker arm); for camshaft of YC4108 engine, the oil holes are processed on
the second-cylinder and fourth-cylinder position, for camshaft of YC4110, YC4112, YC6112
and YC6L engine, only one oil hole is processed on the first-cylinder position; YC6M camshaft
is free of oil hole.
2. Inspection: check camshaft journal and cam appearance, which should be free of burn damage
and scratch, the key groove should be intact.
(1) Check camshaft journal diameter, specified camshaft journal diameter for each engine
model is listed in table 3-22. Refer to Fig. 3-63 for measuring method.

Idler shaft is fixed on engine block with bolts, when assembling idle gear and injection
timing gear, pay attention to the following items:
(1) Crankshaft timing gear, idle gear, camshaft gear and fuel injection pump gear
(except for YC6L fuel injection pump timing gear) are printed with timing mark,
these marks should be aligned accordingly when assembling.
(2) In Fig. 3-66, idler shaft in Figure A is processed with oil inlet hole, this hole should be
aligned to the related oil hole on engine block when assembling.

Air exhaust
Intake
88
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
Clean the intake and exhaust valve plates, valve seat and piston ring, wipe off the carbon deposit on
piston ring. These structures are critical for normal operating of air compressor and demand
absolute cleanness.
Check whether the air compressor intake and exhaust valves are normal. Checking method:
1. When the air compressor is not working, blow air into the intake pipe on cylinder cover by
mouth, the air intake valve is normal if the intake valve plate can open; conversely, absorb air
from the intake pipe on cylinder cover by mouth, the air intake valve is normal if no air can be
absorbed (intake valve plate cannot open). Checking method for exhaust valve is similar, the air
exhaust valve is normal if air cannot be blown into exhaust pipe but can be absorbed from the
pipe.
For the air compressor in Fig. 3-69, poke the intake valve plate with iron wire, stroke of the
valve plate controlled by spring should be 1~1.5mm, otherwise, there must be too much carbon
deposit or foreign matters on the valve plate.
2. When the air compressor is working, block the air intake port by hand and you should feel
being absorbed other than pushed, otherwise the intake valve plate is not fully closed. For a
normal compressor, the air pressure should reach 0.7MPa or above after about 5min
intermediate-speed working. If fail to reach this pressure in 10min, then the compressor is in
failure.
3. Fitting clearance between woodruff key and key groove on air compressor shaft should not be
too big, otherwise, the key groove can be easily damaged and cause incorrect fuel supply
advance angle.
Air compressor of different engine model is installed on different position, connection type between
air compressor gear and intermediate idle gear is different too. For YC6105 and YC4110 engine, air
compressor gear is directly connected with intermediate idle gear; for YC4112, YC6108ZLQ,
YC6112 and YC6L engine, air compressor intermediate gear is connected with camshaft gear and
intermediate idle gear; for YC6M engine, air compressor gear is connected with intermediate gear
via camshaft gear.
ATTENTION
(1) When assembling air compressor, ensure meshing clearance between each gear pair
89
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
is within 0.07~0.25mm, check and adjust the meshing clearance before fully
tightening air compressor fastening bolts.
(2) For engine for fuel injection pump is installed on rear end of air compressor (such as
YC6105ZLQ), ensure air compressor gear and intermediate idle gear are properly
engaged when assembling.
(3) When assembling YC4108 air compressor, note that the fastening bolt near engine
block is fine tooth thread bolt, do not make mistake.
1. Premature wear of air compressor piston ring. Service life of a new air compressor piston ring
is generally more than 100 thousand kilometers under normal working condition. If the
compressor is hard to compress air in 55 thousand kilometers or under, then it can be
considered that air compressor piston ring is prematurely worn. The main cause is unclean
intake air. Firstly, as an air filter is designed to filter the intake air, improper maintenance of the
filter or air leakage problem in intake pipe joint will cause this fault; secondly, poor lubricating
of air compressor can accelerate the wear process; thirdly, frequently long-time working of air
compressor together with high engine oil temperature can easily cause premature wear.
2. Too much carbon deposit on intake and exhaust valve plates and valve seat will cause the valve
plate unable to close fully. In this case, air compressor cannot work normally and required
compression pressure cannot be attained. The main causes are: firstly, unclean air intake by air
compressor; secondly, sealing performance between piston ring and cylinder bore is poor, too
high air pressure in crankcase (especially when cylinder sleeve and piston ring are severely
worn) or intake blockage of air pump can easily lead to bursting up, combustion of engine oil
can produce carbon deposit, which can block air hole and make the valve plate unable to close
fully. In addition, intake and exhaust valve plate of non-supercharger air compressor applies
spring-return mode, if the spring gets soft or inflexible , the valve plate cannot be closed fully
either, which will cause air leakage.
3. Burning of bearing shell: Lubricating oil for air compressor comes from engine, so if the engine
oil is inferior, engine oil pressure is abnormal or engine oil gallery is blocked by deposit
sediment, lubricating oil to air compressor will be insufficient, and these are main causes for
burning of air compressor bearing shell. Besides the caused mentioned above, poor circulating
of cooling water is another cause (for supercharger).
4. Oil leaking from air compressor rear end. The main cause is ageing failure of air compressor
crankshaft rear oil seal (Loose air compressor bearing can easily bring oil leakage problem).
90
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
When installing a new air compressor, it’s better to apply suitable engine oil on oil seals.
5. Engine oil bursts into air compressor exhaust port. The main cause is oversized fitting clearance
between air compressor piston ring and cylinder bore or broken piston ring, and blockage of
intake, which will cause too much engine oil in air compress and crankcase, and easily result in
to engine oil bursting.
ATTENTION
If the air compressor bearing (on fuel injection pump side) tends to be damaged easily,
please pay attention to check whether coaxiality of air compressor and fuel injection
pump meets the requirements, refer to Fig. 3-74.
91
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
Lubrication of fuel injection pump is divided into independent lubrication and forced lubrication.
For independent lubrication, it is required to add engine oil into fuel injection pump governor and
fuel injection pump body periodically; for forced lubrication, an engine oil pipe that connected to
engine block main oil gallery is used to lubricate fuel injection pump, because the oil source is
engine oil sump, the clearness of engine oil is hardly assured. Thus, before installing the fuel
injection pump you should remove the dust and foreign matters on the pump, and more importantly,
you should clean with diesel oil (fill from the engine oil inlet port) to remove the deposit sediment
in the pump. Besides, a strainer is installed in oil inlet port of fuel delivery pump, and should be
removed and cleaned at the same time.
Before assembling the pump, you should check whether the fuel-increase handle and fuel cut-off
handle are flexible, check whether there is dirt on fuel delivery joint and clean it. Fuel injection
pump of YC6108ZLQB and YC6L engine is designed with timer, when installing the pump, you
must make sure the pump is in state of feeding fuel to cylinder 1 (cylinder 1 in TDC), as shown in
Fig. 3-71.

