SCOPE.

    This manual is published fo r the information and guidance of ordnance maintenance personnel. It contains detailed instructions forinspection, disassembly, assembly, maintenance and repair of theGuiberson Diesel Engine, Model T1400, Series 3. S ectio n XII of thismanual lists all Standard Nomenclature Lists, Technical Manuals andother publications pertinent to the materiel described herein .2. DESCRIPTION.

    a. General Description.(1) The Guiberson Diesel Engine, Model T1400, is a nine-cylinderradial engine, air-cooled, and using fuel oil fo r fuel. C ooling fins aroundthe cylinder heads and barrels are provided fo r heat radiation, andbaffles direct the flow of air to the cylinders.(2) The engine is mounted vertically in the tank w ith the intake

    and exhaustmanifolds to the rear, with the cowling and flywheel facingthe front of the tank. Therefore, the manifold side of the engine isreferred to as the rear of the engine, and the cowling and flywheel sideof the engine is referred to as the front.(3) The cylinders fire counterclockwise, facing the front of theengine, the firing order being 1-3-5-7-9-2-4-6-8. N o. 1 cylinder is at thetop of the engine.(4) A ir is drawn into the intake manifold through a vertical air hornand air cleaner at each side of the engine. The air is compressed in the

    combustion chamber to a ratio of 14 to 1 . C ompression raises the temperature of the air sufficiently to ignite the fuel oil, w hen it is injected.(5) Fuel is pumped into the fuel channel of the engine by a fuelsupply pump. However, individual injection pumps, at each cylinderrbuild up pressure that forces the fuel into thecylinders. These injectionpumps also measure the correct amount of fuel which is forced into thecombustion chamber through a fuel injector at each cylinder.(6) The operation of the fuel injection pumps is controlled by afuel control assembly at the rear of the engine. The injection pump

Theselevers move up and down, actuated by the lobes of the fuel cam ringover which they operate, to move the injection pump plungers up anddown. The position of the plunger on the lever determines the lengthof stroke, and amount of fuel injected.

    (7) Valve tappets operate on the valve cam in the "nose" or frontcrankcase section. The intake valve tappets operate over the lobes ofone cam, while the exhaust valve tappets are operated by a differentcam.(8) A decompression plate is also located in the front crankcasesection. When the decompression lever in the tank is set at "decompression," theexhaust valve tappets rest on the lobes ofthe decompressionplate and are heldopen.(9) Lubrication of moving parts of the engine is accomplished byoil which is forced through drilled passages and by oil splash createdby moving parts within the crankcase. Oil is pumped from an externaltankand circulated through the engine. Before itis returnedto the tankit is passed throughoil coolers to reducethetemperature.(10) A complete description of the. various parts of the enginefollows:

    of the levers operate on a fuel cam ring. The levers move up and downas the rollers contact the lobes of the fuel cam ring.(b) A throttle control segment gear moves the fuel control lever

    assembly as the throttle is operated.(c) The fuel injection pump plungers ride on the levers of the fuel

    control lever assembly (fig. 13). A s the levers move up and down overthe lobes of the fuel cam ring, the plungers move up and down tooperate the fuel injection pumps.(d) Turning the fuel control lever assembly by means of the throttlecontrol segment gear and throttle gear, changes the location of theinjection pump plungers on the fuel control levers. This determines the

    length of the plunger stroke and the amount of fuel injected.(8) F U E L C AM R I N G AN D D RIV E G EA R (fig. 4). The fuel cam ring

    is of forged steel heat-treated and machined all over. It is secured tothe fuel cam drive gear by six bolts.

    (c) The lubricating system is made up of a storage tank, oil filters,a combination oil pump, the engine, and an oil cooler. The combinationoil pump consists of a pressure pump, a scavenger pump for the crank-case, and a separate scavenger pump for the rocket boxes. The twoscavenger pumps are connected together on the outlet sides of the gearcompartments. A single outlet from the crankcase scavenger pump housing serves as the outlet for both scavenger pumps. See figure 28 for thevarious parts of the oil pump assembly.

    (d) O il from the supply tank goes to the pressure pump which forcesthe oil through the Cuno oil filter into a cored passage in the accessorycase. Part of the oil is bypassed by the spring loaded pressure reliefvalve into a second cored passage which is connected to the oil returnline. This excess oil then goes through the oil cooler and back to themain supply tank. The cartridge type filters are connected to the pressure side of the scavenger gears of the oil pump. The oil moves slowlythrough this type of filter, leaving the small particles of dirt or carbonin the filter cartridges. This filtered oil returns directly to the oil tank.

