SECTION 1 – ENGINE SYSTEMS

Engine Specifications and Features (cont.)STANDARD FEATURES

The International® MaxxForce® 7 is a V8 engine with adisplacement of 6.4 liters (389 cubic inches).

The electronic governor controls the engine’s rpm within a safeand stable operating range for ideal performance. Low idlegovernor prevents the engine rpm from dropping below a stablespeed to prevent stalling when various loads are demanded onthe engine. High idle governor prevents the engine rpm fromgoing above a safe speed that would cause internal damage tothe engine.

The cylinder heads have four valves per cylinder. Each fuelinjector is centrally located between the four valves and directsfuel over the piston bowl for improved performance and reducedemissions.

The camshaft is supported by four bushings pressed into thecrankcase. The camshaft is crankshaft driven and thrust iscontrolled by a plate mounted behind the fourth cam journal.

The overhead valve train includes hydraulic roller cam followers,push rods, rocker arms, and valve bridges to open the dualintake and exhaust valves.

The crankcase is comprised of two major matching components.The upper crankcase half houses the cylinders, main bearingsaddles, with oil and coolant passages either cast or machined.The lower crankcase consists of a structural plate with the main

bearing caps machined into it for improved load retention andalignment.

The crankshaft is supported by five main bearings with fore andaft thrust controlled at the upper half of the second main bearing.Two connecting rods are attached to each crankshaft rod journaland are offset to minimize vibration. Piston pins are free floating,allowing the pins free lateral movement within the connecting rodas well as the piston. Piston pins are held in place with retainingrings.

One piece aluminum-alloy pistons are fitted with one keystonering, one rectangular intermediate compression ring, and a twopiece oil control ring. The combustion bowl is located in thepiston crown to reduce emissions. All pistons are mated tofractured cap joint connecting rods.

The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor and Camshaft Position(CMP) sensor are used by the Electronic Control Module (ECM)to calculate rpm, fuel timing, fuel quantity, and duration of fuelinjection.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculating (EGR) system includes an EGRvalve and an intake throttle valve. The EGR valve is mounted inan EGRmixer elbow that is part of the EGR valve elbow housing.The intake throttle valve is mounted on the other side of the EGRvalve elbow housing in the air stream from the CAC.

A gerotor lube oil pump is mounted in the front cover and isdriven by the crankshaft. Pressurized oil is supplied to engine

STANDARD FEATURES (cont.)

components. All MaxxForce® 7 engines use an engine oil coolerand engine oil filter.

A closed crankcase breather system draws crankcase vaporsthrough a breather element. The breather element removes oilfrom the vapor and sends the vapor to the air intake and returnsthe oil to the crankcase.

The low-pressure fuel pump draws fuel from the fuel tank(s)through the primary fuel filter. The primary fuel filter assemblyincludes a Water in Fuel (WIF) sensor and an optional fuelheater. Water and solids are separated from the fuel and thewater is collected in the water separator bowl. The instrumentpanel WIF lamp is illuminated when water needs to be drained.A drain valve in the water separator bowl drains water out. Fuelis discharged to the secondary fuel filter. The secondary fuelfilter assembly is pressure regulated and incorporates an airbleed orifice allowing air to be automatically purged if it hasbeen introduced to the system.

The high-pressure fuel system includes a High-Pressure FuelPump (HPFP), high-pressure common rails, and fuel injectors.The ECM electronically controls the injectors allowing multipleinjections and more precise fuel delivery to improve combustion,emissions, and cold start performance.

A hand operated primer pump is mounted on the right valvecover. The manual priming pump draws fuel from the fuel tank(s)through the primary filter after filter replacement or when system

has run out of fuel. This primes the fuel system to minimize theamount of air injected into the system on initial startup.

The Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) has actuated vanesin the turbine housing. These vanes modify exhaust gas flowthrough the VGT. The ECM commands the VGT to control boostpressure for various engine speeds and load conditions.

The Exhaust Gas Recirculating (EGR) system circulates cooledexhaust into the intake air stream in the intake manifold. Thiscools the combustion process and reduces the formation of NOXengine emissions.

Diamond Logic® engine control is a single electronic control unitthat monitors and controls the engine and chassis components.

The glow plug relay controls the eight glow plugs, one for eachcylinder. The glow plugs warm the cylinders during start-up.

OPTIONAL FEATURES

An air compressor is available for applications that require airbrakes or air suspension.

A coolant heater is available to raise the temperature of thecoolant surrounding the cylinders for improved performanceduring cold weather startups.

A fuel heater is available to warm the supply fuel in the primaryfuel filter. Warmed supply fuel prevents waxing, and improvesperformance and fuel economy during cold weather start-up.

CHASSIS MOUNTED FEATURES

A Charge Air Cooler (CAC) is an air-to-air heat exchanger whichincreases the density of the air charge.

The Aftertreatment System part of the larger exhaust system,processes engine exhaust so that it meets tailpipe emissionrequirements.

• The Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) oxidizes hydrocarbonsand carbon monoxide, provides heat for exhaust systemwarmup, aids in temperature management for the DPF, andoxidizes NO into NO2 for passive DPF regeneration.

• The Diesel particulate Filter (DPF) temporarily storescarbon-based particulates, oxidizes stored particulates,stores non-combustible ash, and provides required exhaustback pressure drop for engine performance.

Fuel

ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL (ULSD)

Figure 7 American Petroleum Institute (API) Diesel PumpLabel

The API Diesel Pump Label is compliant with EPA CFR 80.570.

GOVERNMENTREGULATION: Diesel fuel sold foruse in 2007 and later highway vehicles must be limitedto a sulfur content of 15 parts per million (ppm).

Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel is required forInternational® MaxxForce® 7 Diesel Engines used withadvanced aftertreatment systems. The fuel should meet all thespecifications of ASTM D975 standard (current year revision),including the EPA specification for sulfur content (0.0015 %mass or 15 ppm maximum). These specifications are includedin the standard under the designation No. 2-D S15 fuel and No.1-D S15 fuel. Grade No. 1-D fuel is a lighter fuel with highervolatility than grade No. 2-D; it may be blended with gradeNo. 2-D in wintertime to provide engine operability under lowambient temperature.

UNACCEPTABLE FUEL AND BLENDS

• Off road diesel fuel

• Low Sulfur Diesel (LSD) fuel 0.05% (500 ppm)

• Commercial Jet A or JP8 aviation fuel

• Heating or furnace oil

• Biodiesel B100 (neat biodiesel)

• Biodiesel blends higher than 20%

SECTION 2 – REQUIREMENTS FOR FUEL, ENGINE OIL, AND COOLANT

Fuel (cont.)

UNACCEPTABLE FUEL AND BLENDS (cont.)

Biodiesel fuels are methyl or ethyl esters derived from a broadvariety of renewable sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats,and waste cooking oils. These oxygenated organic compoundshave key properties that are comparable to those in diesel fuel.

ACCEPTABLE FUEL BLENDS

• Ultra low sulfur kerosene (No. 1-D S15 diesel fuel) blendedwith No. 2-D S15 fuel to improve cold weather performance.Blend rate would depend upon regional low temperatures.

• Lower biodiesel blends up to B5 (a blend of 5% neatbiodiesel with 95% diesel fuel).

Such blends have characteristics indistinguishable fromdiesel fuel, if the two components meet the requirements oftheir respective standards: ASTM D6751 current revision,for neat biodiesel and ASTM D975 current revision, for ultralow sulfur diesel fuel.

As of October 1, 2008 blends of up to 5% biodiesel areincluded in the diesel fuel standard ASTM D975-08a.(D975-08a designates the 2008 revision of the standard.)

Navistar, Inc. approves of blends up to B5, provided that thetwo components satisfy current specifications. Quality biodieselblends up to B5 should not cause engine or fuel systemproblems.

USE OF HIGHER BIODIESEL FUEL BLENDS (B6 TO B20)

A new standard ASTM D7467-08 covers the specifications forblends between 6% and 20% (B6 to B20). These blends may beused in vehicles that operate in populated areas or in fleets whichare required to use alternative fuels to reduce urban pollution.

Use of B6 to B20 blends is at the discretion of thecustomer/operator and will not automatically void an enginewarranty. However, if engine component failure can be directlyattributable to use of a B6 to B20 blend not provided bya BQ9000 certified fuel supplier or not meeting the ASTMD7467-08 Standard, Navistar may, at its option, deny warrantyon the affected engine or engine component.

Navistar recommends that users of B20 select a BQ9000certified fuel supplier and request proof from the supplierthat the fuel meets the ASTM D7467-08 Standard. Fuels notmeeting the specification may cause fuel system deposits,plugged filters, contaminated engine oil, and fuel degradation.

If providers and customers follow correct storage andmaintenance procedures for fuel and equipment, blendsof B6 to B20 that meet the ASTM D7467-08 Standardshould perform satisfactorily in diesel engines. Contact yourInternational® dealer for further information on ASTM standardsand recommendations for correct storage and maintenanceprocedures.

Engine Oil

ENGINE OIL QUALITY AND SERVICE CATEGORIES

The American Petroleum Institute (API) defines engine oil qualityby service categories that define oil performance measured instandardized engine tests.

API CJ-4 FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE DIESEL ENGINES

Figure 8 API Identification Symbol

API CJ-4 oils are recommended for high speed diesel engineswith advanced, exhaust aftertreatment systems that meet 2007on-highway exhaust emission standards.

API CJ-4 oils provide protection against the following:

• Catalyst poisoning and particulate blockage

• Engine wear

• Piston deposits

• Soot related viscosity increase, deposits, and wear

• Viscosity loss due to shear

• Oxidative thickening

• Oil foaming and aeration

API CJ-4 oil, in combination with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel(ULSD) fuel [0.0015% (15 ppm) maximum sulfur content],is recommended to maintain performance and durabilityof aftertreatment systems meeting 2007 diesel emissionregulations.

API CI-4 oils are allowed in diesel engines that meet theseregulations. Use of the CI-4 engine oil shortens DieselParticulate Filter (DPF) cleaning service intervals.

CAP safeguards the engine from damage caused by prolongedidle at no load during cold weather. CAP also improves cabwarm-up.

CAPmaintains engine coolant temperature by increasing enginerpm to a programmed value when ambient air temperature isbelow 20 °C (68 °F), coolant temperature is below 70 °C (158°F), and engine has been idling at no load for over five minutes.

CAP is standard on all trucks without an idle shutdown timer, witha clutch switch (manual transmissions) or a neutral safety switch(automatic transmission).

The engine speed will continue to increase or decrease tomaintain a coolant temperature of 80 °C (176 °F) until thefollowing occurs:

• Engine load is greater than 45%.

• Brake pedal is applied or brake switch fault is detected.

• Clutch pedal is depressed or clutch pedal switch fault isdetected (manual transmissions, if equipped with a clutchswitch).

• Shift selector is moved from neutral (automatictransmissions). Shift selector must be in neutral for CAPto work.

• Power Takeoff (PTO) switch, also used for electronic handthrottle, is turned on and actively controls engine speed.

• Accelerator pedal is depressed or accelerator pedal sensorfault is detected.