A shaft-locking bolt is installed on left side of VE pump body cold start accelerating advance unit,
pressed by a U-shape gasket, as shown in Fig. 3-72. When a new pump is delivered, the pump is
adjusted to cylinder-1 fuel-feeding position and no U-shape gasket is needed, pump shaft is pressed
by the shaft-locking bolt directly (at this point, please don’t rotate the pump shaft, otherwise the
pump can be damaged).
1. For YC6105ZLQ engine, no matter it is equipped with P pump or VE pump, the pump is
directly connected with air compressor shaft with connecting plate and two bolts. Firstly you
should tighten the pump bracket fastening bolts, and then tightening the connecting bolts
between the pump and air compressor. ATTENTION: you must ensure the pump is adjusted to
cylinder-1 fuel-feeding position in this process. As shown in Fig. 3-71 and Fig. 3-73.
Coaxiality error between fuel injection pump shaft and air compressor shaft should be no more
than 0.4mm. Checking method: keep the dial gauge outfit straightly against the excircle plane
of advance unit, rotate the advance unit for one full circle and record the gauge maximum
reading difference at this same time, and this is coaxiality error. If no dial gauge is available,
refer to the method exposed in Fig. 3-74 to do the measuring. Rotate the crankshaft for one full
circle, measure the clearance between the measuring screw and advance unit when the
measuring screw is in the highest position and lowest position, the clearance should be no more
than 0.4mm.

2. For YC6108ZLQB and YC6L engine, fuel injection pump transmission shaft 4 is connected
with fuel injection pump 3, so when installing the pump, you should install the transmission
shaft on gear housing firstly, and install pump support 14 on engine block, as shown in Fig.
3-75. And then place the pump on pump support, insert the pump external spline 17 into
transmission shaft, press the driving sleeve in position and tighten bolt 9, and then tighten the
fastening bolt 8 between fuel injection pump and the driving sleeve, tightening the fastening
bolt 13 between fuel injection pump and pump support.
Coaxiality between transmission shaft and fuel injection pump is critical for this kind of
connection: As long as the external spline can fit flexibly when the adjusting screw plug 6 is
not tightened, coaxiality between transmission shaft and fuel injection pump is basically
conformed with the request. If the external spline cannot fit-in flexibly, you can wiggle the
driving sleeve 7 inward or outward by using the adjusting screw plug 6, or add suitable copper
gasket on pump support to solve the problem.
94
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
installing the pump, you should install the coupling on gear housing cover plate first, and then
install the pump timing gear, install the pump on pump support, and connect the pump and
coupling with key.
ATTENTION
When installing the pump, you must ensure the pump is adjusted to cylinder-1
fuel-feeding position. As shown in Fig. 3-71 and Fig. 3-83.
4. Installation of YC4112 and YC6112 engine fuel injection pump.
Fuel injection pump of these two engine models is connected with gear housing cover plate by
connecting plate, and fastened on pump support. Before tightening the pump fastening bolts,
you should insert the timing locating pin into the pin hole on fuel injection pump firstly, rotate
the pump shaft left and right until the pin is pressed into the timing plate, tightening the pump
fastening bolts and pull the timing locating pin out. At this point, the pump is adjusted to
cylinder-1 fuel-feeding position, as shown in Fig. 3-86.
5. Installation of YC4110 engine fuel injection pump.
Fuel injection pump of these two engine models is connected with gear housing cover plate by
connecting plate, and fastened on pump support. Advance unit is designed on this kind of fuel
injection pump and the pump timing gear is fastened on advance unit with four bolts 8, as
shown in Fig. 3-76. Ensure the pump is adjusted to cylinder-1 fuel-feeding position when
installing, as shown in Fig. 3-77.

Pump body
Woodruff key
1. Premature wear of plunger and plunger sleeve. Phenomena: the most common phenomenon is
diesel oil leakage problem in pump body. For A type fuel injection pump, bubble will come out
from plunger lower spring seat and a significant drop in power is produced when the pump is
working at low-middle speed. Fuel feeding quantity for each marked point is hard to be
adjusted equally. Causes: too much water content in the diesel oil, fuel filter is damaged or
cannot filter normally.
2. The plunger gets scratched or jammed. Phenomena: fuel feeding rate is reduced, engine speed
and power fall simultaneously. Causes: firstly, fitting clearance between plunger and plunger
sleeve is too small, overloaded engine plus high engine oil temperature can easily lead to
scratching and jamming of plunger; secondly, the fuel filter element is inferior or damaged and
the fuel is not properly filtered. Thirdly, delivery valve joint is overly tightened, which can
deform the plunger sleeve and jam the plunger.
3. Breakage of fuel delivery valve and fuel delivery valve spring. Phenomena: the faulty cylinder
doesn’t work or work poorly, engine power is reduced. Cause: the part has quality problem.
4. Insufficient fuel feeding rate of fuel delivery pump. Phenomena: the engine is hard to start or
engine speed is hard to increase. Causes: Firstly, filter screen in fuel delivery pump oil inlet
joint is blocked (needs to be cleaned), a new engine tends to have this kind of problem more
easily, please be sure to clean the filter frequently. Secondly, the check valve is deformed or
contains too much dirt (replace or clean). As shown in Fig. 3-78, simple method to check
whether the check valve can work normally: absorb air from fuel delivery pump oil inlet port
96
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
by mouth, oil inlet check valve is properly sealed if no air can be absorbed; blow air into fuel
delivery pump oil outlet pipe by mouth, oil outlet check valve is properly sealed if no air can be
blown in. Thirdly, fuel delivery pump piston is worn, piston spring gets weak or broken, which
can result in insufficient fuel feeding rate of delivery pump. Fourthly, the fuel delivery pump
has leakage problem. If diesel oil is found when replacing or filling engine oil into the pump
housing and the leaked diesel oil is not from plunger, then it must be caused by aging and
damaged seal ring of fuel delivery pump roller.

TIPS
(1) Sometimes rough idling occurs when retracting the accelerator pedal, and it seems
like the engine is about to flame out at this point. This problem is caused by
insufficient preload force of speed regulator stabilizing spring, increase the preload
force properly can solve this problem.
(2) For engine rough high-medium speed running problem, many causes (such as shape
and structure of plunger and fuel delivery valve , and governor) are involved.
97
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
6. Engine is difficult to start. If the failure is caused by fuel injection pump, then the pump must
fail to feed enough fuel for starting. Causes: the plungers are severely worn, severe leakage
happens when the engine speed is low or the pump is improperly adjusted. Cause for VE pump:
advance unit failure, which can affect fuel feeding timing and make the engine difficult to start.
7. Insufficient engine power. The so-called insufficient engine power is that the driver can feel the
vehicle is hard to speed up on level road (engine fails to reach specified speed) or the vehicle is
powerless uphill (engine fails to output specified torque). If the failure is caused by fuel
injection pump, then the pump high-speed application point must be improperly adjusted, the
pump prematurely reduces fuel feeding rate at high speed, which causes the engine fails to
reach specified speed. Handling method: Far better to readjust fuel delivery pump high-speed
application point (engine speed at fuel delivery pump high-speed application point is generally
about 1.01 times of the rated speed.). A technically skilled maintenance man is able to increase
the preload force of the speed governor high-speed spring to improve the pump high-speed
application point without affecting other working conditions, as shown in Fig. 3-79; or you can
adjust the full-load oil-volume adjusting screw (screw in for about 1/4 circle) on the governor
to improve engine speed by increasing fuel feeding rate.
98
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
Method for RQV-K governor to improve output torque: Remove the boost compensator and
then loosen the fastening screw of full-load stop block, move the stop block towards pump
body to improve engine output torque (increase torqueing fuel feeding rate by increasing travel
distance of control handle). As shown in Fig. 3-80.