    (e) The oil which lubricates the moving parts of the engine isforced by the pressure pump from the cored passage through a drilledoil line to a circular groove located in the accessory case. This grooveis located immediately behind the starter jaw bushing. Oil passages aredrilled in the accessory case from this circular groove to the intermediategear, the idler gear, and the governor mounting pad.

    (f) The starter jaw bushing is drilled to connect the circular groovein the accessory case with a groove in the starter jaw. Through this paththe oil is forced to the center of the crankshaft which is drilled to serveas a gallery line to supply oil to the master rod bearing, the knuckle pinbushings, and the valve cam. Pressure-forced oil from the crankshaftlubricates the valve cam and fuel cam gear. The gear train is lubricatedby the oil from the starter jaw, intermediate gear, and idler gear bushings, which also receive pressure lubrication.

    (g) The oil which lubricates the parts in the crankcase and accessory case is splashed by the rotating parts to lubricate the piston pins.A s the oil falls to the bottom of the case it passes into the oil sump,from which it is pumped by the main scavenger pump. The oil isreturned through the joint return line to the cooler and oil supply tank.

    (h) Push rods, tappets, and rockers are lubricated by oil that passesfrom the crankshaft through the drilled passage in the front crankcasesection to a circular groove machined in the front center sectionof the crankcase. Holes are drilled in the front crankcase section to connect the circular groove with holes drilled in each of the tappet guides.During the operation of the engine a hole in the tappet body comes incontact with the hole in the tappet guide to meter the shot of oil goinginto the hollow tappet body. Part of this oil lubricates the tappet bodyin the tappet guide. Another part of the oil passes by the check ball inthe tappet end of the push rod to lubricate the push rod ends before

The oilwhich collects in the rocker boxes drains through a system of intercyl-inder drain tubes to the rocker box covers of No. 5 and No. 6 cylinders.The oil is then pumped through the rocker box scavenger oil pump intothe joint return line, which directs the oil into the oil cooler and to theoil supply tank. The oil is then ready to repeat the cycles previouslydescribed.

    (i) Lubrication for the valve cam intermediate gear is supplied bypressure oil through drilled passages in the front center section of thecrankcase connecting the machined groove with the gear mountingspindle.

    (j) A breather line from the right-hand breather opening (fromstarter end) is connected to the top of the oil supply tank through inletconnections in the oil tank. This line acts as a pressure stabilizing linebetween the air space in the oil tank and the crankcase. NOTE: It isrecommended that an atmospheric breather should be connected to theinspection plate opening in the accessory case.3. FUEL SY STEM.

    a. Fuel Supply Pump. Fuel from the tanks is drawn through acombination cloth and disk filter by the fuel supply pump. The fuelsupply pump is mounted on the accessory case. The fuel supply pumpgear, on the inside of the accessory case, is driven by the idler gearwhich meshes with the gear on the starter shaft. The fuel supply pumphas a built-in safety bypass valve to protect the pump in case the flowof fuel should become restricted on the outlet side of the pump.

    b. Fuel Oil Paths (fig. 10).(1) 'Fuel enters the fuel channel of the engine through a one-waycheck-valve located at the bottom of the rear mounting section of thecrankcase. This check-valve allows fuel to enter the fuel channel butthe check prevents it from draining back out again.(2) From the check-valve the fuel goes to the fuel channel, whichis a drilled passage in the rear mounting section of the crankcase con

    necting the injection pump mounting holes. Fuel is supplied throughthis channel to each of the fuel injection pumps and passes from thepumps through the injector and into the combustion chamber.

    c. Fuel Pressure Regulator (fig. 11).(1) The pressure by which the fuel is forced through the channelto the injection pumps is controlled by a fuel pressure regulator locatedat the top of the engine between No. 1 and No. 2 fuel injection pumps.(2) This regulator has a spring-operated valve which restricts thefuel passage until sufficient pressure is built up to overcome the springpressure. Adjustment is made by removing the cap, loosening the lock

    d. Fuel Injection Pump (f igs. 1 2 and 13).(1) The fuel must be injected into the combustion chamber under

    extremely hig h pressure to overcome the resistance of the highly compre ssed air . This pressure is built up by a fuel injection pump at e,achcylinder, which also controls the quantity of fu el injected. The injectionpumps are connected to the injectors by a heavy wall, high pressuretubing.

