INTRODUCTION
Service Procedures and Tool Usage
Anyone using a service procedure or tool not recommended in this manual must first satisfy himself
thoroughly that neither his safety nor vehicle safety will be jeopardized by the service method he selects.
Individuals deviating in any manner from the instructions provided assume all risks of consequential
personal injury or damage to equipment involved.
Also note that particular service procedures may require the use of a special tool(s) designed for a
specific purpose. These special tools must be used in the manner described, whenever specified in the
instructions.
1. Before starting a vehicle, always be seated in the driver's seat, place the
transmission in neutral, apply the parking brakes, and push in the clutch
pedal. Failure to follow these instructions could produce unexpected
vehicle movement, which can result in serious personal injury or death.
2. Before working on a vehicle, place the transmission in neutral, set the
parking brakes, and block the wheels. Failure to follow these instructions
could produce unexpected vehicle movement, which can result in serious
personal injury or death.
Engine-driven components such as Power Take-Off (PTO) units, fans and fan
belts, driveshafts and other related rotating assemblies, can be very
dangerous. Do not work on or service engine-driven components unless the
engine is shut down. Always keep body parts and loose clothing out of range
of these powerful components to prevent serious personal injury. Be aware of
PTO engagement or nonengagement status. Always disengage the PTO when
not in use.
Do not work under a vehicle that is supported only by a hydraulic jack. The
hydraulic jack could fail suddenly and unexpectedly, resulting in severe
personal injury or death. Always use jackstands of adequate capacity to
support the weight of the vehicle.
Before towing the vehicle, place the transmission in neutral and lift the rear wheels
off the ground, or disconnect the driveline to avoid damage to the transmission
during towing.
REMEMBER,
SAFETY . . . IS NO ACCIDENT!

INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THE MACK MP8 ENGINE
[200 EA]
1
Figure 1 — MACK MP8 Engine — for Conventional Chassis
The MACK MP8 is a 13 liter (800 CID) engine
with electronic unit injectors, a cooled Exhaust
Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) system and the Holset
Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT). The
PowerLeash™ engine brake is optional. The
engine conforms to year 2007 Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) requirements.
The MP8 EGR system features reduced
restriction plus enhanced efficiency and reliability.
Its venturi system is easy to service.
A DPF system requires elevated exhaust
temperatures. The system uses a diesel oxidation
catalyst, a diesel particulate filter and in-line
reheating of the exhaust gases. The DPF system
removes Particulate Matter (PM) from the
exhaust to conform to the 2007 EPA regulations.
The Holset VGT features fixed vanes with a
sliding nozzle ring. The nozzle position is infinitely
variable between open and closed. This design
reacts quickly to exhaust pressure and controls
inlet pressure more precisely. Reliability is
enhanced by having fewer moving parts. Its
actuator and bearing housing are water cooled
and engine oil lubricated for greater durability.
A wide range of the current transmission
offerings, including manual, automated manual
and automatic, can be teamed with the MP8.
Diagnostic help can be found in the Tech Tool. To
obtain the Tech Tool, contact your local MACK
dealer.
The engine weighs approximately 1160 kg
(2560 lb.) dry (with air compressor, without oil,
coolant, starter, fan, alternator and clutch). Its
design includes a one-piece cylinder head, a
single overhead camshaft, three rocker arms per
cylinder, unit injectors and no pushrods.
PowerLeash™ engine braking, requiring a fourth
rocker arm, is optional. Monosteel™ steel pistons
are made in one piece.

strictly prohibited. This applies to engines
with or without the electric pre-heater option.
An explosion could occur. Failure to heed this
danger may result in severe personal injury or
death.

US07 emission compliant engines is
Fuel passes through two filters, one of which
separates water from the fuel. High-pressure fuel
in the unit injectors is created via the rocker arms
with roller followers in constant, direct contact
with the cams.
Replacing injectors requires a specific procedure,
and installation requires that the EECU be
programmed to recognize replacement injectors.
Cleaning injector bores requires a special tool.
Two optional fan drives are available: On/Off and
electronically actuated. The electronically
actuated viscous fan drive is precisely controlled
by the Engine Electronic Control Unit (EECU).
Timing gears mount on the rear of the MP8
improving the flow of cooling air around the front.
Special service instructions apply to the camshaft
position sensor. The mounting plate, idler and
camshaft gears are marked to facilitate proper
installation. The air compressor drive gear
meshes with the double idler instead of the
auxiliary idler as on the MP7 engine.
Another feature of the MP8 is the rear engine
power take-off (REPTO-ready) that is gear driven
through the timing gear train. An optional PTO
with drive gear, bearing and housing can be
added at the factory.
The rocker arm shaft is held in place by camshaft
bearing capscrews. There are special instructions
for installing the camshaft bearing caps and the
rocker arm shaft during service.
An engine compression brake option on the MP8
engine assists deceleration and braking. The
operation of the brake differs from earlier engine
models. Working in conjunction with the exhaust
cycle, the brake requires a camshaft with four
cams per cylinder, two rocker arms for the
exhaust valve, a bridge over the two exhaust
valves, an electronic control valve and a wiring
harness that includes the control valve. The
exhaust valves are adjusted with shims.
Unique colors and the appearance of the valve
cover, filters and logo labels distinguish the MP8
from other engines in the MACK line.
Preventive maintenance is important to get the
most from the MACK MP8 engine and to ensure
many years of reliable, trouble-free operation.
Refer to the current TS494 Maintenance and
Lubrication manual for schedules and
specifications.
Repair instructions in this manual deal with
removal, installation, disassembly, assembly,
setup and adjustments of MP8 components.
A stiffener plate fastens to the bottom of the
cylinder block to ensure block strength and
rigidity. The engine can be used with axle forward
or axle back vehicles by virtue of optional oil
pans. The engine fan is mounted high or low
depending on vehicle configuration.
The MP8 uses unit injectors. The unit injector
incorporates the pump, valve and injector. Its
internal solenoids permit fast, precise control of
fuel delivery into the cylinder. The unit injectors
are encased by the valve cover and not exposed
to the heat of exhaust system components.
Page 10
There are restrictions concerning the reuse of
certain fasteners. Refer to current specifications
bulletins and the SPECIFICATIONS section of
this manual for detailed information.
INTRODUCTION
Service Precautions Summary
Following is a summary list of the DO and DON’T
issues applying to MP8 engine service.
1. DO NOT machine the cylinder head for
clean-up since this will change injector
depth, thereby affecting emissions. It will
also upset the ability to correctly adjust
timing gear backlash.
2. DO NOT grind the injector copper sleeves.
3. Install the crankshaft main bearing caps
according to marked assembly number.
4. Connecting rod caps MUST BE mated to
their respective connecting rods due to the
“fractured manufacturing” process used.
Also, the rod caps can be installed only one
way because of the difference in spacing
between screw holes at each side of the
cap.
5. DO NOT use the lifting eye on the flywheel
housing when tilting the engine/transmission
assembly to an angle greater than
15 degrees.
6. Cylinder head installation requires lowering
the head onto the gasket using the
alignment screws and washers at the sides
of the head and block. The head must be
pulled back to the mounting plate using
screws inserted through the plate. Pressed
bosses in the gasket keep the head from
making full contact with the gasket surface
and prevent damage to the elastomer
sealing rings as the head slides into
position.
Use of ether or similar types of starting aids in
MACK
strictly prohibited. This applies to engines
with or without the electric pre-heater option.
An explosion could occur. Failure to heed this
danger may result in severe personal injury or
death.

for sealing various fluid joints and tubes. It is
essential that new O-rings of the correct
material be used whenever joints are
disassembled and reassembled.

Main features of the cylinder head are:
앫One-piece cast iron
PowerLeash™, the “brake” rocker arm works in
combination with the exhaust rocker arm to
precisely control the opening and closing of the
exhaust valves for engine braking.