Installation method of fuel injection pump timing gear for different engine model is different:
1. For YC6108ZLQB, YC6L and YC6M engine, the pump is connected with pump timing gear by
coupling. When installing the pump, you should install the coupling on gear housing cover
plate first, and then install the pump timing gear, install the pump on pump support, and
connect the pump and coupling with key. Make sure the pump is in cylinder-1 fuel-feeding
position. Method to adjust fuel injection pump feeding position: For YC6108ZLQB engine, the
mark on advance unit should be aligned to the pump body cylinder-1 fuel-feeding position, as
shown in Fig. 3-82. For YC6L engine, a timer is used for positioning. Rotate the pump
camshaft until the positioning block is aligned to the timer notch, and this is cylinder-1
fuel-feeding position, as shown in Fig. 3-71. For YC6M engine, when the mark on connecting
set is aligned to the mark on pump connecting plate, the pump is adjusted to cylinder-1
fuel-feeding position, as shown in Fig. 3-83. When the adjustment of cylinder-1 fuel-feeding
position is finished, do not rotate the pump shaft any further, and you should install the timing
gear on pump shaft and fasten the bolts at this point.

2. For YC6105ZLQ engine, air pump is connected with fuel injection pump shaft. When
assembling, you just need to install the injection pump timing gear and idle gear on air pump
shaft by aligning the timing marks, and then fasten the bolts.
3. For YC4110 and YC4108 engine, the pump timing gear is fastened on advance unit with bolts,
and the advance unit is connected with pump shaft by woodruff key. When assembling, you
should set the pump to cylinder-1 fuel-feeding position firstly, as shown in Fig. 3-84. And then
install the advance unit, as shown in Fig. 3-76.

Different engine models apply different dampers, but they are all installed on small end of
crankshaft. Two kinds of dampers are adopted by YUCHAI products, namely rubber damper and
silicone oil damper. Some of YC6112, YC6108 and YC6105 engines apply silicone oil damper, as
shown in Fig. 3-85. Before the assembling, you should check damping rubber and the shell for
looseness, fitting clearance between key and key groove mustn’t be oversized, otherwise it may
damage the damper.

TIPS
For some engine models, interference fit is adopted between damper and crankshaft small
end, and no key and key groove is needed, but assembled with special tools. The damper
may rotate if the interference value is undersized, valve timing may change under such
circumstance.
Use pulley disassembling tools to assemble the damper, never knock fiercely and blindly
to prevent damaging pulley and damper rubber.
Major failure of damper is fall-off of damper rubber, which is mainly caused by uneven
force on each pulley belt (installation position of A/C is not reasonable) and loose belt,
leading to excessive vibration of damper.
After the belts are assembled, align the TDC marks: rotate the crankshaft until piston of
cylinder 1 reaches compression TDC, check whether the TDC pointer on front end of
engine block is aligned to “0” mark on pulley, align them if not.

1.First, connect 1 fuel pump connection plate and 2 fuel injection pump
2.Install the assembly on the body and lock it
3.Install 3 injection pump gear connection plate on the pump shaft and lock with large nut
4.Turn the large nut to observe the first cylinder fuel injection port and turn it to the first cylinder
oil port to generate fuel. Then the crankshaft is reversed at a certain angle, slowly turning
forward, carefully observe the oil level at the oil pipe joint. When the oil surface starts to move,
stop rotating immediately and find the first cylinder fuel injection point.
5.Install 4 fuel injection pump gears, pay attention to the alignment of the marks, do not lock the
oil pump gears
6. Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise 15° and use the pressure plate to lock the 4 gears
and the 3 fuel injection pump gear connection plate to complete the fuel injection pump
installation.
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
Step 1: Rotate the crankshaft until piston of cylinder 1 reaches compression TDC, align the TDC
pointer on front end of engine block to required fuel feeding angle mark on pulley, stop rotating the
crankshaft.
Step 2: Rotate the fuel pump camshaft until the centering pin hole on inner timing plate is upright,
install the timing gear and gear compression plate, insert the timing locating pin into the holes on
pump gear compression plate, timing gear connecting plate and inner timing plate, as shown in Fig.
3-86. The pump is adjusted to cylinder-1 fuel-feeding position when the four holes are aligned.
Step 3: Tightening the pump fastening bolts and pull the timing locating pin out.
TIPS
At this point, the fuel feeding angle is not necessarily accurate, and you should check it
again when test-run the machine. The method is: remove the connecting nuts between
high pressure fuel pipe of cylinder 1 and fuel injection pump, and then rotate the
crankshaft, stop rotating when the oil in cylinder-1 fuel delivery valve seat joint is surging
up slightly, loosen the four fastening bolts of fuel injection pump. Rotate the crankshaft
left and right until required fuel injection angle is acquired, install the four fastening
bolts.

Structure of oil strainer assembly is very simple, but attention should still be paid to the
requirements regarding its installing and maintaining, because it will always have the possibility of
failure. The oil strainer assembly structure is shown in Fig. 3-87.
Oil dirt and debris on the strainer must be cleared away. During assembly or subassembly, gaskets
must not be distorted or damaged. When installing engine oil pump, the flange gasket 1 must be flat
and free of wrinkle, requirements for oil pump outlet pipe flange gasket are the same. For support
plate of strainer oil pipe, no crack is allowed, and no deformation or big distortion to the plate after
assembling to prevent damage under severe vibration. Flange gasket should not be reused.
If strainer gets clogged during working, engine oil pressure gauge might indicate no pressure
change or little pressure change when engine accelerates from the idle speed to high speed, or
engine oil pressure can reach 0.1~ 0.2MPa when starting, but nearly no pressure rise after
accelerating. This is because the strainer is partially blocked.
The oil sump is a thin-walled part, and generally you should not hit it fiercely, so as to avoid
deformation which affects use. A gasket is installed between oil sump and engine block for sealing,
so the gasket must be completely free of damage. When installing, exert your strength diagonally
and evenly, especially for the fitting surface between gear housing and oil sump front end, no
protrusion to the engine block lower plane is allowed, otherwise the oil sump won't be able to be
sealed.
105
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
TIPS
An oil drain plug is installed on bottom of the oil sump, there is a magnet inside the plug,
which is used to absorb and collect scrap iron in engine oil. After a period time of working,
you should drain out the engine oil and check whether there is scrap iron on the plug, find out
the and cause and eliminate the problem if so. As shown in Fig. 2-58.
Interference fit is adopted between flywheel and gear ring assembly. When assembling them, you
should heat gear ring to above 120oC firstly, and then press it into the flywheel. Heating method:
generally heat it directly with fire is feasible. Do not heat it with blow torch or acetylene flame,
because it may cause inhomogeneous heating, and high local temperature may soften the gear ring.
Common faults:
1. Looseness of gear ring: The main reason is that the fit clearance between the flywheel and gear
ring is too large.
2. Bump damage on gear tooth surface: Firstly, this may be caused by time mismatching between
motion of starter gear (trigged by starter electromagnetic switch) and power on of the motor
(quality problem of own); secondly, it may be caused by deformation of the starter motor gear
tooth, which will result in poor engagement problem (repair the tooth surface can solve this
problem).
3. Deflection or vibration of the flywheel: For this problem, you need to check if the runout of
crankshaft big end face (to the axis) is within the prescribed range (less than 0.038 mm), and
whether flywheel bolts are evenly tightened.
TIPS
Pay attention to check if the flywheel bolt and depth of bolt hole match.
3112 Clutch
1. Inspection of clutch
Inspection: Damper spring mustn’t be broken, all rivets mustn’t be loose, driven plate body
mustn’t be fractured, friction plate mustn’t be delaminated or with large crack. The diaphragm
and separation claw should be in the same plane in principle, at least the height difference
should be less than 0.4 mm. The clutch counterweight should be installed in its original
106
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
position.
2. Installation of clutch
Before the installation of clutch, you should clear away oil dirt and foreign matter on the
friction plates. Connecting bolts between clutch cover and the flywheel should be fastened
uniformly in diagonal way.
3. Clutch common faults
(1) Clutch slipping: Slipping phenomenon mainly manifested in incomplete output of engine
working torque, poor loadability and burning of clutch friction plate, and when the problem
gets more serious, it may be difficult to start the engine. The main causes are: undersized
free stroke of clutch pedal, too small clearance between release bearing and release lever,
too much oil dirt or delamination crack on clutch surface, and burned off layer, and
insufficient force of pressure spring.
(2) Dragging and shaking of clutch. The main causes are: oversized free stroke of clutch pedal,
which may put the clutch in semi-contact status; release spring gets softened, broken or
unbalanced; misadjusting of clutch middle pressure plate stop screw; the driven plate is
wrongly installed (positive & negative); faults in main hydraulic cylinder and booster
cylinder (for hydraulically operated clutch).
(3) Clutch produces abnormal sound. The abnormal sound is caused by bumping or scraping.
The main causes are: release bearing is damaged, and its rotation is not flexible and
produces abnormal sound; looseness or breakage of driven plate steel disc or rivet, which
will result in bumping problem; abrasion and looseness of release lever, control mechanism
is stuck and inflexible, which may result in colliding of friction plates; likewise, abrasion
and looseness of clutch middle pressure plate pin hole and pin can also produce abnormal
sound.
1. Installation: connect the flywheel shell to the rear end of engine block, and take two steps to
tighten the bolts to required torque with the stipulated torque crosswise, and check the
coaxiality between flywheel shell stop groove (locating surface, such as surface A in Fig. 3-88)
and crankshaft axis, as shown in figure 3-88. Measuring method: attach the magnetic dial
indicator seat to crankshaft big end, stick the meter header vertically the stop groove (surface A)
(preload the meter header for about 1~2mm), rotate the crankshaft for one circle and record the
maximum reading on the meter, and that is coaxiality error between flywheel shell stop groove
and crankshaft axis. The coaxiality error should be no more than 0.4mm, if fail to meet the
107
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
requirements, you can loosen flywheel shell fastening bolts and adjust, tighten the bolts and
measure again. If still fail to meet the requirements, replace the flywheel shell and check again.

