1.8 Fluids and lubricants, fire prevention and environmentalprotection

Fire preventionRectify any fuel or oil leaks immediately; even splashes of oil or fuel on hot components can cause fires -therefore always keep the engine in a clean condition. Do not leave cloths soaked with fluids and lubri‐cants lying on or near the assembly or unit. Do not store inflammable material near the assembly or unit.Do not weld pipes and components carrying oil or fuel! Before welding, clean with a nonflammable fluid.When starting the engine with an external power source, connect the ground lead last and remove it first.To avoid sparks in the vicinity of the battery, connect the ground lead from the external power source tothe ground lead of the engine or to the ground terminal of the starter.Always keep suitable firefighting equipment (fire extinguishers) at hand and familiarize yourself with theiruse.

NoiseNoise can lead to an increased risk of accident if acoustic signals, warning shouts or noises indicatingdanger are drowned.Wear ear protectors in work areas with a sound pressure level in excess of 85 dB (A).

Environmental protection and disposalModification or removal of mechanical or electronic components or the installation of additional compo‐nents as well as the execution of calibration processes that might affect the emission characteristics ofthe engine are prohibited by emission regulations. Emission control units/systems may only be main‐tained, exchanged or repaired if the components used for this purpose are approved by MTU or equiva‐lent components. Noncompliance with these guidelines might represent a violation of the Clean Air Actand involves the termination of the operating license by the emission authorities. MTU does not acceptany liability for violations of the emission regulations. MTU will provide assistance and advice if emission-relevant components are intended to be modified. The MTU Maintenance Schedules ensure the reliabili‐ty and performance of MTU engines and must be complied with over the entire life cycle of the engine.Use only fuel of prescribed quality to comply with emission limit values.Dispose of used fluids, lubricants and filters in accordance with local regulations.Within the EU, batteries can be returned free of charge to MTU FN / MTU Onsite Energy where they aresubjected to proper recycling procedures.

Fluids and lubricantsUse only fluids and lubricants that have been tested and approved by MTU.Keep fluids and lubricants in suitable, properly designated containers. When using fluids, lubricants andother chemical substances, follow the safety instructions that apply to the product. Take special carewhen using hot, chilled or caustic materials. When using flammable materials, avoid all sparks and donot smoke.

Lead• When working with lead or lead-containing compounds, avoid direct contact to the skin and do not

inhale lead vapors.• Adopt suitable measures to avoid the formation of lead dust.• Switch on extraction system.• Wash hands after contact with lead or lead-containing substances.

Compressed airObserve special safety precautions when working with compressed air:• Pay special attention to the pressure level in the compressed air network and pressure vessel.• Assemblies and equipment to be connected must either be designed for this pressure, or, if the per‐

mitted pressure for the connecting elements is lower than the pressure required, a pressure reducingvalve and safety valve (set to permitted pressure) must form an intermediate connection.

• Hose couplings and connections must be securely attached.• Wear goggles when blowing off components or blowing away chips.• Provide the snout of the air nozzle with a protective disk (e.g. rubber disk).• First shut off compressed air lines before compressed air equipment is disconnected from the supply

line, or before equipment or tool is to be replaced.• Unauthorized use of compressed air, e.g. forcing flammable liquids (danger class AI, AII and B) out of

containers, results in a risk of explosion.• Forcing compressed air into thin-walled containers (e.g. containers made of tin, plastic and glass) for

drying purposes or to check for leaks, results in a risk of bursting.• Carry out leak test in accordance with the specifications.

Painting• When carrying out painting work outside the spray stands provided with fume extraction systems, en‐

sure that the area is well ventilated. Make sure that neighboring work areas are not impaired.• No open flames.• No smoking.• Observe fire prevention regulations.• Always wear a mask providing protection against paint and solvent vapors.

Liquid nitrogen• Store liquid nitrogen only in small quantities and always in regulation containers without fixed covers.• Avoid body contact (eyes, hands).• Wear protective clothing, protective gloves, closed shoes and protective goggles / safety mask.• Make sure that working area is well ventilated.• Avoid all knocks and jars to the containers, fixtures or workpieces.

Acids and alkaline solutions• When working with acids and alkalis, wear protective goggles or face mask, gloves and protective

clothing.• If such solutions are spilled onto clothing, remove the affected clothing immediately.• Rinse injured parts of the body thoroughly with clean water.• Rinse eyes immediately with eyedrops or clean tap water.

7.2 Cylinder Liner7.2.1 Cylinder liner – Endoscopic examination

Preconditions☑ Engine is stopped and starting disabled.

