Reed Valves EGR Charge Air Mixer The MBE 4000 engines for on-highway EPA 2004 regulation applications use a cooled EGR system. Part of the exhaust gasses from the front three cylinders are routed from the exhaust manifold through the EGR cooler, past control and reed valves, and are mixed with the intake manifold charge air.

EGR modulated control valve and the mixer and then back to the cylinder. EGR Control Valves There are two EGR valves on the MBE 4000 EGR engine — the EGR shutoff valve and the EGR modulated control valve. The EGR shutoff valve is a pneumatically driven butterfly valve, located at the inlet of the EGR cooler.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS The following safety measures are essential when working on the MBE 4000 engine. To reduce the chance of personal injury and/or property damage, the following instructions must be carefully observed: Proper service and repair are important to the service technician and the safe, reliable operation of the engine.
Listed in Table 4, listed in Table 5, listed in Table 6, listed in Table 7, and listed in Table 8 are the torque specifications for the MBE 4000 engine. Torque Values for U.S. Customary Thread Fasteners with Lubricated* or Plated Threads†...

CYLINDER HEAD The MBE 4000 engine has individual heads for each cylinder. To remove one head, follow these instructions, step by step. To remove all the heads, repeat each step in these instructions, as applicable, for all six cylinders.
EGR CYLINDER HEAD AND BLOCK There are several minor changes in the cylinder liner, block and engine lifter brackets between the MBE 4000 EGR engine and the non-EGR engine. 1.4.1 EGR Cylinder Head Installation Be aware of the following notice when installing the cylinder head on an EGR engine:...
1. Remove the engine from the vehicle. NOTE: The MBE 4000 engine has individual heads for each cylinder. To remove one piston, do these procedures step by step. To remove all the pistons, repeat each step in these instructions, as applicable, for all six pistons.

Figure 1-109 Cylinder and Valve Layout 1.19.2.1 Method One — Adjust Each Cylinder in Firing Order Method one allows you to adjust each cylinder in the order in which fuel is injected. The crankshaft must be repositioned after each cylinder is adjusted as listed in Table 1-35.

1. Remove the engine trim cover. NOTE: The MBE 4000 engine has individual heads for each cylinder. To remove the injector line for one cylinder, do these procedures step by step. To remove all the injector lines, repeat each step in these instructions, as applicable, for all six cylinders.
1. Remove the engine trim cover. NOTE: The MBE 4000 engine has individual heads for each cylinder. To remove the injector nozzle for one cylinder, do these procedures step by step. To remove all the injector nozzles, repeat each step in these instructions, as applicable, for all six cylinders.
When topping off, use only engine oils of the correct API designation and SAE rating. 5.2.1 Synthetic Oils Synthetic oil may be used in MBE 4000 engines, provided they are of the correct API designation and viscosity, as required for non-synthetic oil. Synthetic oil offers improved low-temperature flow properties and high-temperature resistance to oxidation.
5.3.1 Fully Formulated Antifreeze Antifreeze approved for use in the MBE 4000 engine is a mixture of glycol compound (ethylene glycol), and corrosion inhibitors. Antifreeze containing glycol compounds and corrosion inhibitors is known as fully-formulated antifreeze.
Page 396
The concentrations of some inhibitors will gradually deplete during normal engine operation. SCAs replenish the protection for cooling system components. The coolant must be maintained with the proper concentration of SCA. Detroit Diesel Power Cool maintenance SCAs are recommended. All information subject to change without notice.
Page 397
Recycled Antifreeze Recycled antifreeze that complies with TMC RP-329 Type “A” (for ethylene glycol) is approved for use in MBE 4000 engines. The antifreeze must be recycled by distillation, reverse osmosis, or ion exchange. Other recycled antifreeze, especially any antifreeze recycled by means of filtration processes, is not approved.

This can cause deposits or dropout in the cooling system. The following types of corrosion inhibitors are approved for use in MBE 4000 engines: Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCAs) Nitrated Organic Acid Technology (NOAT) Inhibitors Corrosion inhibitors are very important in maintaining engine life. All corrosion inhibitors protect against corrosion caused by acid, and cavitation of wet cylinder liners.
Page 399
5.3.6 Non-Approved Coolants The following types of coolant are not approved for use in MBE 4000 engines: Antifreeze or coolant containing phosphate can cause dropout, overheating, and damage to coolant pump seals. Automotive coolants offer no protection against liner pitting, and generally contain high levels of phosphate and silicate.

11.3.4 Changing the Idle Speed The rpm range of the MBE 4000 engine is 600 to 850 rpm if the parameters in the VCU are set to the default range. Change the idling speed as follows: All information subject to change without notice.
Page 555
Nitrite Interval Checks 13.1.7 Inhibitor Level Checking Use Detroit Diesel PowerTrac 3–way Coolant Test Strips to measure nitrite and glycol concentrations. Cavitation/corrosion protection is indicated on the strip by the level of nitrite concentration. Freeze/boil-over protection is determined by glycol concentration.
Page 565
For types of coolant, 14.1.4 Storage Required protective measures for the MBE 4000 engine depend on the following: The length of time that the engine will be out of service The climate and conditions where the engine is stored After cleaning, engines should, whenever possible, be placed in a dry, well-ventilated place.