valve head with gasoline or kerosene, and let it stand for about 3min, the sealing performance is
good if no leakage phenomenon occur. Otherwise, you should grind the valve sealing strip, or
do the grinding work after reaming, as shown in Fig. 3-93 and Fig. 3-94. If grinding or reaming
is temporarily unavailable, you can knock the valve big-end head for temporary use.

dedicated tool to install it, as shown in Fig. 3-95, note that the end with bigger chamfer should
be upward. To prevent deforming the guide pipe during assembling, it is better to cool it with
liquid-nitrogen for 10~15min before installing. If inner bore of the guide pipe is deformed after
assembling, be sure to ream it with suitable reamer as long as the valve can move up and down
flexibly.
ATTENTION
Chamfer is designed on one end of the valve seat ring for convenience of assembling.
The valve seat ring has been preliminary reamed before delivered together with cylinder cover,
but not to its use standard, you should grind it to match the new valve before use. As shown in
Fig. 3-94.
be fully combusted with good combustion quality; conversely, the fuel combustion will be poor
and incomplete. So fuel injector protrusion is vitally important and should be properly
controlled. Refer to table 3-29 for standard fuel injector protrusion of different engine models,
if the measured value is not in the specified range, you can add gaskets to meet the
requirements.
REQUIREMENT
Prior to the measuring, be sure to assemble the injector into cylinder cover and tighten
the fastening bolt/nut to specified torque.
ATTENTION
For some models such as YC6105 YC6108, you should install the injector copper bush 5
and then install the injector assembly.

5. Installation of cylinder cover
(1) Installation of cylinder cover gasket: cylinder cover gasket is divided into two types,
namely unitary type (one gasket for one engine) and split type (one gasket for one cylinder
cover). Divides according to structure, some cylinder cover gaskets are of hybrid type
(asbestos plus steel disc), some are of single steel disc type. YC6L engine adopts unitary
single steel disc cylinder gasket; while YC6M engine adopts split-type single steel disc
cylinder gasket. YC6112 (300PS is of single steel disc type), YC4112, YC6105, YC6108
(YC6108ZC is of single steel disc type), YC4110 and YC4108 engine are designed with
hybrid type cylinder gasket, pay attention to the front and back when assembling, the front
side should be upward and fit with cylinder cover bottom surface, as shown in Fig. 3-99.
YC6112 YC6108
Engine model YC6105 YC6L YC6M YC4110

115
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
TIPS
YC6M engine adopts split-type cylinder gasket (one gasket for one cylinder cover), prior
to fastening cylinder cover bolts, you should connect the exhaust pipe to cylinder cover
and fix it with bolts, otherwise the exhaust pipe joint may have air leakage problem. For
YC6M engine, there are two kinds of cylinder cover bolts, namely main cylinder cover
bolts and auxiliary cylinder cover bolts, the main bolt head is bigger, tighten torque of
main cylinder cover bolts and auxiliary cylinder cover bolts are different, please pay
attention to this.
6. Installation of valve rocker arm and rocker arm shaft
(1) Valve rocker arm is divided into intake valve rocker arm and exhaust valve rocker arm. For
all engine models except YC6M, the rocker arm is designed with rocker arm shaft sleeve.
Two kinds of lubricating methods for rocker arm are involved, as shown in Fig. 3-101 and
Fig. 3-102.

(3) Requirements for installation of rocker arm shaft and rocker arm: Firstly, install related
parts on rocker arm shaft and rocker arm shaft seat; secondly, for YC6L engine, oil inlet
hole on rocker arm seat must be aligned to oil hole on cylinder cover; thirdly, for YC6112
and YC4112 engine, one end of rocker arm shaft is processed with groove, the end with
groove should face front end of engine, as shown in Fig. 3-104; fourthly, oil inlet hole or
groove on rocker arm shaft should face downward when assembling, otherwise oil inlet
passage of rocker arm shaft will be blocked; fifthly, when installing rocker arm of YC6L
engine, the injector assembly and valve bridge must be assembled together, as shown in
Fig. 3-105.

Required injector opening pressure for each engine model is listed in table 3-32, and refer to
Fig. 3-110 for inspection and adjusting method.

