Cylinder Numbering
• The cylinders on the VT 275 are numbered
from the front of the right bank 1, 3, 5 and
from the front of the left bank 2, 4 and 6.
• The VT 275 has an aluminum rocker arm
carrier for each cylinder head. The carrier
holds the fulcrum plates and the attached
rocker arms and can be removed as an
assembly from the cylinder head without
removing the rocker arms.
• Each rocker arm pivots on a steel ball
located by detents in the fulcrum plate.
Four head bolts on each cylinder head
pass through the two single and two dual
fulcrum plates serving to clamp the plates
to the carrier.
• The cylinder head is sealed to the
crankcase deck surface with a shim type
gasket that must be replaced if any of the
head bolts are removed. The 14mm head
bolts are torque to yield and cannot
be reused.
• The carrier is sealed to the cylinder head
with a push-in-place gasket. The cylinder
head and carrier are clamped to the
crankcase with eight 14mm bolts. Six
additional 8mm bolts around the perimeter
clamp the carrier to the cylinder head and
four additional 8mm bolts serve to clamp
the top of the head to the crankcase. Two
hollow dowels in the cylinder head are
used to align the rocker arm carrier to the
cylinder head.

Rocker Arm Carrier
• The rocker arm carrier serves as an
attachment point for the fulcrum plates and
the rocker arms. In addition to the head
bolts, single fulcrum plates are attached to
the rocker arm carrier with one 8mm bolt.
The dual fulcrum plates are attached with
two 8mm bolts. The fulcrum plates are
marked with E and I as assembly aids to
show the valves they support. The E and I
must be visible after assembly to the head.
In addition, the carrier provides a passage
for each snap-in-place injector passthrough and the push-in-place glow
plug connectors.
VT 275 DESIGN FEATURES
Crankcase Assembly
• The VT 275 has four main bearings but
replaces the traditional individual main
bearing caps with a one-piece lower
crankcase assembly. The lower crankcase
is made of cast iron and is stronger than
the individual caps. The lower crankcase is
attached to the crankcase with sixteen
14mm main bearing bolts of two lengths
with the shorter bolts to the outside. Three
additional 8mm bolts are used on each
side at the perimeter. The lower crankcase
is sealed to the crankcase with two pushin-place seals.
Crankcase and Oil Pan
• The upper oil pan bolts to the lower
crankcase and is sealed with a full
perimeter push-in-place gasket. The lower
sheet metal oil pan is sealed to the upper
cast aluminum oil pan with a full perimeter
push-in-place gasket. The upper oil pan is
wider than the crankcase and allows for
greater oil pan capacity without
increased depth.

cast in the upper oil pan to the lower
crankcase. The lower crankcase has a
machined passage that takes oil to a front
cover passage that leads to the oil pump.
Openings in the upper oil pan allow oil to
return to the pan during engine operation
but also serve to keep oil in the pan away
from the rotating crankshaft.

Rear Gear Train
• The VT 275 gear train is located at the rear
of the engine. The crankshaft gear is a
press fit on the crankshaft and drives the
camshaft gear directly. The crankshaft
flange with integral gear is pressed on the
end of the crankshaft then clamped with
six 12mm bolts. The camshaft gear must
be timed to the crankshaft gear during
assembly to maintain the correct relationship.
• The rear flange gear drives the primary
balance shaft gear at a one-to-one ratio.
The balance shaft runs through the hollow
camshaft to the front of the crankcase and
has the balance shaft counterweight
bolted to the front of the shaft. The flange
gear and balance shaft gear must be timed
to maintain the correct relationship
between the balance shaft counterweight
and the crankshaft.
• The high-pressure oil pump is located in
the Vee of the engine and is driven directly
off the camshaft gear. The oil pump gear
does not require timing.

Gear Timing
• The camshaft and balance shaft must be
timed to the crankshaft for proper engine
operation. During reassembly a timing pin
that aligns the camshaft gear and the
balance shaft gear is placed through the
gears and into a hole machined in the
crankcase, then the crankshaft is installed
while aligning the balance shaft and flange
gear dots. If only the balance shaft is out of
the engine, the shaft can be installed while
aligning the balance shaft gear and flange
gear dots.