Special tools, Material, Spare partsDesignation / Use Part No. Qty.Rigid endoscope Y20097353 1

Preparatory steps1. Remove cylinder head cover (→ Page 76).2. Remove injector (→ Page 79).

Positioning crankshaft at BDC1. Using barring device, turn crankshaft until crankshaft journal of the cylinder to be inspected has reached

BDC.2. Insert endoscope into cylinder liner through injector seat.

Endoscopic examination of cylinder linerFindings Action• Thin carbon coating on circumference of carbon scraper ring• Slight localized additive deposits at top edge• Localized smooth areas at bottom edge• Carbon deposits on circumference in clearance between top piston

ring and bottom edge of carbon scraper ring• First signs of marks left by top piston ring• Bright mark on entire circumference• Consistent honing pattern without objections• First signs of marks left by lower cooling bores• Running pattern seems darker

No action required

• Dark areas with even or varying degrees of discoloration• Beginning and end of the discoloration are not sharply defined and

do not cover the entire stroke area• Dark areas in the upper section of the cooling bore, remaining cir‐

cumference without objections• Piston rings without objections

Further endoscopic examina‐tion required as part of main‐tenance work

• On the entire circumference, apart from light areas of discoloration(that do not impair operation) clearly darker stripes that start at thetop piston ring

• Heat discoloration in the direction of stroke and honing pattern dam‐age

• Heat discoloration of piston rings

Cylinder liner must be re‐placed; Service must be con‐tacted

1. Compile endoscopy report using the table.2. Use technical terms for description of the liner surface (→ Page 68).3. Depending on findings:

• Do not take any action or• carry out a further endoscopic examination as part of maintenance work or• contact Service; cylinder liner must be replaced.

7.2.2 Cylinder liner - Instructions and comments on endoscopic and visualexamination

Terms used for endoscopic examinationUse the terms listed below to describe the condition of the cylinder-liner surface in the endoscopic exami‐nation report.

Findings MeasureMinor dirt scores Minor dirt scores can occur during the assembly of a new engine (honing prod‐

ucts, particles, broken-off burrs). Removed cylinders clearly show such scoringon the running surface under endoscope magnification. Cannot be felt with thefingernail.Findings not critical.

Single scores Clearly visible scores caused by hard particles. They usually start in the TDCarea and cross through the hone pattern in the direction of stroke.Findings not critical.

Scored area These areas consist of scores of different length and depth next to one anoth‐er. In most cases, they are found at the 6-o'clock and 12-o'clock positions (in‐let/exhaust) along the transverse engine axis.Findings not critical.

Smoothened area Smoothened areas are on the running surface but almost the whole honingpattern is still visible. Smoothened areas appear brighter and more brilliantthan the surrounding running surface.Findings not critical.

Bright area Bright areas are on the running surface and show local removal of the honingpattern. Grooves from honing process are not visible any more.

Discoloration This is caused by oxidation (surface discoloration through oil or fuel) and tem‐perature differences around the liner. It appears rather darker within the honedstructure in contrast to the bright metallic running surface. The honing patternis undisturbed. Discolorations extend in stroke direction and may be interrupt‐ed.Findings not critical.

Corrosion fields / spots Corrosion fields / spots result from water (condensed water) with the valves inthe overlap (open) position. They are clearly visible due to the dark color of thehoning groove bottom.This corrosion is not critical unless there is corrosion pitting.

Black lines Black lines are a step towards heat discoloration. They are visible as a cleardiscoloration from TDC to BDC in the running surface and the start of localizeddamage to the honing pattern.Cylinder liners with a large number of black lines around the running surfacehave limited service life and should be replaced.

Findings MeasureBurn mark This is caused by a malfunction in the liner / ring tribosystem. Usually they run

over the whole ring-travel area (TDC/BDC), starting at the first TDC-ring andbecoming more visible from the second TDC-ring 2 onwards and less pro‐nounced from TDC-ring 1. The honing pattern is usually no longer visible anddisplays a clearly defined (straight) edge to the undisturbed surface. The dam‐aged surface is usually discolored. The circumferential length varies.Liners with burn marks, or heat discoloration, starting in TDC ring 1 have to bereplaced.

Seizure marks, scuff‐ing

Irregular circumference lengths and depths. Can be caused either by the pis‐ton skirt or the piston crown. Material deposits on the liner (smear), heavy dis‐coloration. Severe, visible scoring.Replace liner.

Evaluation of findings and further measuresThe findings in the start phase of oxidation discoloration and heat discoloration are similar. A thoroughinvestigation and compliance with the above evaluation criteria allow an unambiguous evaluation. Toavoid unnecessary disassembly work, it is recommended that another inspection be carried out after fur‐ther operation of the engine.