25~26 26~27 22~24 25~26 25.5~26.5 27.5~28.3 23.5~25.5
(MPa)
TIPS
1) Requirements for adjusting of injector opening pressure: the opening pressure must
within the required range, injected diesel oil must be atomized enough and has a
certain spray angle, more importantly, and the injector should be free of fuel
dripping phenomenon when the injection process is finished. When inspecting, you
should operate the handle at a speed of 100 times per minute to check atomization
effect. If the fuel can only be properly atomized at high operating speed and bad
atomization effect or dripping fuel at low operating speed, then it means that the
engine low-speed performance is definitely poor, generally the engine produces black
smoke at low speed.
2) Selection of injector opening pressure: in a certain pressure range, the higher the
selected injector opening pressure, the larger the engine output power, but the noise
increases too; on the contrary, the lower the selected injector opening pressure, the
smaller the engine output power, but the noise decreases too, therefore you should
select suitable opening pressure based on real working condition.
(3) When installing injector assembly into cylinder cover, note that the protrusion adjusting
gasket mustn’t be lost; when installing injector high pressure fuel pipe, be sure to take three
steps to tighten the thread sleeve on both ends of the pipe crosswise, the pipe may crack if
121
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
ATTENTION
For YC6105 and YC6108 engine, the water in cylinder cover will leak into combustion
chamber if the injector copper bush is loose and cracked.
2. Premature wear of valve and valve seat ring: main causes are unclean intake air, oversized
intake valve clearance, undersized exhaust valve clearance and valve burning.
3. Valve head is cracked, main causes are: the valve own quality problem, oversized valve
clearance and results in knocking problem; for a vehicle equipped with exhaust brake, if the
exhaust brake is clogged, exhaust bounce-back phenomenon may occur, which can easily lead
to fall off of valve lock clamp and damage the valve.
4. Premature wear of valve rocker arm shaft, valve head (the end with adjusting screw), contact
surface between valve rod head and rocker arm, causes: engine oil pressure is low, insufficient
lubricating of rocker arm; lubricating oil from rocker arm fails to get to adjusting screw and
valve rod head and result in dry friction due to unreasonable structure and shape of rocker arm.
5. Rocker arm shaft module: burning of rocker arm copper bush and rocker arm shaft. Main
causes: engine oil pressure is low and fails to lubricate the rocker arm; the nuts of oil pipe on
rocker arm seat are loose and leaking oil or the oil pipe is cracked.
6. Burning or seizure of tappet, tappet of YC4108, YC6105, YC6108 and YC6L engine is
lubricated by engine oil from cylinder cover rocker arm, if engine oil pressure is low or fitting
clearance between tappet and engine block is too small, a dead end oil chamber will be formed
and will accumulate dirt, which will result in burning damage; besides oil from cylinder cover
rocker arm, tappet of YC4110, YC4112, YC6112 and YC6M engine is also lubricated by
engine oil from main oil gallery, so the common fault of the later four engine models is seizure
of tappet.
7. Common faults of injector assembly
(1) Broken of injector assembly fastening stud, the stud is small (generally M10), it may break
122
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
due to stress concentration if being tightened by open-end wrench or spline end wrench
(the torque is hard to control) rather than torque wrench.
(2) Two situations are involved for jamming of injector matching part: for the first situation,
the needle valve is jammed in open position, at this point the fuel cannot be atomized and
fully combusted, the engine produces black smoke or white smoke; for the second situation,
the needle valve is jammed in close position, at this point this cylinder has no fuel feeding
and doesn’t work. No matter which situation it is, the engine power will reduce and
accompany with noise. Main causes for jamming of injector matching part are: unclean
diesel oil, the needle valve gets jammed by dirt; fuel feeding is abnormal, bad combustion,
injector nozzle is ablated and accumulated with too much carbon deposit; oversized fuel
feeding angle and high fuel feeding rate, which will result in long-time combustion and
high engine temperature.
8. Burning of cylinder (cover) gasket: the fault is manifested in delaminating of cylinder gasket
fire-protection ring sheetmetal and burning of its stuffing (steel gasket is free of this
phenomenon), which will damage the gasket and result in gas carry-over problem (to outside or
water channel) and water leakage (external leakage or internal leakage to cylinder sleeve) of
cylinder cover. Main causes: poor combustion and bad heat dissipation, which will result in
high engine temperature; cylinder cover bolts are not fully or evenly tightened, which will
enlarge cylinder gasket heating surface and lengthen heating time; oversized valve clearance,
high exhaust temperature and oversized fuel feeding angle are also causes of cylinder gasket
burning. When gas carry-over phenomenon occurs, abnormal sound will be produced and
engine power will reduce.
ATTENTION
(1) If burning of cylinder (cover) gasket makes the cylinder and water channel
communicate with each other, many bubbles will rise from water tank.
(2) If a certain cylinder cover gasket is easily to get burnt, you should check whether the
protrusion of cylinder cover locating sleeve meets the requirements, meanwhile, when
tightening cylinder cover bolts, you should start from there. So far, no burning of
cylinder (cover) gasket caused by deformation of cylinder cover is found.

dripping from water pump overflow hole). Main causes for damage of water seal are water
seal aging failure and longtime no lubricating of water pump. Wear and looseness of water
pump bearing will also result in water leakage problem, so when replacing the water seal
with a new one, it is better to coat the inner bore of water seal with grease, because the
grease not only can play a role of sealing, but also can prevent damage of water seal due to
dry friction.
(2) Wear of water pump bearing, which can result in sever radial swing of water pump
impeller, even colliding with pump body.
Wear of water pump bearing is of two kinds: wear of bearing ball is the first kind; and wear
of both bearing external circle surface and bearing seat bore. One of the causes is
lubricating oil shortage (you should fill grease via the grease nozzle twice a month), the
other cause is loose fit between the bearing and bearing seat.
(3) Water pump produces abnormal noise: the fault is mainly caused by severely damaged ball
bearing which can result in sever radial swing of water pump impeller, even colliding with
pump body. If the abnormal noise is friction noise and produced by contacting of water
pump shaft and water pump end cover due to oversized axial movement of the shaft, you
can eliminate the problem by adjusting the thickness of gasket between water pump end
cover and water pump body, refer to part 11 and 13 in Fig. 3-111.
When installing the water pump, pay attention apply sealant on the pump gasket and
tighten the bolts to required torque.

TIPS
Simple method to determine whether the silicone oil is in good condition: cold-start the
engine idly for several minutes, and then shut down the engine immediately, stir the fan
blades by hand and should feel easy and flexible, because at this point the silicone oil
around driving plate has been thrown back to silicone oil chamber; start the engine again
and continue to heat it, and then shut down the engine, stir the fan blades again and you
should feel heavy, because at this point, the temperature is high and the area between
driving plate and driven plate has been filled up with silicone oil, in this case you have to
overcome the silicone oil friction to rotate the fan, which also indicates that the fan is in
good condition.
Outside shape and installing condition of fan have great effect on engine temperature, hence
structural shape and dimensions of fan must conform to its design requirements, and a
deformed fan mustn’t be reused. A fan with poor dynamic balance will produce excessive
vibration during working and provide bad cooling effect, so when installing radiator and fan
cover, you must reasonably fit them with the fan to improve cooling performance.

in gear housing.
3. Common faults of steering pump
(1) Premature wear of steering pump rotor, stator and front and rear oil distribution disc. The
oil used by steering pump is anti-wear hydraulic oil, if the oil is inferior or the oil seal (part
15 in Fig. 3-114) is damaged, too much dirty engine oil will flow into steering pump and
result in premature wear.
(2) Low oil pressure of steering pump and steering heavy. Under the circumstance of normal
oil supplying and abrasion, main cause for this fault is: steady flow valve spring and safety
valve spring get softened or inflexible due to longtime no cleaning, which will result in
untimely oil discharge and pressure reduce. The solution is to clean the valve springs or
add gaskets on upper end of the spring.
(3) Hydraulic oil level in steering pump oil tank increases, while engine oil reduces. The main
cause is aging and damage of steering pump oil seal (part 15 in Fig. 3-114), which turns the
steering pump into a “engine pump”, engine oil is absorbed into the steering pump oil tank
through the damaged oil seal.

measured resistance value is large, it indicates coil open circuit; if the measured resistance
value is small, it indicates interturn short circuit. (Refer to generator instruction manual for
standard resistance value).
Inspection of open circuit and short circuit of armature coil, refer to Fig. 3-115. Disconnect
generator terminal N wiring, use a multimeter to measure the resistance between generator
terminal N and rectifier diode positive (on generator end cover) for three times, if the three
measured values have no big difference, then it indicates that the armature is normal; it is
short circuit if the resistance is very large; and it is short circuit if the resistance is much
smaller than specified value.

