2.1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF CAMSHAFT AND ROCKER SHAFT/ENGINE BRAKE ASSEMBLY AND RELATED PARTS

The engine uses a dual overhead camshaft and rocker shaft design. The intake and ex

haust camshafts are timed to each other, through a geartrain, to the crankshaft. The camshaft housing houses the camshafts and valve train. It has internal oil passages to supply oil from the block to the camshaft and rocker bearings along with pressurized oil to the engi

ne brake rockers via the engine

brake solenoids through the exhaust shaft. T he camshaft housing is made of aluminium material.

2.1 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF CAMSHAFT AND ROCKER SHAFT/ENGINE BRAKE ASSEMBLY AND RELATED PARTS

2.1.1 Engine Braking

The engine uses an integral engine brake. Engine braking is controlled electronica

llybythe engine control system with an electric solenoid. When activated, the solenoid allows oil pressure to activate a piston on the exhaust rocker arm. Engine braking is accomplished with a single exhaust valve in each cylinder. The exhaust camshaft uses a separate

engine brake-only lobe that allows for double valve activation for high efciency braking. The exhaust valve is rst operated toward the completion of the intake stroke, closed during the compression stroke and opened a second time when the compression stroke is completed. The engine

brake system is enabled using

the following components:

For EPA07 engines:

2.2 REMOVAL OF CAMSHAFT AND ROCKER SHAFT/ENGINE BRAKE ASSEMBLY

Remove as follows:

1. Turn engine OFF, (key OFF, engine OFF).

2. Steam clean the engine.

3. Disconnect the battery power to the engine. Refer to OEM procedure

s.

4. Remove the air cleaner and the turbocharger inlet pipe and hose. Refer to OEM procedures.

5. Remove air cleaner housing. Refer to OEM procedures.

6. Remove the rocker cover. Refer to section 1.2.

7. Remove the two 14-pin fuel injector harness connectors (1) from the camshaft housing housing (2).

NOTE:

Top Dead Center (TDC) can be conrmed by installing camshaft timing tool. For the DD13 use Camshaft Timing Tool (W470589034000). For the EPA07 DD15 use Camshaft Timing Tool

(W470589054000). For the EPA10 DD15 use Camshaft Timing

Tool (W470589104000).

8. Using Engine Barring tool (J-46392), rotate the crankshaft to TDC on cylinder No. 1.

9. Remove the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) (1) from t he rear of the ywheel housing. Refertosection.

10. To accurately locate TDC, install the ywheel housing crankshaft TDC Locating Pin (W470589001500) into the CKP sensor hole located in the rear of the ywheel housing. The plastic tip will protrude int

o the cutout in the tone wheel. TDC can be veried by the

proper installation of the camshaft timing tool.