    (2) The plunger of the injection pump rides on a lever on the fuelcontrol plate assembly (fig. 13). The le ver in turn operates on the fuelcam ring, moving up and dow n over the cams on the fuel cam ring.This moves the injectionpump plunger up and down. Operation of thethrottle shifts the position of the levers, changin g the contact point ofthe plunger to a higher or low er position on the lever. This changes thelength of the plunger stroke, and regulates the amount of fuel injectedon each stroke.

    (3) When the plunger is at the downward end of the stroke, fuelenters the pump through the inlet port above the plunger. A one-waycheck-valve allows fuel to flow through but prevents it from droppingback.

    (4) A s the plunger moves upward, the fuel is trapped above it ,creating hydraulic pressure. A s the plunger continues to rise, the pressure builds up until the injector releases the fuel into the combustionchamber.

    (5) The quantity of fuel which can be trapped above the plungerdepends upon the amount of fuel which is allowed to pass through theinlet port, which in turn depends upon the throttle position governingthe bottom position of the plunger stroke.(6) This is shown in figure 1 3 . A s the throttle lever is moved fromthe shut-.off position to the wide-open position, the fuel control lever

    moves from the position in illustration 2 to theposition in illustration 1 .A s this is done, the low position of the plunger moves down as seen bycomparing the left-hand positionof the plunger marked "L ow " in illustration 1 and illustration 2 . This low position creates an opening of theintake port, with the plunger below port opening. By adjusting thethrottle, the length of the plunger stroke and the size of the intake portopening can be adjusted to any desired position betw een the shut-offand wide-open positions. Illustration 3 shows the maximum opening ofthe inlet port with a wide-open throttle. A s the plunger reaches theposition shown in illustration 4 the fuel is trapped above the plunger.The only means of escape fo r this fuel is through the injector and intothe cylinder until the plunger reaches the position shown in illustration 5 .At this position fuel comes through the drilled hole in the center of theplunger to the cutaway diameter and from there out into the fuel channel. After injection is thus completed, the fuel pumpplunger continuestorise to the position ofillustration 6.

    e. The Fuel Injector (fig. 14). The fuel injector injects the chargeof fuel from the injection pump into the combustion chamber of thecylinder. The valve is held against its seat in the nozzle body by theinjector stem which is actuated by a spring. When the fuel pressurefrom the injection pump overcomes the force of the spring, the valvemoves back out of its seat in the nozzle body. Fuel is forced throughthe nozzle bodyand is injected into the combustion chamber. After thefu el is injected, the fuel pressure drops until the spring again fo rces thevalve back against its seat in the nozzle body, stopping the injection.Any excess fuel remaining in the injectorafter the injection is returnedto the fuel tank through the fuel return ring.4.

    a. Shell Does Not Fire. After four attempts have been made andthe sh ell will not fire, wait five minutes before removing the cartridgefrom the breech. Then inspect the hole in the cartridge base and thecontact pin in the breech housing for foreign matter. Check the starterwiring in the tank to make sure that it is in order, and that there are noloose connections.

    b. Shell Fires but Engine Does Not Turn. Check engine to see ifit will turn over properly by hand, then make all other checks followaccordingly.(1) SA F E T Y D IS K . If the safety disk is blow n, replace it .(2) CA R TRIDGE . Check identification mark to make sure it is theproper cartridge.(3) B REECH ASSEM BLY . The gases may be leaking through theassembly because of worn parts. If such is the case , replace the breechassembly.(4) S T A R T E R . If the above checks aremade and the engine does notturn over, replace the starter.c. Shells Do Not Fire Properly. Sometimes shells "fizzle" insteadof firing. This is usually due to defectiv e shells. After such an occurrence, the cap at the back of the starter should be removed and theunburned powder removed from the combustion chamber to preventdamage to the starter.d. Blown Safety Disk. A blow n safety disk is indicated by a loudreport w hen the 'shell is fired and the engine does not turn over. Replacethe safety disk in the starter. B e sure the asbestos side of the safetydisk is on the inside. If the disk continues to blow out, examine thesafety disk shear ring fornicks. Replaceif such is thecase.e. Starter Failure. If necessary to remove the starter, use as/ -inchwrench to remove the nuts, lock w ashers, and flat washers which holdthe rods of thestarter support to the engine mounting beam. Loosen theclamping rings of the support around the starter and generator, usinga 7/16-inch wrench. Remove the palnuts, nuts, and washers from thestarter mounting flange, using a 9/16-inch w rench, and pull the starterand support off the accessory case.