(2) Check two ends of turbocharger for oil leakage, if there is engine oil leakage, then the
turbocharger seal ring must be damaged.
(3) For a normal turbocharger, the bypass valve adjustment lever can be operated by hand with
big strength, otherwise the control valve may be rusted and jammed, check and eliminate
the problem.
3. Installation of turbocharger
Fill up the inner cavity of turbocharger with engine oil, rotate the shaft for a few circles to fully
lubricate the bearings with engine oil, and then discharge the engine oil and install the exhaust
pipe joint, note that the connections between turbocharger and air filter & engine intake pipe
must be firm, no short circuit or air leakage is allowed. The connecting gasket between
turbocharger and exhaust pipe is heat-resistance gasket, do not replace it with other gasket.
4. Common faults of turbocharger
(1) Burn or severe wear of floating bearing, refer to Fig. 3-122. Under normal conditions, you
should feel very easy and flexible when rotating the rotor shaft, otherwise the bearing is
burnt and inflexible. If bearing is severely worn, the shaft will shake if raise the rotor shaft
by hand. Main causes: firstly, engine oil is inferior or insufficient; secondly, the user failed
to follow the requirements in instruction manual to maintain the turbocharger (run the
engine idly for 3~5min after starting and before shutting down); thirdly, longtime overload
working, which will result in poor heat dissipation and accelerate the wear process.

TIPS
Thermostat should be selected based on engine model.
2. Before installing the turbocharger, you should put it in hot water for inspection, to check and
ensure the thermostat can open automatically.
3. Common faults of thermostat
The most common fault is malfunction of thermostat, the malfunction is embodied in two
aspects: firstly, the thermostat fails to open at specified temperature; secondly, the thermostat
can open normally, but the stroke of minor circulation is insufficient and minor circulation pipe
cannot be closed fully, in this case, the circulation of water outlet pipe cannot be controlled,
which can result in high engine water temperature. When checking, you should put the
138
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
thermostat in hot water to open it and then place it on thermostat seat immediately, the
thermostat is normal if the minor circulation pipe can be fully blocked by the minor circulation
valve.
Generally, the thermostat should be replaced once malfunctioned. If no new thermostat is
available and engine water temperature is high, you can disassemble the thermostat and plug
the minor circulation pipe orifice for emergency, otherwise, the water temperature will get
higher when there is only minor circulation and no major circulation.

After the assembling process is finished, the next works we should do are to inspect, run-in and
debug the complete engine. These works are very important and special attention should be paid.

and reliable.
ATTENTION
When starting the engine for the first time, it is better to close the throttle and just run
the starter motor idly to check whether there is abnormal noise produced by the engine,
to avoid after-starting failure caused by potential quality hazard. Besides, do not install
the air filter when starting the engine for the first time, so as to plug the intake pipe and
stop the engine in case of accident.

drain plug, if the engine oil is turned white (mixed with water), then there must be water
leakage problem, find out and cause and eliminate it.
3. Air leakage
Mainly check air cylinders for gas carry-over, check whether is bubble coming out from water
tank, check air compressor air inlet and outlet pipe joints for air leakage. Check each joint of
turbocharger and intercooler for air leakage.
4. Water temperature
When test-run the engine, the specified valve of water temperature is just for reference, and
cannot be used as basis to judge whether engine water temperature is normal. Because when
test engine on testbed, the water in water tank is circulating water and the engine is not affected
by wind speed; when test engine on vehicle, the engine is temporary not fully loaded, so the
measured water temperature is unrepresentative. Therefore, when estimating engine water
temperature, you should keep the engine under 70% rated load, engine water temperature is
normal if it increases as engine speed increase, but without exceeding 90oC; in addition,
comparison method (compared to other normal engines) can also be used to inspect engine
water temperature, the engine is abnormal if its water temperature rises quickly. Engine
overheating is mainly caused by blockage of water passages in cylinder cover. Real engine
water temperature can only be measured when engine works normally.
5. Engine oil pressure
Engine oil pressure must be measured when engine is running normally. The pressure should be
more than 0.1MPa (0.3MPa for YC6M engine) at idle speed, as engine speed increases, engine
oil pressure goes up stably too. The pressure should be width 0.25~0.6MPa (0.3~0.6MPa for
YC6M engine) at high engine speed, if there is big difference between measured value and
required value, you must find out the cause and eliminate it.
6. Inflation pressure
When engine is running at medium/high speed, air compressor working pressure should reach
above 0.6MPa in 5min, but not exceed 0.8MPa. Air compressor exhaust temperature should be
lower than 200oC, if the air compressor cylinder cover is too, be sure to find out the cause and
eliminate it. The leakage should not exceed 6.9kPa/min, if pressure loss is too serious
(0.069km/cm2), be sure to find out the cause and eliminate it.
7. Charging current
Normal charging current is about 15A when engine is running at medium/high speed, the limit
value is controlled by regulator. For a battery with sufficient electricity, it is normal if charging
current drops to below 5A gradually 1 hour later.
147
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
For a new battery with adjustable regulator, it is better to adjust the limit value to about 8A, to
ensure battery service life.
8. Run the engine at idle speed, medium speed and high speed respectively to check the color of
exhaust gas.
9. Check whether there is abnormal noise produced by the engine
For engine that matched with construction machinery, farm machinery and generator module,
the connection in engine output end has special requirements, so the generation of abnormal
noise is complex, for instance, the noise may be produced by improper connection, vibration
and interference between parts, the users should pay special attention to this.

Faults
Quality of diesel engine mainly depends on three aspects: first, quality of product itself
(performance and reliability); second, whether the use and maintenance performed by the user met
related requirements in instruction manual; third, whether the service job performed by the
serviceman reached each term specification of the product. If any of the three aspects appeared
problems, the engine can be adversely affected. This chapter provides service technologies and
troubleshooting methods for user and serviceman to refer to.
151
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
Consult the user or serviceman for operation, maintenance and service situation of the engine:
1. Change of engine oil pressure and water temperature: when did the change happen? What
phenomenon happened? Was it happened before or after the service?
2. What happened to the oil (engine oil, diesel oil) and water?
3. What kind of maintenance, adjusting or part replacement is performed on what day, in where,
by whom?
4. When did the engine start to produce abnormal noise or smoke?
5. What wrong with engine power and speed?
Determine whether it is natural fault or human initiated fault through the work above.
Observe the engine on site:
1. Observe the engine for oil leakage, water leakage and air leakage and find out the cause
(insufficient tightening torque, damage of sealing gasket or part).
2. Listen carefully for noise pattern and position, to identify fault source.
3. Observe the engine smoke color, find out the cause and eliminate the problem.
4. Check engine speed change condition to determine whether the engine is in good condition,
which is helpful for fault judgment.
Generally speaking, one or more of the above four phenomena is/are always involved when it
comes to engine failure.
Fault analysis
Fault analysis contains three aspects:
1. Check and determine whether the engine fault is really exist, do not assume any failure by
suspicion. To do this, you must be familiar with the followings:
(1) Be familiar with fitting parameters and technical data of engine parts. They are basis to
judge whether the part or component is qualified.
(2) Be familiar with engine performance indexes, such as engine rated power, maximum
torque and speed, minimum fuel consumption under full load, exhaust temperature and
smoke intensity (including smoke color), etc. Test the engine on testbed to determine
whether the engine is qualified.
(3) Identify the abnormal noise produced by engine, you must be able to separate abnormal
noise from normal noise produced by engine. There must be fault exist if the engine
produces abnormal noise.
(4) Engine speed stability, whether engine speed is stable or not can directly reflect whether
the engine is in failure. The instability mainly happens at low speed stage and rarely