Offset Crankpins
• The 4-stroke engine requires 720° of
crankshaft rotation to complete all four
strokes of the cycle. In a multi-cylinder
engine dividing the 720 degrees by the
number of cylinders will equal the ideal
crankshaft rotation between combustion
events in the firing order. The VT 275
achieves equal spacing of the combustion
events by splitting the crankpins and
staggering the individual journals 30º.
Balance Shaft Timing
• The crankshaft counterweight, flywheel,
and damper are used to offset the rotating
and reciprocating forces developed in the
90° V6 engine, but these components
alone will not offset the couple imbalance.
Couple imbalance is created when two or
more forces act on the crankshaft at
different points along its length. Couple
imbalance, if not offset, results in pitch and
yaw forces on the engine that are felt by
the vehicle occupants as a vibration.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
ECM
• The ECM uses sensor inputs to control the
Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR), the
EGR valve, the boost control solenoid, the
glow plug relay and the inlet air heater
relay. The ECM also shares sensor data
with the IDM over communication links
between the two modules.
• The IDM is mounted on brackets cast into
the ECM. The ECM and IDM are then
mounted with vibration isolator grommets
to the control module assembly bracket.
The bracket is bolted to the truck's frame
directly behind the passenger side of the
cab and serves as the mounting point for
the inlet air heater relay, the glow plug relay,
and the Power Distribution Center (PDC).

IDM
• The Injector Drive Module (IDM) receives
sensor information from the ECM over
three communication links: the CAN 2 link,
the CMPO circuit, and the CKPO circuit.
The IDM uses this information to calculate
injection timing and duration. The IDM
controls injector operation through 48-volt
signals to the twin injector coils.
• The ECM has four connectors. The
connectors are called X1 through X4 with
ECM X1 being the top ECM connector as
mounted on the truck. The IDM has three
connectors with IDM X1 being the top
connector as mounted on the truck. The
ECM X1 and X2 connectors are for engine
sensor inputs and X3 and X4 are for
chassis inputs. The IDM X1 and X2
connectors are for injector operation and
X3 is for chassis inputs and
communication between the ECM and IDM.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
EGR Drive Module
• The EGR Drive Module is mounted below
the de-aeration tank. The module receives
the desired EGR valve position from the
ECM over the engine CAN 2 link. The
module then sends a series of voltage and
ground signals to the Motor U, V, and W
terminals of the EGR valve. The voltage
signals are Pulse Width Modulated (PWM)
to control current flow to the motor field coils.
• The module receives battery voltage and
ground through the 12-way engine-tochassis connector. The module supplies a
reference voltage to three position sensors
within the EGR valve. The drive module
uses the sensor signals to determine the
percent of valve opening.

Inlet Air Heater Element
• The Inlet Air Heater element is located in
the lower side of the intake manifold and
projects through the manifold and into the
inlet air stream.
• The element warms the incoming air to aid
cold start and reduce emissions during
warm-up. The ECM turns the inlet air
heater on for a predetermined amount of
time, based on engine oil temperature,
intake air temperature, and barometric air
pressure. The inlet air heater can remain on
while the engine is running to reduce white
smoke during engine warm-up.
24
International®VT 275 V6 Engine
Inlet Air Heater Relay
• The Inlet Air Heater (IAH) element is used
to improve cold start operation, reduce
emissions and white smoke, and improve
engine warm-up. The relay is mounted next
to the Power Distribution Center and is the
taller of the two relays. The IAH relay
receives battery power from the starter
power-feed terminal and the normally open
terminal connects to the element through
the harness. One end of the relay coil is
grounded through the engine 12-way
connector. The relay closes when the coil
receives voltage from the ECM.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
Glow Plug Relay
• Glow plugs are used to improve cold
engine starting. Glow plug operation is
controlled by the ECM through the glow
plug relay. The glow plug relay is mounted
next to the Power Distribution Center and
is the shorter of the two relays. The relay
common terminal is connected by jumper
to the common terminal of the Inlet Air
Heater relay. The normally open terminal
connects to the glow plug harness. One
end of the relay coil is grounded through
the engine 12-way connector. The relay is
closed when the other end of the coil
receives voltage from the ECM.
Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) Valve
• The IPR mounts to the high-pressure pump
and controls the amount of oil allowed to
drain from the high-pressure system.
When the ECM increases the IPR signal
duty cycle, the valve blocks the oil’s path to
drain and pressure rises. When the ECM
reduces the duty cycle, a larger volume of
oil is allowed to drain from the system and
pressure is reduced. The valve contains a
pressure relief valve for the system that
opens if system pressure reaches 4500
psi. The IPR is protected by a heat shield
that must be reinstalled after servicing.