    GUIBERSON DIESEL T1400 ENGINE, SERIES 38. FUEL SYSTEM TROUBLE.

    a. Engine Turns But Does Not Start. If, after two or three shellshave been fired and the engine has turned but has not started, the following may be the trouble:

    (1) Determine if proper cartridge is being used bynoting the identificationon the cartridgebase.(2) Inspect the fuel lines for clogging, first between the fuel tanksand the primary filter, then between the primary filter and the fuelpump.(3) Check fuel supplyin fuel tanks.(4) Disconnect the fuel supply pump discharge line. Remove thefuel supply pump and turn the drive shaft of the pump by hand,

    counterclockwise when facing the drive shaft. If fuel flows from thedischarge passage, the supply pump is operative. If fuel does not flow,install a new pump.(5) Check fuel tank shut-off valves to be sure that they are open.(6) Check for leaks in fuel lines or in fuel line connections.(7) Disconnect the fuel line between the fuel tank and the fuel filterat the fuel filter end. If fuel flows from the line, replace the fuel filterand reconnect the line. If fuel does not flow, disconnect the line at thetank end. If fuel does not flow from the tank, drain and replace thetank. If the fuel flows from the tank, blow out the line with compressedair and reconnect it.b. Faulty Fuel Injectors.(1) A faulty fuel injector may be indicated by a missing cylinder,

    loss of power, or fuel knock. In such cases the injectors should be removed and tested. If defective, new injectors should be installed.(2) To remove fuel injectors, unscrew the injectors and fuel returnline nuts from the injector nipples, using a ^4-inch open-end wrench onthe injector line nut anda ^4-inch open-end wrench on the fuel return linenut. Loosen and unscrew the nutson the fuel pump and the fuel returnring so that the lines can be removed from the injectornipples withoutbending them. Remove the two palnuts, nuts and washers from eachinjector, using a ^4-inch wrench. Be sure the injectors are numbered toindicate to which cylinder the injector belongs. CAUTION: To preventdirt and foreign material fromentering, cover the openings with push-oncaps as soon as the injection lines have been removed.(3) Thoroughly clean the injectors of any dirt or grit, and placethem inlightweight oil toprevent possibility of corrosion.(4) S ee paragraph 78 for the disassembly ofinjectors.(5) S ee paragraph 77 for testing of injectors.c. Faulty Injection Pumps.(1) A faulty fuel injection pump may be indicated by a missingcylinder, loss of power, or fuel knock. In such cases, the pumps shouldbe removed and inspected. If defective, new pumps should be installed.

    (2) To remove injection pump, disconnect the injection line by unfastening the nuts which hold the line to the injector and to the injectorpump, using a 54-inch wrench. Be sure each pump is numbered toindicate the cylinder to which it belongs. Remove the palnuts, nutsand washers on each side of the injection pump, using a %-inch wrench.Thread the fuel pump adapter of the valve guide and fuel pump pullerGU-GST-1365 over the nipple of the injection pump. Remove the injection pump by operating the hammer of the puller.

    (3) Clean the injection pump of dirt or foreign matter and placeit in a bucket of lightweight oil to prevent corrosion.(4) See paragraph 79 for the disassembly of the injection pump.d. Too Much or Too Little Fuel Pressure. Fuel pressure should

    be set at six pounds per square inch. Fuel pressure is adjusted by loosening the lock nut on the fuel pressure regulator and turning the adjustingscrew in or out.

    (1) Turn the adjusting screw in to increase pressure.(2) Turn the adjusting screw out to decrease pressure.(3) Tighten the lock nut.e. Incorrect Throttle Adjustment.(1) Before making any adjustments of the throttle, be sure thatthe throttle shaft lever does not bind against the accessory case. There

    should be 0.020-inch clearance beween the lever and bushing withthrottle shaft pushed all the way in . If the throttle shaft lever binds,loosen the clamp bolt and throttle shaft nut, and adjust to give properclearance.

    (2) With the throttle pressed to the floor, and the throttle shaftlever down in wide-open position, there should be 1/16-inch to %-inchclearance between the clevis pin and the end of the throttle shaft leveropening. Adjustment is made by turning the nut below the throttletie-rod clevis.

    (3) Spring pressure should be sufficient to overcome friction in thelinkage. Adjustment is made by turning the nut on top of the spring.