ATTENTION
If a newly assembled engine is hard to start, pay special attention to check whether valve
timing is correct.
Any of the causes above will result in engine hard to start. Therefore, the second situation may be
caused by one or more causes of the nine causes listed above; while for the first situation (cold start
is difficult, while hot start is not), it indicates that engine is easy to start after temperature goes up,
and of the nine causes, causes that affected by temperature are: oversized valve clearance, incorrect
valve timing, air intake shortage; excessive wear of cylinder sleeve, piston and piston ring, the
fitting clearance will reduce after temperature goes up, which is helpful for starting; bad
atomization of fuel injector nozzle (low fuel injection pressure).
2. Diagnosis of engine start failure, turn on the ignition key and engine may show:
(1) Exhaust pipe doesn’t discharge smoke, which indicates that there is no fuel feeding
Cause: ①There is air in fuel circuit
②Fuel cut-off valve is not in fuel feeding/supplying position
(2) Exhaust pipe discharges white smoke, which indicates there is fuel feeding, but isn’t
ignited
Cause: ①Cylinder sleeve is infiltrated with water (cylinder sleeve, engine block or engine
cylinder cover is cracked)
②Opening pressure of fuel injector is too low, too much supplied fuel
③Fuel feeding advance angle is too small
④Cylinder pressure is low (wear of cylinder block, piston and piston ring, valve
closure lax)
(3) Exhaust pipe discharges black smoke and produces explosive sound, which indicates there
is fuel feeding, but ignition condition is poor.
Cause: ①Bad atomization of injector (higher combustion temperature is needed)
②Ambient temperature is too low (lower than 5oC)
③Fuel feeding advance angle is too large
④Intake air shortage
⑤Starting fuel is insufficient or fuel supply circuit is blocked
155
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
It should be noted here that if engine is not reasonably matched, engine output power will be
directly affected. Therefore, before jump to any conclusion, it is better to test the engine on a
testbed. While if the engine is installed on vehicle, you can do some comparison to analysis the
failure, such as check whether no-load speed is enough, whether the rotating sound is strong and
powerful by ear and experience. If you are satisfied with the sound, check whether there is
mismatching between engine and its peripheral components: check whether water tank, fan and fan
cover are properly installed; check the matched clutch meet related design requirements, whether
there is interference between crankshaft output end and transmission box input shaft; check whether
the brake and bearings are smooth and flexible; check whether the A/C transmission mechanism
and A/C power are reasonable; check whether the exhaust pipes and intake pipes for transition
joints, the failure may be caused by too many transition joints or right-angle joints. If the failure still
exists after excluding all the external factors listed above, be sure to fully inspect the engine.
1. Causes that may result in engine underpower and phenomena
Inspection method:
Firstly, run the engine with and without load, preliminary determine whether there is engine
underpower problem by experience.
Secondly, decide whether the underpower is caused by engine self-trouble or by external
factors listed above. If it is caused by engine self-trouble, you need to make further inspection.
Thirdly, talk to the user to know whether it is sudden failure or gradual failure, to narrow down
the fault coverage.
(1) Causes for gradual engine underpower
①Bad cylinder compression, leakage of gas mixture, insufficient burning explosion
pressure ——wear of cylinder piston, cylinder sleeve, piston ring and valve sealing strip,
which result in poor sealing performance
②Fuel feeding shortage ——air leakage of fuel pipe joints, blockage of fuel supply pump
oil inlet filter screen or fuel filter element (fuel feeding shortage problem happens at
high engine speed), worn plunger results in fuel feeding pressure loss
③High engine oil pressure ——too much water scale in water circuit (especially water
tank) and result in poor heat dissipation performance.
④Fuel injection pump fail to inject enough fuel for high speed running ——preload force of
high speed spring is insufficient and need to be readjusted.
⑤Turbocharger high speed failure ——turbocharger bypass valve set pressure is low
(engine speed change is not obvious no matter the turbocharger is used or not used) and
the spring preload force need to be readjusted.
156
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
ATTENTION
Sometimes severe scuffing of cylinder bore or burning of bearing shell will also reduce
157
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
engine power.
2. Diagnosis of engine underpower failure
Engine power should be measured at normal water temperature and elevations below 2000m. it
is normal if there is a certain power reduce when water temperature is about 100oC in the
highland area with altitude over 2000m.
Diagnosis of engine underpower failure, accelerate the engine and it may show:
(1) Exhaust pipe discharges heavy smoke, which indicates that the consumption is poor
Cause: ①Bad cylinder compression ——wear of cylinder piston, cylinder sleeve, piston
ring (blue smoke), valve closure lax (black smoke)
②Bad atomization of injector ——opening pressure of injector nozzle is low,
blockage of fuel injector (black smoke)
③Fuel feeding advance angle is too big ——engine knock (black smoke)
④Fuel feeding advance angle is too small ——more obvious at low engine speed
(white smoke)
⑤Cylinder is filled with water ——cylinder sleeve, engine knock or cylinder
cover is cracked (white smoke)
⑥Air intake is insufficient ——engine produces black smoke, especially at high
speed.
(2) Fuel feeding is insufficient at high speed, but normal at low/medium speed
Cause: ①Blockage of fuel supply circuit
②Fuel injection pump is improperly adjusted, or fuel is cu-off too early at high
engine speed
Tips: The failure may also be caused by low set pressure of turbocharger bypass valve
(black smoke).
(3) Engine can be accelerate to high speed, but engine is powerless and overload capacity is
poor, which indicate that injection pump is improperly adjusted and fuel feeding is
insufficient at maximum torque point, readjust the pump.
ATTENTION
Burning of bearing shell is very dangerous, please be sure to shut down the engine for
inspection once abnormal noise produced by bearing is detected.
(3) Severe wear of piston pin and pin hole and scuffing of cylinder bore by piston or cylinder
sleeve will also produce strike sound, but the sound is hard to locate without
disassembling.
(4) Intermittent strike sound from gear housing due to wear of idle gear shaft and oversized
timing gear backlash, the sound is more obvious if engine speed is unstable.
(5) Noise form clutch, strike sound will be produced if release bearing is damaged, or if driven
plate steel disc or rivet is loose or damaged, the higher the engine speed, the louder the
strike sound. If the strike sound gets fainter or disappeared when the clutch is engaged,
then the strike sound must come from flywheel shell.
3. Human initiated abnormal noise (caused by improper installation or adjusting)
(1) Abnormal noise caused by oversized valve clearance generally comes from cylinder cover,
the noise is more obvious when engine speed is low and temperature is high. If valve
clearance is undersized there will be gas carry-over noise, more obvious when engine
temperature is high (especially when air filter or exhaust manifold is removed), check the
valve clearance to identify the problem.
(2) If the fuel injection pump is designed with advance units, each of the advance units will
produce sound when engine is working, and the sound may vary in size, note the sound is
not abnormal noise and wouldn’t affect the work.
Tips: If the fitting clearance between advance unit and hole on injection pump connecting
plate is oversized, the sound produced by advance unit will be louder, meanwhile, too large
coaxiality error between air compressor shaft and fuel injection pump shaft will also result
in loud noise, pay attention to this during inspection.
(3) Resonance noise, sometimes there will be resonance noise produced when engine is
running at a certain speed (sometimes the engine vibrates together with the whole vehicle),
which is caused by chassis structure or engine installation defect, causes for this failure are
complex and detailed examination is indispensable.
(4) Air shock sound produced by exhaust pipe, which is mainly caused by change of valve
timing. Causes: bend or breakage of pushrod, breakage of valve spring; crankshaft timing
gear or pulley is displaced due to no locating pin or key and result in abnormal valve
timing.
160
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
Method to check valve timing: Rotate the crankshaft until cylinder 1 reaches exhaust 30o
BTDC, turn the intake pushrod of cylinder 1 left and right by hand and it should be easy
and flexible, continue to rotate the crankshaft until it is a bit tight to turn pushrod. At this
point, the reading on the dial is cylinder 1 intake valve open angle, which should meet the
requirement in table 5-1. The valve timing is incorrect if the difference is greater than 7o.