앫Integral thermostat housing
Separate chambers for exhaust and inlet at each
cylinder make this a “crossflow” design. The fuel
channel, drilled from front to rear, connects with
grooves machined around each injector opening.
A plug at the rear of the cylinder head seals this
channel.
CAMSHAFT AND VALVE TRAIN
The engine has an overhead camshaft and rocker
arm shaft in support of four valves per cylinder.
The camshaft rides on seven journals with a
bearing cap and support block (saddle) at each
point. The bearing inserts (shells), bearing caps
and support blocks are replaceable.
In standard configuration (with VGT exhaust
brake only), there are three cams for each
cylinder, including inlet, injection and exhaust.
There are four cams per cylinder in the optional
configuration (VGT exhaust brake plus
PowerLeash™) with the addition of a “brake” cam
at each cylinder.
The rocker arms are positioned on the shaft (front
to back) in the order of inlet, injector, exhaust and
brake, if so equipped. Both the inlet and exhaust
rocker arms each drive the valve pairs via a
pinless yoke (bridge). On engines equipped with

7. Shim Retaining Screw
Exhaust valve yokes include a shim for
adjustment. Replaceable valve guides and seats
are made of alloyed cast iron and steel
respectively. All valve guides have oil seals.
Exhaust valves have double valve springs.
Rollers in the ends of the rocker arms contact the
cam shaft. The contacts with the yokes have ball
sockets for flexibility.
The camshaft is induction-hardened. Timing
marks for valve and injector adjustment are
located on the flange forward of the No. 1
camshaft journal. These marks are for adjusting
valve clearance. They do not apply to camshaft
timing.
Camshaft thrust washers are integral on the No. 7
journal bearing. Smooth rotation is ensured by
means of a vibration damper on the camshaft
gear. Teeth on the damper interact with the
camshaft position sensor for input to the EECU.

to the bottom.
The main and piston lubricating channels are
drilled longitudinally through the block. These are
plugged at the front of the block. The main
channel opens into a cast-in channel that
supplies oil to the timing gears. The piston
cooling channel is covered by the timing gear
cover.

CYLINDER HEAD GASKET
The cylinder head gasket is made of one piece of
sheet steel with vulcanized elastomer seals on oil
and coolant conduits. The design of the engine
and head gasket requires a unique procedure for
installation of the cylinder head.
The screws and washers at the side guide the
head into side-to-side alignment as it is laid on
the gasket and block. Screws passed through the
timing gear plate into the head pull the head into
alignment fore and aft. Small, stamped bosses on
the gasket hold the head clear of the seals and
allow it to glide accurately into position against
the plate during installation. Tightening the head
bolts flattens the bosses on the gasket. For this
reason, a new head gasket must be installed
whenever the head is removed.

2. Alignment Screws and
Washers
3. Cylinder Block
Three screws and washers installed at the side
(two in the block and one in the head) align the
head from side to side at assembly. Fore and aft,
the head is aligned by contact with the timing
gear plate.
The head is aligned with the timing gear plate by
screws passed through the plate into the head
and tightened securely. It is extremely important
to remove these screws before attempting to
remove the cylinder head from the block. Failure
to heed this caution may result in severe damage
to the timing gear plate and other engine
components.
Figure 10 — Cylinder Head Gasket
Page 19
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CYLINDER LINERS
The cylinder block uses replaceable wet cylinder
sleeves. The lower end of each sleeve is sealed
against the block with three elastomer rings. The
upper end is sealed with a ring of EPDM
elastomer situated directly under the sleeve
collar. This design cools the upper section of the
sleeve better because the area of coolant
circulation is larger.
The lower seals are fitted in grooves in the
cylinder block. The bottom seal is of a different
material and fluorescent violet in color to
distinguish it from the intermediate seals.
11
OIL PAN
The oil pan is plastic or steel with a threaded plug
for draining. The plastic pan has a groove in the
mounting flange which accepts a molded
elastomer gasket for a seal. The steel pan is
sealed with a gasket on the oil pan flange.
Twenty-two spring-loaded screws clamp the pan
to the block.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CRANKSHAFT
The crankshaft is drop forged steel and induction
hardened. It has seven journals with replaceable
bearings. Five oversized replacement bearing
options are available to accommodate crankshaft
regrinding.
The rear main cap (No. 7) includes an attaching
point for the lube pump. Thrust washers to control
axial movement straddle the central journal (cap
No. 4). The remaining caps (Nos. 1–3, 5 and 6)
are numbered to facilitate correct assembly.

The rods and caps are made by a “fracture”
process that requires a cap be assembled with its
original rod. Never attempt to use mismatched
rods and caps.
The piston is fitted with three rings. In the top
groove is a compression ring with a “keystone”
cross section. In the second groove, the
compression ring has a rectangular cross

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Oil flow for the piston cooling system is controlled
by two valves. The opening valve supplies oil and
the control valve balances the oil flow to the
piston cooling channel. The piston cooling nozzle
is aligned so that the oil jet hits the underside of
the piston crown.
TIMING GEARS
The timing gears are located at the rear of the
engine. Backing up the gears is a plate: a 6 mm
(1/4 inch) thick steel sheet attached to the
cylinder block.
The advantages of this configuration are more
precise timing, fewer components and lower
noise levels.
16
The power steering/fuel pump gear, the air
compressor gear and the PTO gear are not timing
gears. The pump and compressor gears fasten to
their respective components. The pump gear is
driven by the auxiliary idler gear. The compressor
gear is driven by the double idler gear.
The double idler drives the adjustable idler and
the gear used to drive the power take-off, if so
equipped. This is part of the “REPTO-Ready”
feature. A PTO unit with drive gear is substituted
for a cover on the flywheel housing.
The camshaft gear fastens to the hub on the end
of the shaft. A vibration damper also attaches to
the hub outboard of the gear. Teeth on the
damper actuate the camshaft position sensor.
The gear is driven via the adjustable idler.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
DRIVE BELTS
This engine can be configured to accommodate
either the conventional chassis or the low cab
forward (LCF) design. Depending on the vehicle,
the fan location may be high or low on the fan
bracket.
Two poly-V belts drive the front engine
accessories. The outer, primary belt (10 or
12 ribs) drives the coolant pump and fan hub from
a pulley on the crankshaft flange nested in the
vibration damper. The inner, secondary belt (six
ribs), driven by the crankshaft vibration damper,
drives the alternator and refrigerant compressor.
17
Each belt uses an automatic tensioner. In the
high position, Figure 17, there are two idler
pulleys in the primary loop: one between the
coolant pump pulley and the tension idler; the
other between the crankshaft pulley and the fan
hub.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Lubrication System
A gear-type pump at the rear of the engine,
driven by the crankshaft gear, draws lubricant
from the oil pan and supplies the system. Oil
flows from the pump through the distribution
housing to the filters, to a gallery at the right side
of the engine serving the crankshaft journals, to a
gallery at the left side serving piston lubrication

and cooling, to the cylinder head and rocker shaft
duct (valve rocker and camshaft) and back to the
oil pan. The system includes crankcase
ventilation.
Two full-flow filters and a by-pass filter maintain
clean lubricant. A sensor in the oil pan monitors
fluid level. There is an oil cooler immersed in
engine coolant inside the coolant duct cover.
Figure 19 — Lubrication System Diagram
A strainer and pickup tube lead the lubricant into
the pump. For the axle forward oil pan, the
strainer is mounted on a short tube held in place
by a bracket attached to the distribution housing.
For the axle back model, a long tube without the
bracket is supplied.

filters and the lubrication system is controlled by
six valves, including:

The reducing valve maintains constant system oil
pressure. The safety valve prevents excessive
pressure during periods of high viscosity. The oil
cooler thermostat valve prevents oil from entering
the cooler until it warms to the set point. The
overflow valve allows oil to by-pass the filter if it
becomes clogged. The opening valve prevents oil
from moving to the piston cooling outlets until the
system reaches the set pressure. The control
valve regulates the oil flow to the piston cooling
channels.