Boost Control Solenoid
• The turbocharger boost control solenoid
valve is controlled by the ECM. When
the ECM signal to the Boost Control
solenoid is high, the valve opens,
allowing pressure in the pneumatic
actuator to vent into the turbo inlet duct.
When the ECM signal is low, the valve
closes, and pressure to the actuator
equals boost pressure in the intake manifold.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve
• The EGR valve is used to control the
percent of exhaust gas in the intake
charge. The EGR valve consists of circuit
board mounted position sensors, field
coils surrounding an armature, and the
valve group. The valve group has two
poppet valves mounted to a common
stem. When the drive module provides
voltage and ground to the field coils in the
proper sequence, stepped armature
rotation occurs. A threaded rod engaged
in the center of the rotating armature
pushes or pulls against the spring
loaded valve stem to force the valve to
open or close.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
• The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is
mounted with ductwork between the
turbocharger inlet and the air filter element.
The sensor applies voltage to a low
resistance thermistor exposed to the fresh
air portion of the intake charge. The MAF
sensor circuitry measures the increase in
voltage required to offset the cooling
effect of the air flow over the thermistor.
This voltage is then converted into a
variable frequency that is sent to the ECM.
The MAF value can be read with

ECM Relay Circuit Operation
• The ECM controls its own power up
and power down process. When
the key is OFF, the ECM stays
powered up for a brief period. The
ECM then powers down after
internal housekeeping functions
have been completed.
Key Power
• The Run/Accessory position of the
key switc
h receives battery voltage
from the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) fuse F-12. When the key is
ON, the switch supplies battery
voltage through fuse F46 to ECM
pin X3-3. Battery voltage is
available at all times through fuses
F4 and F41 to ECM relay pins 1
and 3. The two fuses are in series,
with F4 feeding both the IDM and
ECM relays, and F41 dedicated to
protecting the ECM circuit alone.
Pin 1 supplies voltage to the
relay coil.
• Pin 2 connects the coil to pin X3-5
of the ECM.
• When the key is ON, voltage
supplied to pin X3-3 signals the
ECM that the operator is going to
start the engine. The ECM then
supplies a ground circuit to pin X3-5.
When this occurs, current flows
through the ECM relay coil and
creates a magnetic field causing
the relay to latch. When latched, the
relay connects pin 3 to pin 5 and
supplies current to the ECM
through pin X4-1 and X4-2.
International®VT 275 V6 Engine

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
IDM Relay Circuit Operation
• The IDM controls its own power up
and power down process. When
the key is OFF, the IDM stays
powered up for a brief period. The
IDM then powers down after
internal housekeeping functions
have been completed.
IDM Power Up
• The key switch receives battery
age from the Power Distribution
volt
Center (PDC) F-12 fuse. When the
key is ON, the switch supplies
battery voltage through F-46 fuse
and pin 9 of the engine 12-way
connector to pin X3-7 of the IDM.
• Battery voltage is available through
the PDC F-4 fuse to IDM relay pin
30 and 85 at all times. Pin 85
supplies voltage to the relay coil.
Pin 86 takes that voltage through
pin 8 of the engine 12-way
connector to pin X3-27 of the IDM.
When the key is ON, voltage
supplied to pin X3-7 signals the
IDM to provide a ground circuit to
pin X3-27. When this occurs,
current flowing through the IDM
relay coil builds a magnetic field
that causes the relay to latch. When
latched, the relay connects pin 30
to pin 87 and supplies current
through pin 12 of the engine in-line
12-way connector to pin X3-4, X323, X3-24, and X3-25 of the IDM.
Four pins receive voltage to spread
the current draw over multiple pins.
IDM Logic
• The IDM also requires volt
age for
the internal logic circuit. When the
IDM relay latches, pin 87 of the relay
supplies voltage to the IDM logic
circuit through the F-40 fuse in the
PDC. The F-40 fuse feeds through
pin 6 of the engine in-line 12-way
connector to the IDM pin X3-8.