Low engine oil pressure is divided into three types:
(1) Gradual pressure reduction——engine oil pressure was normal, and then reduces
gradually due to longtime use. Possible causes are as follows:
Oversized fitting clearance due to gradual wear of related parts, deterioration of
engine oil due to longtime use or long-term high-temperature operation.
Engine oil pump inner rotor, outer rotor and end cover are worn, engine oil pump
safety valve is inflexible or valve spring is softened.
Blockage of engine oil filter element, especially for engine with severe worn
cylinder sleeve and piston, the filter element should be cleaned and replaced
periodically.
Blockage of oil strainer screen. Engine oil pressure will show small or no rise when
accelerating the engine from idle speed to high speed if oil strainer screen or filter
element is blocked. Sometimes the engine oil pressure even reduces as engine speed
goes up.
Main bearing shell, connecting rod bearing shell, camshaft sleeve and idler shaft
copper bush are worn and result in severe oil leakage.
162
YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
(2) Sudden pressure reduction——engine oil pressure reduces in a sudden due to damage of
related parts. Possible causes are as follows:
Engine oil filter gasket is damaged and result in engine oil short circuit.
Engine oil cooler shell (some engine models are free of engine oil cooler) is cracked
or loose welded and result in engine oil leakage, in this case, there will be engine oil
in water tank.
Perforation or sand hole of main oil gallery (this phenomenon is rare).
Engine oil spray nozzle (plastic part) on main bearing seat is aged, corroded and
damaged or spray hook is loose and result in serious oil leakage.
Engine temperature is too high and result in decrease of engine oil viscosity.
Engine oil pump shaft is broken or the shaft sleeve is loose, engine oil pump failure.
(3) Human initiated pressure reduction——caused by improper adjusting or faulty operation.
Engine oil pressure gauge is faulty, the reading is not correct.
Main oil gallery pressure limiting valve or pressure regulating valve on engine oil
filter is under-adjusted or dirty and result in failure. Note that YC6112 and
YC6108ZLQB engine is free of this component, but if the safety valve on engine oil
pump is under-adjusted or faulty, engine oil pressure will also be affected.
The selected engine oil quality is poor and tends to deteriorate and thin quickly.
ATTENTION
Sometimes engine oil pressure may disappear in a sudden, the possible causes: engine oil
pump shaft or engine oil pump transmission gear shaft is broken, causing engine oil pump
unable to rotate; engine oil filter oil inlet pipe weld assembly is fractured or engine oil
pump connecting screws are loose, causing infiltration of air of oil circuit and oil
absorption failure. In the case of no detecting instrument, to identify whether there is
engine oil pressure, you can remove the cylinder cover shield and check if there is oil
surging up from rocker arm oil outlet hole when engine is running idly, there is no engine
oil pressure if not.
WARNING
When engine oil pressure is lower than 0.08MPa at idle speed or lower than 0.15MPa at
medium/high speed, be sure to stop the engine for inspection, do not count on luck.

YUCHAI Engine Service Manual
If fitting clearance is too small, oil film will be hard to form, which will result in direct
friction between bearing shell and journal, and easily leading to wear and scratch
damage (mostly near the separate surface of bearing shell). This kind of scratch
damage can easily result in burning of bearing shell in the first thousands of kilometers
if overloaded. If no burning of bearing shell occurred in the first 10,000km, then the
shell is safe for now.
If fitting clearance is too big but still within the limit, lubrication action still exists, but
the lubrication performance is poor. Meanwhile, bearing shell is more easily to subject
to bumping, which will result in deformation and burning of bearing shell. This kind of
burning is generally happened after 30,000km, and the bearing shell will be severely
worn (thinned), the connecting rod big end may not be burnt blue.
(3) Disqualification of part material.
Poor material quality. Such as low rigidity of journal, shrinkage of the structure and
delamination of bearing shell alloy, which can easily result in wear, scratch and
burning of bearing shell. With material like this, the bearing shell may burn at any time
regardless of lubrication, and generally there will be obvious scratch damage on the
burnt shell.
Poor surface finish. Such as rough journal surface and burr and flashing on bearing
shell, tiny scratch strips will appear on the bearing shell in the first thousands of
kilometers regardless of lubrication.
Unqualified engine oil. Engine oil viscosity is low, poor lubrication, which will
accelerate the wear and burn the bearing shell, in this case, damage condition of all
bearing shells are basically the same.
Unclean engine oil, even mixed with sundries. The bearing shell can be scratched at
any time.
High engine working temperature, and engine oil tends to deteriorate easily, which
will accelerate the wear and burn the bearing shell. Bearing shell will burn severely
and may turn blue under such circumstance.
Causes for burning of bearing shell are diverse and complex, so it is not an easy job to find out
the cause, you must talk to the user to get know of the fault.
ATTENTION: To detect the burning of bearing shell as soon as possible, you must remove the
drain plug of oil sump for inspection regularly.

Set value of turbocharger bypass valve high-speed pressure is high, which results in
high intake pressure and increase of engine speed.
Cylinder bed bumping or crack of cylinder sleeve, high temperature exhaust gas flows
into water passage and result in high water temperature, but real engine temperature
may not be high.
Scuffing of air compressor, in this case, air compressor temperature and water
temperature are high, but engine temperature is not.
(3) Inappropriate installation and use
Water tank, fan cover and fan are not reasonably matched (refer to charger 4 for
matching requirements).
Check whether heat dissipation of water tank is adversely affected by wrong
installation position of turbocharger and intercooler.
Exhaust valve is not reasonably opened (mostly at low speed stage), heat discharge
and exhaust gas discharge is obstructed.
Long time overload working.

Cylinder sleeve or engine block and cylinder cover are cracked, injector nozzle copper
bush is damaged, water flows into cylinder sleeve directly.
Low ambient temperature, part of the fuel is incompletely combusted.
Fuel supply advance angle is too small, some fuel is discharged instead of being
combusted.
ATTENTION
For engine with fuel preheating device installed on intake pipe, when preheating device
(including relay) is in failure, oil in the preheating device will flow into engine intake pipe,
which will result in blue/white smoke at idle speed, blue/black smoke at medium/high
speed. The smoke intensity decreases as engine speed rises.
When troubleshooting, you just need to disconnect the oil inlet pipe and power wire of
preheating device, the preheating device is faulty if the smoke intensity decreases.
2. Diagnosis of abnormal engine smoke fault