Page 26
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Crankcase Ventilation
Lubricant becomes a mist in many areas of the
engine as the result of the motion of the parts
(e.g., rocker arms, pistons, crankshaft, camshaft
and rocker shaft). The mist rides the drafts of air
and other gases that circulate in the open spaces
in the engine. To prevent pressure buildup, the
open spaces are ducted through a pipe that
opens to the atmosphere near the bottom of the
engine.
The crankcase ventilation (CCV) system
separates the oily mist from the gases by
centrifugal force. The oil returns to the oil pan.
The remainder escapes to the atmosphere.

A turbine in the CCV separator, driven by a small
stream of oil striking its fins, spins at high speed.
The mixture of gases and oily mist trapped in the
valve cover and the timing gear cover drains onto
the top of the center of the turbine and runs down
onto several discs rotating with the turbine.
Separation occurs as the mixture, flung outward
by the turbine, strikes the walls of the CCV. The
droplets of mist coalesce into a liquid and drain
back into the oil pan along with the oil that drives
the turbine. The gases are free to leave via an
open port.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Fuel is drawn by the suction side of the fuel pump
from the fuel tank into the ECU cooling plate and
enters the fuel filter housing. Fuel passes by the
one-way check valve which prevents the bleeding
of fuel back to the fuel tank and into the primary
fuel filter. The fuel becomes filtered by passing
through the filter media from the outside to the
center of the primary fuel filter. The fuel leaves
the primary filter and passes by a one-way valve
located in the threaded nipple of the primary filter.
The fuel flows from the filter housing to the
suction side of the fuel pump through an external
fuel line. Fuel becomes pressurized after leaving
the fuel pump and flows back to the filter housing
to enter the secondary filter. The fuel becomes
filtered by passing through the filter media from
the outside to the center of the secondary filter.
The fuel leaves the secondary filter and passes
by an automatic air bleed valve which is located in
the threaded nipple for the secondary filter. Fuel
passes by the fuel pressure sensor and then exits
the filter housing to enter the rear of the cylinder
head through an external fuel line. After fuel
enters the cylinder head, it passes through the
fuel gallery of the cylinder head to continuously
deliver fuel to all six unit injectors. Fuel leaves the
cylinder head after passing by the fuel pressure
regulator located at the left front corner of the
cylinder head. Fuel is routed back from the
cylinder head to the filter housing through an
external fuel line to deliver some return fuel back
into the suction side which goes to the fuel pump.
Any excessive fuel not consumed is bled off
through the de-aeration valve and then, directed
back to the fuel tank.
FUEL FILTRATION
Primary and secondary filter elements attach to
the underside of the filter valve housing. The
housing, located at the front lower left side of the
cylinder block, has an integral hand-priming
pump for bleeding the system. The 30 micron
pre-filter (primary filter) also separates water from
the fuel. Water collects in a cup on the bottom of
the pre-filter. There is a sensor to keep track of
the water and signal the EECU.
A one-way check valve located in the filter
housing prevents fuel from draining back to the
fuel tank when the engine is shut down. Also
included in the fuel filter housing is the fuel
pressure sensor just above the secondary filter.
앫The collected water can be dumped only
while the engine is not running, the key is in
the ON position and the parking brake is set.
앫Some trucks are built with a remote mounted
fuel water separator. In this case, the fuel is
drawn through the remote mounted filter
before it reaches the ECU cooler plate. On
the filter base, the mounting location for the
standard primary filter is blocked off with a
plate.

Page 30
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
This engine uses double solenoid unit injectors.
Unlike systems that require separate components
for delivering, pressurizing and injecting, this unit
injector combines these functions. These
injectors precisely control the fuel delivery
because of the two solenoids. The solenoids,
pump and nozzle are in a single body in close
proximity to each other.
The injector is set in a pressurized fuel gallery
where the fuel temperature is constant. Uniform
fuel temperature means uniform quantity in each
injection which means uniform power output from
each cylinder.
The fuel pump pressurizes the gallery so that fuel
rushes into each injector when it opens. Gallery
pressure is regulated by a valve that delivers
excess fuel back to the tank.
Copper sleeves, acting as coolant jackets, line
the bottoms of the injector bores. Engine coolant
circulates around these sleeves aiding the
process of controlling injection temperature.
There are four phases to the injector cycle of
operation. These include:
앫Fill phase
앫Spill phase
앫Injection phase
앫Pressure drop phase
24
Figure 24 — Unit Injector — Fill and Spill Phases
1. Pump Plunger
2. Fuel Gallery
Fill phase (A): During the filling phase, the pump
plunger is on its way up, the camshaft lobe is
passing its highest point and the rocker arm is on
its way toward the camshaft base circle. The fuel
valve is open, allowing fuel to flow into the unit
injector from the lower fuel gallery. Fuel flows into
the cylinder head and the unit injector pump
cylinder. Filling continues until the pump plunger
reaches its upper position.
3. Injector Nozzle
Spill phase (B): The spill phase begins when the
camshaft lobe forces the rocker arm to push the
pump plunger down. The fuel can now flow
through the fuel valve, through the holes in the
unit injector and out through the fuel gallery. The
spill phase continues as long as the fuel valve is
open.
Page 31
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
25
Figure 25 — Unit Injector — Injection and Pressure Drop Phases
1. Pump Plunger
2. Fuel Gallery
Injection phase (C): The injection phase begins
when the fuel valve closes. The camshaft lobe
and rocker arm continue to press down on the
pump plunger and injection occurs as the path
through the fuel valve closes. The injection phase
continues as long as the fuel valve is closed.
Pressure drop phase (D): The injection phase
ends when the fuel valve opens and pressure in
the unit injector drops below the nozzle opening
pressure. The fuel flows through the open fuel
valve, through the unit injector holes and out
through the fuel gallery. Note that the fuel valve
position (closed or open) determines when the
injection phase begins and ends. The time during
which the fuel valve is closed determines the
amount of fuel injected at each pump stroke.
Unit injectors are categorized and coded with
regard to tolerances. Whenever a unit injector is
replaced, the replacement injector MUST be
programmed for the cylinder in which it is
installed. This is done by programming EECU
parameters using the VCADS pro or the Premium
Tech Tool (PTT) to set Injector Trim parameters
with the trim codes marked on the injectors.
3. Injector Nozzle
The dimension by which the injector nozzle
extends from the head is critical. This means that
machining the head in any way that changes this
nozzle extension is not permitted.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
PowerLeash™ Engine Brake
The engine can be equipped with a
PowerLeash™ engine brake system to assist in
slowing the vehicle when necessary. The system
includes the:
앫Wiring harness
앫Camshaft
앫Oil control valve
앫Exhaust rocker arms
앫Engine brake rocker arms
앫Exhaust valve yokes (bridges)
There is a separate cam on the camshaft at each
cylinder for the engine brake rocker arm. The
lobes on this cam are timed to coordinate with the
lobes on the exhaust valve cam.
The exhaust rocker arm operates normally. When
engaged, the engine brake rocker arm also
operates the exhaust rocker arm. It causes the
valve to open in a strategy to decrease cylinder
power output. Engine power is reduced assisting
the brakes in slowing the vehicle.
The engine brake rocker arms are equipped with
a blade spring which keeps the rollers in contact
with the cams.
27
PowerLeash™ operation depends on all of the
following conditions which must exist
simultaneously.
앫Accelerator pedal released
앫Engine speed above 1100 rpm
앫Clutch pedal released
앫Road speed above 5 km/h (3.1 mph)
앫ABS inactive
앫Transmission in gear
앫Oil temperature above 55°C (131°F)
앫Charge air pressure above 50 kPa (7.25 psi)
On the cylinder head, the oil control valve
connects the oil passages in the head and rocker
shaft. The oil pump produces constant pressure
at this junction. While the accelerator pedal is
depressed, the control valve reduces the oil
pressure in the rocker shaft to a minimum
100 kPa (14.5 psi).
When the accelerator pedal is released (and the
PowerLeash™ switch is ON), the solenoid opens
allowing some oil to escape through a small port.
Reduced spring pressure moves the piston,
opens the passage to the rocker shaft and
increases the oil pressure. The system opens the
exhaust valve during induction and again
immediately before TDC on the compression
stroke.
Figure 27 — PowerLeash™ Oil Control Valve — Location
1. Tie Wraps
2. Electrical Connector
3. Attaching Screws
4. Solenoid
5. Tube — Valve to Shaft
The engine slows because the extra volume
under compression takes more power to
compress, and escaping pressure in the
combustion stroke reduces the power output. A
switch on the instrument panel allows the driver
to engage or disengage PowerLeash™.
If the ABS system becomes active, it
automatically disables PowerLeash™. If the oil
temperature goes below 55°C (131°F),
PowerLeash™ cannot be activated. A warning
lamp on the instrument panel flashes if the driver
attempts to activate it under this condition.
A port located in the front of the cylinder head
near the thermostat housing allows access to the
oil passageway. The plug can be removed and a
gauge and hose assembly inserted for use during
diagnostic procedures.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation System
28
Nitrous oxide (NOx) emission levels increase with
combustion temperature. The primary function of
the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is
to cool exhaust gas and send it back to the
combustion chamber to lower the combustion
temperature thereby to reduce NOx emissions.
EGR systems are configured differently for the
LCF and conventional chassis engines. The
mixer, where the recirculated exhaust joins the
inlet air, mounts at the front of the inlet manifold
for the conventional chassis, but for the LCF
chassis, it is located near the rear of the manifold.
This requires differences in the ducting from the
EGR cooler to the mixer.
EGR VALVE
This engine uses the EGR valve to recirculate
exhaust gases. Engine oil operates the EGR
valve. The EECU determines the desirable valve
opening based on inputs from a number of
sensors and commands the EGR valve solenoid
to open or close the valve.