    . (4) Set idle adjustment to 800 revolutions per minute with theengine thoroughly warm.

    (5) There is no adjustment necessary on the decompression rodand cable.

    f. Incorrect Governor Setting.(1) The governor control shaft should have approximately 54-inchof free travel before it affects the throttle.(2) If the engine will .iot reach its speed at 2,325 revolutions perminute with no load, use a screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw inthe rear of the governor until engine reaches desired speed.

    Remove the five palnuts, nuts and washers from the governor mountingflange, using a %-inch wrench. Pull the governor off the mounting studs.(4) See paragraph 171 for governor disassembly.

    9. LUBRICATION SYSTEM TROUBLE.a. Oil Pressure Drops Suddenly. CAUTION: Stop engine immediately. Check oil level in tank. Check for dirt lodged under oil check inoil pressure relief valve. Check oi l line connections. Test oil pump.b. Incorrect Oil Pressure. NOTE: The minimum oil pressureshould be not less than 70 pounds per square inch with 16 0 F oil at800 revolutions per minute, and a maximum of 95 pounds per squareinch at 2,325 revolutions per minute (no load). The operating pressureat 2,000 revolutions per minute should be approximately 85 pounds persquare inch.(1) To adjust the oil pressure, remove the dome from the oil pressure relief valve, using a %-inch wrench. Loosen the lock nut and use a

    screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw in or out.(a) Turn the adjusting screw in to increase oil pressure.(b) Turn the adjusting screw out to decrease oil pressure.(c) Tighten the lock nut.(2) Low oil pressure may be due to defective accessory case or

    master rod bushing in the case of an engine that has seen considerableservice.1 0 . CARDINAL OPERATING RULES.

    a. Turn the Engine Four Revolutions or More on DecompressionBefore Starting. WARNING: Do not operate the starter when theengine is on decompression.

    (1) If the engine has been stopped, observe the following: Set theengine on decompression by pulling the decompression handle forward.Turn the engine four revolutions or more. Set the throttle in the startingposition. Release the decompression by pushing on the decompressionhandle.

    (2) Do not have the engine on decompression when the engine isturning at operating speeds.

    b. Allow Engine to Warm U p Gradually. It is very important thatall parts of the engine be allowed to maintain a temperature equilibrium.The pistons and cylinders especially must be allowed' to warm upgradually. The warm-up periods given in the following tables shouldbe observed.

    Above 30 FOperate engine at 1,000 rpm for 2 minutes,

    at 1,200 rpm for 2 minutes,at 1,400 rpm for 2 minutes.Below 30 F

    Operate engine at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes,at 1,200 rpm for 5 minutes,at 1,400 rpm for 5 minutes.

    c. Operate Engine Between 1,400 and 2,000 Revolutions PerMinute After Warm-up. Avoid continued low engine speed operationby shifting gears to maintain an engine speed above 1,400 revolutionsper minute. The maximum speed of the engine under load should notexceed 2,200 revolutions per minute. For long continued operation it isrecommended that the engine speed be less than 2,000 revolutions perminute.

    d. Regulate Oil Temperature Within Recommended Range. Theoil temperature should be maintained close to the mid-values of thetemperatures given below:Oil Inlet Temperature During Operation

    ra liSATOBE MINIMUM M AXIM UM SAEBelow 32 F 100 F 18 0 F 30Above 32 F 100 F 18 0 F 50

    e. Avoid SuddenStopping. Cool Engine Gradually.(1) If a hot engine is suddenly stopped, the rate of cooling of thevarious parts of the engine is quite different from the rate of cooling

    with the oil and air in circulation.(2) The engine should be allowed to cool as follows: It should beidled, with the tank out of gear, at 1,200 revolutions per minute for fourminutes and then at 1,000 revolutions per minute for two minutes.f. Use Clean Fuel of the Correct Specifications. Fuel oil of theproper specifications should be used. It is very important that the fuelbe kept as free fromwater and dirt as possible. Those handling the fuelshould make every effort possible to keep the fuel clean. A final stagefilter should be used between the fuel supply pump and the check valve

    to the engine.g. Keep All Connections Tight. Difficulty from leaking lines orconnections should be prevented by frequent regular inspection.h. Check the Injection NozzlesPeriodically.(1) The injection nozzles should be maintained in good conditionto obtain the properpower and balance of the engine.(2) The injectors should be set for 2,600 to 2,650 pounds pressureper square inchon an injector testunit.