Temperature Sensor Operation
• There are four, two-wire temperature sensors on the VT 275
engine. Each sensor contains a
resistor whose value varies depending on temperature. The ECM
supplies a separate reference
voltage to each temperature sensor.
Then, the sensor conditions its
voltage to produce the sensor signal.

• A temperature variable resistor is a
thermistor
connected to a current-limiting
resistor of fixed value within the
. Each thermistor is
ECM. The thermistor and the
resistor make a series circuit with a
reference voltage applied at one
end and a ground at the other. The
voltage in the circuit between the
two resistors changes as the
thermistor's resistance changes.
When the temperature is low, the
sensor's resistance is high and the
signal voltage is high. When the
temperature is high, the resistance
is low and the signal voltage is low.
Engine Coolant Temperature
(E
CT) Sensor
• The ECT sensor is mounted in the
front cover. The body of the sensor
is exposed to coolant as it returns
from the cylinder heads. The ECT
signal is input into the optional
engine warning protection system,
coolant compensation, glow plug
operation and the instrument
cluster temperature gauge.
Engine Oil Temperature
OT) Sensor
(E
• The EO
oil filter adapter. The EOT signal
allows the ECM to compensate for
viscosity changes in the oil due to
temperature. The EOT signal is
input into calculations that
determine the fuel quantity and timing.
T sensor is mounted in the
International®VT 275 V6 Engine
Manifold Air Temperature
(MAT) Sensor
• The MAT sensor is mounted
towards the front of the left bank leg
of the intake manifold. T
sensor measures the temperature
of the air in the intake manifold. The
ECM uses this information in
calculations that control the EGR
valve operation.
Intake Air Temperature
T) Sensor
(IA
• The IAT sensor is contained within
the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
housing. The MAF sensor is
mounted to the inlet duct leading to
the turbocharger. The ECM uses
the IAT information to control
injection timing and fuel rate when
starting cold.

Pressure Sensor Operation
• The Manifold Absolute Pressure
(MAP) sensor, the Injection Control
Pressure (ICP) sensor and the
Engine Oil Pressure Switch
(EOPS) are used to send pressure
information to the ECM.
• The MAP and ICP are three-wire
pressure sensors. Three-wire
pressure sensors receive a
reference voltage and a ground
from the ECM. The sensor returns a
portion of the reference voltage,
proportional to the pressure, back
to the ECM as a signal.
Injection Control Pressure
(ICP) Sensor
• The ICP sensor is a Micro Strain
Gauge (M
MSG type sensor has a small strain
gauge that senses changes in
pressure. Sensor mounted
electronic circuitry converts the
30
SG) style sensor. The
• T
change into a signal voltage
proportional to the pressure being
measured. The ICP sensor is used
to make corrections to the IPR
signal and to continually check the
performance of the Injection
Control Pressure system.
Manifold Absolute Pressure
(MAP) sensor
he MAP sensor is a variable
capacitance style sensor. In a
variable capacitance sensor, the
pressure being measured deflects a
ceramic disk towards a metal disk.
The two materials make up a
variable capacitor. Sensor mounted
circuitry converts the capacitance
into a signal voltage proportional to
the measured pressure. The MAP
sensor measures turbocharger
boost in the intake manifold. The
MAP signal is input into calculations
that determine fueling quantities
and the desired EGR valve position.
International®VT 275 V6 Engine
Engine Oil Pressure Switch
(EOPS)
• The EOPS is used to detect oil
pressure and is an input to the dash
cluster and the engine warning
protection system. T
he switch is
normally open with the engine off
but closes when oil pressure
reaches 5 to 7 psi. The ECM sends
5 volts through a current limiting
resistor to the EOPS and reads the
voltage between the resistor and
the switch. When oil pressure is
low, the switch is open and the
ECM reads 5 volts.
When the oil pressure is greater
than 5 to 7 psi, the switch is closed,
the circuit is shorted to ground, and
the ECM reads a low voltage.
When the ECM detects oil pressure, MasterDiagnostics
®
will display
40 psi. When the oil pressure is
below 5 psi, MasterDiagnostics
will display 0 psi.