4. Venturi
Engine
5. Differential Pressure
Sensors
6. EGR Cooler Outlet Pipe
7. EGR Mixer
Corrosion occurs in the inlet manifold if exhaust
gas condenses there. This can produce both
internal and external damage. To eliminate
corrosion, the EECU compares engine RPM,
torque load, ambient temperature, inlet manifold
temperature and EGR demand to calculate the
dew point in the inlet manifold. It then adjusts the
EGR opening to stay above the dew point.
Additionally, surfaces within the inlet manifold and
the mixing chamber are treated to resist
corrosion.
The EGR valve attaches to the rear section of the
exhaust manifold for reliable response and
turbocharger efficiency. This location also
protects the EGR cooler from harmful high
pressure exhaust pulses that occur during engine
braking.
Page 34
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
EGR VALVE FUNCTION
When the EGR valve is open, exhaust gas
recirculates into the combustion chamber. The
valve is normally closed when engine coolant
temperature is below 65°C (149°F) unless the
EECU commands the valve open during
automatic cooler cleaning mode. When coolant
temperature exceeds 65°C (149°F), engine load
exceeds 50%, and RPM exceeds 1200, the
EECU opens the EGR valve to approximately
90% of its range.
At idle, the EECU monitors exhaust temperature
every three minutes. If it exceeds 98°C (208°F),
the valve opens to approximately 14% of its
range. Otherwise, it remains closed.
EGR COOLER INLET PIPE
29
EGR COOLER
The EGR valve is connected to the EGR cooler
by the cooler inlet pipe. Using engine coolant, the
EGR cooler lowers the temperature of the gas
coming from the EGR valve. The cooler contains
a series of vanes that increase cooling efficiency
by swirling the hot gas before it enters the mixer.
EGR VENTURI SYSTEM
On leaving the EGR cooler, the gas flows through
a venturi equipped with two pressure sensors.
The venturi changes the speed and density of the
flow. The sensors report the pressure difference
to the EECU.
EGR COOLER OUTLET PIPE
The EGR cooler outlet pipe carries the exhaust
gas from the venturi to the mixer. Relatively short,
the tube passes over the valve cover, behind and
into the mixer at the front end of the inlet manifold
on the conventional chassis engine.
Figure 29 — EGR Valve and Cooler Inlet Pipe
1. EGR Valve
2. Cooler Inlet Pipe
3. Clamps
4. EGR Cooler
5. Electrical Connector
6. Oil Supply Line
The cooler inlet pipe conducts the exhaust from
the EGR valve to the EGR cooler. The cooler
lowers the exhaust stream temperature before it
reenters the combustion chamber.
Relatively much longer on the LCF, the tube
passes from the venturi around the front of the
valve cover and reaches back to the mixer at the
rear end of the inlet manifold.
A temperature sensor monitors exhaust
temperature sending the data to the EECU.
Excessively high temperature, or abnormally high
temperature for more than 30 minutes during an
hour, causes the EECU to limit engine power to
prevent engine damage.
EGR MIXER
The EGR mixer is the meeting point for cooled,
recirculating exhaust gas and outside air from the
CAC. From here, the combined gases pass into
the inlet manifold and on to the combustion
chamber.
INLET AIR HEATER
The optional inlet air heater mounts between the
mixer and the inlet manifold. It is activated when
the operator turns the key to the preheater
position and the engine coolant temperature is
lower than 10°C (50°F).
Operating time is controlled by the EECU. The
operating relay is mounted on the inlet manifold.
A lighted icon on the instrument panel signals
when the element is On.
Page 35
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
EGR DIAGNOSTICS
The EECU commands the EGR valve position
and monitors electric current consumed by the
EGR valve. An abnormally high reading indicates
a jammed EGR valve. The EECU verifies that its
command was sent and that the valve position
reflects the command. If the valve is jammed, or
its position doesn't change when commanded,
the EECU sets fault codes.
A degraded EGR cooler results in low efficiency.
The EECU calculates efficiency by comparing
EGR gas temperature with engine coolant and
exhaust temperatures. An EGR cooler clogged
with soot also causes a fault code to be set.
Exhaust Aftertreatment System
New, stringent standards for exhaust emission
control begin with the 2007 model year. The
Exhaust Aftertreatment System (EATS) has been
developed to act in combination with Ultra Low
Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel and the EGR system to
reduce noxious emissions to meet the
requirement. This new system treats the exhaust
after it leaves the turbocharger on its way to the
atmosphere.
CATALYTIC FILTERS
A catalytic filter (converter) is a porous form (like
a sponge) that has been coated with a catalytic
material. The flow of exhaust gas must pass
through the pores on its way to the atmosphere.
As a result, a high percentage of the PM is
transformed.
Nitrous oxide (NOx) emission levels increase with
combustion chamber temperatures. The primary
function of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
system is to cool exhaust gas and recirculate
exhaust gases back to the combustion chamber
to lower the combustion temperature, thereby
reducing nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions.
Reducing the quantity of noxious compounds to
an acceptable level beginning in the year 2007
requires altering their chemical composition.
Directing the flow of exhaust gas through catalytic
and particulate filters makes this happen.
PART IC U LAT E MAT TE R
The compounds remaining in the exhaust after
passing through the EGR system contain
extremely small particles of soot and ash called
particulate matter (PM). When these particles
contact certain metals under high temperature,
they are chemically transformed. The metals that
cause this transformation are called catalysts.
A catalytic filter, the diesel oxidation catalyst
(DOC) reduces emissions in diesel exhaust by an
average of approximately one third over a system
without a DOC. Its honeycomb-like structure
(called substrate) is coated with an active
catalyst. The PM is changed to carbon dioxide
and water. The substrate can be made of a wide
range of materials. Ceramic (cordierite) and
sintered metal are common.
Some PM usually remains unconsumed by the
heat and collects on the filter. Eventually, the filter
must be taken out to remove the accumulated
residue by other means. There is a special
machine to do this cleaning.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
Basically a trap, a diesel particulate filter (DPF)
collects the soot and ash to hold until they can be
burned off. A catalyzed DPF also transforms
unburned fuel, engine lubricant and carbon
monoxide into carbon dioxide and water.
Page 36
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Depending on vehicle vocation, the operating
temperature of the exhaust may or may not be
sufficient to consume the trapped soot and ash. If
necessary, a means of elevating the temperature
is included in the system.
FILTER REGENERATION
Cleaning a filter so it can continue to function is
called “regeneration.” High heat with a catalyst
breaks down the chemical properties. Depending
on the vehicle usage, the engine will be equipped
with a passive or an active regeneration system.
As with any filter, eventually the DOC and the
DPF will become clogged. Rising back pressure
caused by plugging the exhaust system
decreases fuel economy and reduces engine
efficiency. It is necessary to clean these filters
from time to time.
The filters can be regenerated to continue in use.
The high temperature needed to complete the
process exists in the exhaust itself. Because
some vehicle vocations do not allow the exhaust
temperature to rise to, or continue at, adequate
levels, a device to control the temperature is
included.
PASSIVE REGENERATION
For vehicles that produce and maintain adequate
exhaust temperature, the soot and ash are
consumed at a rate that prevents clogging the
filter prematurely. Setting a DOC ahead of the
catalyzed DPF in the exhaust stream reduces the
temperature required to regenerate the filters.
However, the process is not complete. Eventually,
the filter must be taken out to remove the
accumulated residue by other means.
ACTIVE REGENERATION
For vehicles that are unable to develop or sustain
adequate temperature, there is more than one
system for supplying sufficient heat.

Page 37
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
An aftertreatment fuel injector (AFI) (Figure 31),
adds fuel to the exhaust stream as it leaves the
turbocharger. The temperature of the exhaust at
this point is hot enough to ignite the fuel which
then produces the temperature required to clean
the filters. If needed, the discharge recirculation
valve (DRV) reroutes some of the turbocharger
output back through the turbocharger. This helps
to maintain high exhaust temperature. The engine
electronic control unit (EECU) controls the cycle
based on information from back pressure sensors
in the output stream. While the flow rate is
correct, the AFI and the DRV are turned off.
As with passive regeneration, the process is not
complete. Remove the filters and physically
remove the remaining material using the special
machine for cleaning. The filters are reusable.
CONTINUOUS AIR PURGE SYSTEM
The purpose of the Continuous Air Purge System
(CAPS) is to purge any residual fuel left in the
aftertreatment fuel injector (AFI) to help prevent
carbon fouling after regeneration. Any time the
engine is running and regeneration is not taking
place, air is purged through the AFI. Air for
system operation is drawn from the chassis
secondary air system.
DISCHARGE RECIRCULATION VALVE
The Discharge Recirculation Valve (DRV)
redirects some of the turbocharger output back
through the turbocharger. This results in elevated
exhaust temperature.
The EECU uses this feature to maintain adequate
exhaust temperature in support of active
regeneration in the DPF system.
MANUAL REGENERATION
A procedure called “Manual Regeneration” can
be used to regenerate the filters while they
remain in the vehicle. The VCADS service tool or
the Premium Tech Tool can be used to perform
this function.
The exhaust system reaches extremely high
temperatures. Ensure that the system
components are clear of all combustible
materials. Ensure that personnel are aware
that the surfaces are extremely hot. Failure to
heed this warning may result in severe
personal injury and property damage.
The CAPS system includes an in-line filter, a
chassis-mounted pressure regulator, an in-line
check valve and a double check valve assembly
(CVA) mounted on the AFI. The pressure
regulator reduces chassis air pressure to the
approximately 32 psi level required for the air
purge system operation. The double check valve
assembly, which has both air and fuel ports,
directs the flow of air and fuel to the AFI while
preventing fuel from entering the air system and
air from entering the fuel system.
ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL
A catalyst works better the higher the
temperature up to about 400°C (750°F). Above
this temperature, sulfur can become sulfuric acid.
These filtering systems are practical only on
vehicles that use ultra low sulfur fuels. It is
required that diesel engines operating in
conjunction with a DPF system use ultra low
sulfur fuel that contains 15 parts per million
(ppm), or less, of sulfur.
Page 38
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
OPERATIONAL MODES
The exhaust aftertreatment system (EATS)
usually operates in one of five modes.
앫Normal Mode
앫Heat Mode
앫Passive Regeneration Mode
앫Active Regeneration Mode
앫Service Mode
In the Normal Mode, the engine is controlled by
its regular calibration. However, the filters can be
self-cleaning through passive regeneration. Heat
Mode indicates that active regeneration is in
process. In Passive Regeneration Mode, the
engine creates sufficient exhaust temperature to
convert the gases and regenerate (clean) the
filters. In Active Regeneration Mode, exhaust
temperature is artificially raised for short periods
of time to convert the gases and clean the filters.
The applicable controller reacts to data from back
pressure sensors to start and stop the active
regeneration process. A system in Service Mode
is being inspected for accumulation of soot and
ash in the filters to determine whether they
should be manually regenerated or removed for
external regeneration.
DPF System Vehicle Mounting
The DPF system is either a vertical back-of-cab
(VBOC) DPF unit with muffler for the conventional
chassis or a space saver (Mack Cap) DPF unit
with muffler to accommodate the low cab forward
chassis. The space saver unit attaches to the
outside of the right rail under the cab (Figure 32).
Either of these connects to the engine exhaust
system behind the turbocharger.
32
Figure 32 — Vertical Back-of-Cab and Space Saver Units
1. Vertical Back-of-Cab Unit 2. Space Saver/Compact
Unit
Air Intake System
Fresh air enters the intake above the back of the
cab. Plastic duct work leads the air to the filter
assembly mounted on the bulkhead under the
hood. An impregnated paper filter prevents
foreign particles from passing through. The
assembly design permits the addition of a second
filter if needed in extreme environments.
A combination pressure/temperature sensor
mounted on the pipe between the filter housing
and the turbocharger alerts the driver if the filters
need replacement before the scheduled service.
The brake system air compressor also draws
fresh, clean air from this same pipe.
Page 39
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Variable Geometry Turbocharger
The engine is equipped with a variable geometry
turbocharger. The turbine housing has a set of
vanes and a sliding nozzle ring that maintains
sufficient back pressure in the exhaust manifold
for proper operation of the EGR system. A certain
amount of back pressure is required to push the
exhaust gases into the pressurized intake air at
the EGR mixer.
33
COOLANT PUMP
The back of the coolant (water) pump, with its
ducts for distributing coolant, is a separate
casting attached to the cylinder block.
A housing containing an impeller, shaft seals,
bearing and pulley attaches to the mounting
plate. The bearing is a permanently lubricated
combination roller and ball bearing. Between the
shaft seals and the bearing, there is a ventilated
space which leads into a duct behind the pulley.
This allows internal leaks to be detected.

Figure 33 — VGT and Electronic Control
Cooling System
The cooling system incorporates a belt-driven
coolant pump mounted on the front of the engine
on the right. It also uses a piston-type thermostat
housed in the front of the cylinder head and a fan
with viscous or air-operated drive mounted above
the crankshaft pulley. A coolant conditioner (filter)
attached to the pump housing filters impurities
from the coolant and releases supplemental
coolant additives for system protection.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
THERMOSTAT
This is a piston-type, full-flow thermostat with
piston, bulb, seal and housing in a single
assembly. Coolant flows continuously, either back
to the pump, or to the radiator and back to the
pump. It has lower pressure drop compared to
other types. The thermostat is mounted on the
front of the cylinder head.
ENGINE COOLING FAN
The cooling fan (Figure 35) runs via a viscous or
air-operated drive through which fan speed is
electronically controlled by the EECU. With
precise EECU control, fan speed is continuously
adjusted in response to several interrelated
influences. This makes for efficient cooling with
low fuel consumption.

Engine Management System
ENGINE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT
(EECU)
36
Figure 36 — EECU and Cooler
The engine management system module, also
known as the Engine Electronic Control Unit
(EECU), is located on the left side of the engine
just below the inlet manifold. The EECU is cooled
by fuel circulating through a plate attached to the
cover of the unit. The fuel comes from the tank on
its way to the fuel pump.
Figure 35 — Viscous Drive Engine Cooling Fan

Speed Sensor
2. Connector (to EECU)
Other fan drive options include On/Off Fan
Clutches and Electronically Modulated Fan
Drives. Refer to Engine Cooling Service Manual,
7-002, for a complete description of all available
fan drive systems.
Algorithms, called maps, are programmed in the
EECU so that it can translate sensor data into
action. These maps enable the EECU to receive
status information from the sensors and send
functional data to the actuators so they can
simultaneously assume the proper posture for the
safest, most efficient operation of the engine in
any given instant.
Due to the EECU self-learning capability, it is
necessary to reset the learned EECU parameters
after servicing some engine-related components.
This allows the EECU to learn the new
component's behavior. After servicing is
complete, perform the “Learned Data Reset”
located in the Function Group 1 menu on the PC
tool.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Active Regeneration
Cleaning a diesel particulate filter using an
auxiliary heating mechanism to achieve optimum
temperature for rapidly inducing chemical
changes in the particulate matter trapped in the
filter.
Aftertreatment Fuel Injector (AFI)
A device to inject fuel into the exhaust stream
between the turbocharger and the diesel
particulate filter where it is ignited. This creates
the high temperature needed to enable the
system to reduce noxious exhaust emissions to
the minimum and to regenerate the particulate
filter.
Air Pressure Sensor
The air pressure sensor is mounted in the air
intake between the CMCAC outlet and the EGR
mixer. This sensor monitors CMCAC outlet
pressure and relays this value to the EECU
module.
Ash
The noncombustible portion of diesel particulate
matter. Diesel fuel produces little ash, but
crankcase lubricant and fuel-borne catalysts
produce considerable ash.
Atmospheric Pressure Sensor
A sensor incorporated into the EECU that detects
atmospheric (barometric) pressure and relays
this value to the EECU. This pressure is affected
by altitude.
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
An odorless, colorless gas resulting from
incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons; found in
diesel truck exhaust; poisonous to humans and
animals.
Catalyst
Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (CEGR)
A system whereby a pre-determined amount of
exhaust gas is diverted through a heat exchanger
where it is cooled and sent to the inlet manifold
for reintroduction into the combustion chambers.
Adding the cooled exhaust gases to the
combustible fuel and air mixture lowers the
overall combustion temperatures for reduced
formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Cordierite
A ceramic material constructed to be used as a
substrate in diesel oxidation catalysts. With
additional processing, it may also be used as a
diesel particulate filter.
Diesel Particulate Matter
The complex mixture of extremely fine particles
and liquid droplets that are discharged by an
operating diesel engine. The chemical
compositions can be broken down to safer
substances.
Differential Pressure Sensors
These are devices designed to read air (gas)
pressure at two points in the path of the flow and
report the values for use in algorithms in the
EECU.
Discharge Recirculation Valve (DRV)
A device used to return some of the turbocharger
output air back to the turbocharger to raise the
exhaust temperature when needed for active
regeneration of the diesel particulate filter.
Electronic Unit Injector (EUI)
Controlled electronically by the EECU, there is
one electronic unit injector for each cylinder of an
engine. A unit injector incorporates the pump, the
injector nozzle and two solenoids in a single body.
Actuated by the camshaft via rocker arms with
roller followers, electronic unit injectors offer
precise fuel metering using a process called “rate
shaping.”
A substance that promotes or provokes chemical
change at a different rate or different temperature
than otherwise possible.
Page 44
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Engine Electronic Control Unit (EECU)
A microprocessor-based controller usually
mounted on the engine block. On the engine, a
cooling plate mounts on the surface of the
module. A tube on the plate conducts fuel drawn
from the tank on its way to the pump before being
pressurized. The fuel acts as the coolant. With
the MACK V-MAC
fuel timing and delivery, exhaust gas recirculation,
fan operation, engine protection functions and
engine brake operation.
Exhaust Aftertreatment System (EATS)
Equipment installed to remove the maximum
amount of noxious emissions from the exhaust
gases after they leave the combustion chamber
before they reach the atmosphere. This includes
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), the variable
geometry turbocharger (VGT), the discharge
recirculation valve (DRV), the aftertreatment fuel
injector (AFI) and the diesel particulate filter
(DPF).
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
A system whereby a pre-determined amount of
exhaust gas is returned to the combustion
chambers. Adding a small percentage of exhaust
gas to the fuel/air mixture lowers the combustion
temperature reducing the formation of nitrogen
oxides (NOx).
Hydrocarbons (HC)
®
IV system, the EECU controls
Intake Air Temperature and Humidity Sensor
Mounted in the air intake between the air cleaner
and the turbo compressor housing, detects
outside air temperature and humidity and relays
these values to the EECU.
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)
High temperatures and pressures of combustion
produce oxides of nitrogen (NOx). When
combustion temperature exceeds 1372°C
(2,500°F), oxygen and nitrogen combine in large
quantities to form NOx. By themselves, NOx
emissions are no great hazard; however, when
mixed with the right amount of HC in the air, NOx
will combine in the presence of sunlight to form
smog.
Passive Regeneration
Cleaning a particulate filter by spontaneous
burning of soot that collects on it. The exhaust
temperature remains continuously high enough to
incinerate the soot.
Poly-V Belt
A multi-ribbed belt design incorporated into the
accessory drive belt and pulley arrangement at
the front of the engine.
Regeneration
Cleaning a diesel particulate filter so as to renew
its capacity to function efficiently.
Chemical compounds composed only of carbon
and hydrogen. Gasoline, diesel fuel and motor oil
are all examples of a very large group of
hydrocarbons. The largest source of
hydrocarbons is petroleum.
Idler Gear
A gear running between a driving and a driven
gear to make the driven gear rotate in the same
direction as the driving gear.
Idler Tensioner
A belt tensioning device designed to maintain
optimum tension under varying engine speeds
and load.
Roller Follower
A type of rocker arm with an axle-mounted roller
that rides on (or follows) a camshaft lobe. The
rolling motion of this design provides increased
load capacity with less friction than the flat-faced
rocker arm design. Roller followers provide the
rocker arm lifting action for the electronic unit
injector, intake and exhaust valves and exhaust
brake.
Soot
Carbonaceous particulate matter, black in color,
found in diesel exhaust. Soot particles are
extremely fine. Captured by the diesel particulate
filter, their chemical characteristics are changed
by the heat to which they are exposed, turning the
soot into ash.
Page 45
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT)
Turbo turbine housing has moving components to
control flow of exhaust gas and build back
pressure in the exhaust system for EGR flow. The
VGT also performs as an engine brake.
VGT Wheel Speed
A sensor mounted in the turbo bearing housing
that detects turbine and compressor wheel speed
and relays this data to the EECU.
Vehicle Electronic Control Unit (VECU)
A microprocessor-based controller, sometimes
referred to as a module, mounted in the cab,
inside the passenger-side dash panel. With the
MACK V-MAC IV system, the VECU controls
engine speed, cruise control, accessory relay
controls, idle shutdown and trip recorder
functions.

ENGINE SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
[200 EA]
The Vehicle Management and Control (V-MAC
IV) system monitors engine function and displays
a code when a fault is detected. The code can be
observed on the instrument panel or through an
electronic diagnostic tool. An explanation of the
fault codes can be found in VCADS, Guided
Diagnostics or the Fault Code Manual, 8-218.
Guided Diagnostics also includes
symptom-based troubleshooting. To obtain Tech
Tool, contact your local MACK dealer.
The Tech Tool provides complete system
diagnostics. For more information, see manual
8-371 or the Tech Tool web site. Repair
information is available in the respective engine
service manuals and from the MACK Electronic
Information System (EIS). EIS is easily accessed
w i t h Te c h To o l .
Troubleshooting Technique
Depending on the vehicle configuration, a
problem may be caused, or influenced, by
malfunctions in other vehicle components. Be
sure to inspect for unusual conditions among the
batteries, tires, axles, trailer, bodybuilder
adaptations and other possibilities. Consult
specific service information resources according
to the conditions observed. Fuel waxing, for
example, can cause symptoms easily mistaken
for other engine problems.
If possible, recreate the problem in an
environment similar to that described by the
vehicle operator. Run the engine at the
temperature at which the symptom occurred.
Engine problems can be electrical, mechanical or
a combination of the two. Electrical and electronic
problems will, for the most part, cause fault codes
to be set in the V-MAC system.
Before Troubleshooting Begins
Before troubleshooting begins, observe all shop
safety procedures.
Talk to the vehicle operator. Learn how the engine
operated before it failed. Ask about the
maintenance schedule and the fuel, coolant and
lubricant used. Begin by attempting to determine
whether anything has happened recently that
could point to the electrical system, but which is
not related to the electronic control system.

Noise and Vibration
Be sure to discuss noise and vibration issues with
the driver. It is important to discover under what
conditions these occur. Maybe a test drive will be
NORMAL VERSUS ABNORMAL
Noise is the name we give to vibration that
irritates us through our ears. Vibration can be felt
without being heard. Engine operation can cause
vibration and noise throughout a vehicle that we
regard as “normal.”
Abnormal noises and vibrations suggest that
something is not working properly or is not
necessary to familiarize yourself with the details
of the driver's story. Even so, it will probably be
necessary to start the diagnostic process with a
guess as to the nature of the difficulty.
The table below affords an opportunity to make
note of various influences discovered while
investigating the problem and organize thoughts.

Cylinder Liner and Piston Wear,
Check
Thoroughly clean the cylinder liners and pistons
before inspecting and measuring. To thoroughly
check for cracks, remove the cylinder liner from
the cylinder block. Mark the position of the
cylinder liner in the cylinder block before
removing it so it can be installed in the same
position during assembly.
CYLINDER LINER
1. Check the cylinder liner for cracks, paying
special attention to the liner flange. The
standard dye penetrant or Magnaflux
method can be used for checking.
2. Measure the cylinder liner wear with a
cylinder bore gauge. The original bore size
of the cylinder liner can be used as a
reference measurement.
52
®
3. Measure the cylinder liner at Top Dead
Center (TDC), at Bottom Dead Center
(BDC) and at a couple of positions in
between. At each point, measure in two
directions — engine crosswise and engine
lengthwise.
53
Figure 52 — Measuring Cylinder Liner Wear
Figure 53 — Measurement Locations
4. If wear is greater than 0.05–0.10 mm
(0.002–0.004 inch), use a complete liner kit
(cylinder liner, piston, piston rings, piston pin
and cylinder liner seals). Also consider
engine oil consumption to determine when
to replace the cylinder liner.
Pistons and cylinder liners are available from
stock only as matched pairs and should not be
mixed.
Page 63
TROUBLESHOOTING
PISTON
Inspect the piston ring grooves, lands, skirt and
combustion bowl for wear, scuff marks, deep
scratches, cracks and blow-by. Pistons are NOT
repairable. Discard worn or damaged pistons.
Do not stamp or engrave on the TOP of the
piston. Failure to heed this caution may result in
severe engine damage.
To ensure that pistons are reinstalled into the
same cylinders, the pistons must be tagged with
the corresponding cylinder number when
removed during disassembly.

Page 64
TROUBLESHOOTING
If a large enough container cannot be obtained,
the EGR cooler can be tested without being
immersed in water by using the test plugs
included with the kit, 88800216-5, to seal the gas
outlet port. The EGR cooler core can then be
filled with water and tested by applying air
pressure to the coolant outlet port as shown in
Figure 56. When using this technique, the cooler
must be tested in the upright position.
To ease the installation of the test plug, coat
the inside of the hose with a suitable O-ring
lubricant.
56
If the cooler is being tested without being
immersed in water, look inside the gas inlet port.
If bubbles are seen, the cooler is leaking
internally and must be replaced.
A stream of bubbles seen coming from around
the plugs in either of the coolant ports indicates
that the O-rings may be damaged. If this is the
case, remove the plugs, inspect the O-rings and
replace as required.
6. Lift the EGR cooler out of the container and
remove the pressure testing equipment.
7. Dump the water from inside the EGR cooler
and then use compressed air to remove any
remaining water from the cooler core and
outer cover.

appears, replace the EGR cooler.
(on Vehicle)
Verify suspected leaks in the cylinder head or
block by pressure testing before replacing these.
Do not use Magnaflux

Oil Level Check
When checking oil levels, the vehicle must be
parked on level ground. Components must be
filled to the correct level. DO NOT OVERFILL.
The best time to check oil level is while the engine
is COLD (prior to starting at the beginning of the
work day, or after the vehicle has sat
approximately 2 hours). At normal operating
temperature (engine oil temperature above 80°C
[175°F]), oil level can be checked 15 minutes
after shut down.
Failure to wait a sufficient amount of time (2 hours
if engine oil temperature is below 80°C [175°F])
or 15 minutes if oil temperature is above 80°C
[175°F]) will result in an inaccurate dipstick
reading.
For accurate oil level readings, the dipstick must
be inserted fully into the dipstick tube. The level
must be close to the FULL line (at least between
the LOW and FULL lines) on the dipstick, but
must NOT exceed the FULL line.

type oil filters.
DISPOSABLE SPIN-ON OIL FILTER
REPLACEMENT
Change oil and replace oil filters using the
following procedure:
Install new filters dry.
1. Run the engine until normal operating
temperature is reached. Then, shut off the
engine and drain the oil before the engine
cools.
2. Thoroughly clean the area around the filters
before removing.
Crankcase Ventilation System
The crankcase ventilation (CCV) system
separator is not repairable. If there is apparently
faulty operation, perform these inspections before
replacing the separator.
1. Inspect the separator inlet hose and
connectors at the valve cover and at the
separator. Remove any obstruction, oil film,
residue and particles.
2. Inspect the separator outlet hose and
connector. Remove any obstruction, oil film,
residue and particles.
3. Remove the separator and attempt to turn
the turbine manually. If it does not turn
easily, replace the separator.
4. If the turbine turns easily, inspect and clean
the oil jet nozzle.
5. Reassemble the separator and the hoses.
6. If faulty operation continues, continue fault
tracing with Guided Diagnostics.
3. Using filter wrench 9998487 or equivalent,
remove the spin-on filters and wipe the filter
mounting base clean.
4. Fill each filter with 1.9 liters (2 quarts) of the
specified engine oil. DO NOT allow any
contaminants to enter the filters while filling.
5. Apply a film of clean engine oil to the sealing
gasket on each new filter.
6. Install the filters and tighten 3/4 to 1 turn
after the gasket contacts the base.
7. Fill the crankcase with the recommended
engine oil. If the engine is equipped with a
REPTO unit, add one additional quart.
8. Start the engine and check for leaks. Run
the engine for approximately five minutes,
then shut it off and recheck the oil level. Add
oil if necessary.
Use of anything other than genuine MACK filters
may cause damage and void the engine warranty.
Change filters according to the recommended
maintenance schedule.

FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT
Fuel Filter Change
[231 BA]
FILTER DESCRIPTION
Two filters ensure that clean, waterless fuel
reaches the electronic unit injectors. One is a
full-flow filter, the other is a water separating
pre-filter with a transparent cup to collect and
drain the water. A water-in-fuel sensor informs the
driver of excessive accumulation in the cup. The
water separating pre-filter is in the “suction side”
of the fuel circuit. It is a spin-on type with one end
of its casing threaded to receive the cup.
The full-flow main filter is on the “pressure side”
of the circuit. It is also an easily replaced spin-on
filter. The casing completely encloses the filter
element. This filter is rated at 3–5 microns.
75
FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT
Because of ice buildup or fuel waxing which can
clog fuel filters, it may be necessary during
extremely cold weather to reduce the time or
mileage interval between fuel filter changes.
Be careful to prevent foreign matter of any kind
from entering the filters during service.
Install new fuel filters dry.
Water Separating Pre-Filter Replacement
To replace the water separating pre-filter:
1. Disconnect the electrical cable.
2. Make sure the filter casing is thoroughly
cleaned. If not already done, wash the area
around the filter mounting adapter with a
suitable solvent and blow dry with
compressed air.

3. With a suitable container in place to collect
spillage, open the fitting and drain the filter.
4. Unscrew and remove the water cup.
5. Using a filter wrench, remove the filter from
the mounting bracket and discard it safely.
6. Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the
sealing gasket of the new filter.
7. Screw the new dry filter in place and tighten
an additional 3/4 to 1 turn by hand after the
gasket contacts the base.
After filter installation, operate the hand primer to
fill the fuel filters before attempting to start the
engine.
8. Screw the water cup into the filter casing.

Page 78
MAINTENANCE
2. Put a suitable container in place to collect
spillage.
There is a new-style pre-filter with a
stepped-down diameter at the bottom of the filter.
The earlier-style filter has straight sides with a
larger bottom diameter which requires an adapter
to attach the fuel/water separator bowl to the
filter. When replacing the previous straight-sided
filter with the current stepped-down version, the
adapter is not used. However, do not discard the
adapter as it can be used should inventory of the
earlier-style filter still be available.
9. If necessary, replace the full-flow main filter.
See the following instructions.
10. Connect the electrical cable.
11. Start the engine and run at idle for five
minutes to fill the filter with fuel.
12. Check for leaks.
Full-Flow Main Filter Replacement
To replace the full-flow main filter:
1. Make sure the filter casing is thoroughly
cleaned. If not already done, wash the area
around the filter mounting adapter with a
suitable solvent and blow dry with
compressed air.
3. Using a filter wrench, remove the filter
casing from the mounting bracket and
discard it.
4. Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the
sealing gasket of the new filter.
5. Screw the new dry filter in place and tighten
an additional 3/4 to 1 turn by hand after the
gasket contacts the base.
6. If necessary, replace the water separating
pre-filter. See the preceding instructions.
7. Start the engine and run at idle for five
minutes to fill the filter with fuel.
8. Check for leaks.
Severe engine damage may be caused by
attempting to prime the fuel system using an
auxiliary pump or by applying air pressure in the
fuel tank. These techniques may destroy seals
that prevent fuel from leaking into the crankcase.

levels are reset back to zero.
MAINTENANCE
Aftertreatment Fuel Injector (AFI)
When replacing the AFI, check the part number
of the injector to ensure that an injector with a
proper flow rate for the engine is installed.
Installing an injector with the incorrect flow rate
may cause dangerously high regeneration
temperatures and subsequent DPF damage.
REMOVAL
1. Apply the parking brake and place the shift
lever in neutral.
2. Disconnect all cables from ground (negative)
battery terminals to prevent personal injury
from electrical shock.
3. Remove P-clamp screws securing the AFI
harness and fuel supply line.
4. Connect coolant extraction tool DBT2V700
to the drain fitting at the bottom of the
radiator. Drain the coolant.
6. Disconnect both the inlet and outlet coolant
lines from the aftertreatment fuel injector
fittings.
91
Figure 91 — AFI Coolant Lines
7. Disconnect the aftertreatment fuel injector
wiring harness connector. Remove all clips
and tie straps to allow the harness to hang
free.
8. Remove and discard the aftertreatment fuel
injector mounting bolts and spacers, and
then remove the injector from the diffuser
pipe attached to the turbocharger outlet.
An alternative method is to use drain hose
9996049 to drain coolant into a suitable
container.
5. Disconnect the aftertreatment fuel injector
double check valve assembly (CVA). Collect
any residual fuel that might be in the fuel line
in a suitable container.
Mark the AFI orientation relationship to the
diffuser. With the early-style diffuser, the AFI is
positioned with the higher side of the AFI heat
shield facing the turbocharger. With the new-style
diffuser, the AFI is positioned with the higher side
of the heat shield facing the EGR valve.
9. Remove and discard the high-temperature
gasket and steel plate gasket from the
bottom of the injector.
INSTALLATION
1. Install a new high-temperature gasket and
steel plate gasket onto the bottom of the
aftertreatment fuel injector.
2. Apply high-temperature nickel-graphite
anti-seize compound to new injector
mounting bolt threads and insert the bolts
into the spacers. Position the injector onto
the diffuser pipe (attached to the
turbocharger outlet) and hand start the bolts
with spacers.

3. Secure the injector mounting bolts. Tighten
the bolts according to specification.
4. Reconnect the aftertreatment fuel injector
wiring harness connector. Secure the
injector wiring harness with clips and tie
straps.

7. Install the P-clamp and screws to secure the
AFI harness and fuel supply line to the
diffuser.
8. Fill the engine cooling system with the
recommended coolant using the coolant
extractor.
9. Install all previously removed cables to the
ground (negative) battery terminals.
10. Perform Aftertreatment Injector Adaptive
Factor Reset using VCADS/Tech Tool.
5. Reconnect the coolant lines to the
aftertreatment injector fittings and tighten to
specification.

6. Connect the aftertreatment fuel injector fuel
check valve assembly (CVA) and tighten to
specification.
11. Start the engine, check for leaks and proper
operation. After shutdown, replenish fluids
as necessary.
CLEANING
1. Apply the parking brake and place the shift
lever in neutral.
2. Disconnect all cables from ground (negative)
battery terminals to prevent personal injury
from electrical shock.
3. Remove P-clamp screws securing the AFI
harness and fuel supply line.
4. Disconnect the aftertreatment fuel injector
double check valve assembly (CVA). Collect
any residual fuel that might be in the fuel line
in a suitable container.
The coolant lines do not have to be disconnected
nor coolant drained for AFI cleaning.
5. Remove and discard the aftertreatment fuel
injector mounting bolts and spacers, and
then remove the injector from the diffuser
pipe attached to the turbocharger outlet.

9. Inspect the injector tip to make sure it is
thoroughly clean and all soot has been
removed. Use a mirror if a clear view of the
tip is not possible.
97
6. Cover the opening in the diffuser pipe to
prevent dirt and cleaning fluid from entering
the exhaust system.
7. Remove and discard the high-temperature
gasket and steel plate gasket from the
bottom of the injector.
8. Carefully turn the AFI body and spray the
injector tip with carburetor cleaning solution.
Brush the injector tip with a stiff bristled
nylon toothbrush. Repeat two or three times.
Do NOT kink the fuel and coolant lines when
cleaning the injector. Kinking the lines may result
in leakage.
Only carburetor cleaner should be used for
cleaning the injector. Other cleaners, such as
brake cleaner products, do not work and may
contain chlorine that could damage the catalyst if
they enter the exhaust system.

10. Install a new high-temperature gasket and
steel plate gasket onto the bottom of the
aftertreatment fuel injector.
11. Apply high-temperature nickel-graphite
anti-seize compound to the new injector
mounting bolt threads and insert the bolts
into the spacers. Position the injector onto
the diffuser pipe (which attaches to the
turbocharger outlet) and hand start the bolts
with spacers.
12. Secure the injector mounting bolts. Tighten
the bolts according to specification.
13. Connect the aftertreatment fuel injector fuel
check valve assembly (CVA) and tighten to
specification.
