OM 314 Engine Parts
Cylinder block
Cylinder head
The cylinder head is made of cast iron and is common to all cylinders. The intake manifold and the cylinder head cover are all made of lightweight cast materials.
Crankshaft
The crankshaft is made of one-piece alloy steel by forging method and with very precise machining. The crankshaft of this engine is held in 5 points by three-layer bearings, with steel backs (with a polished bearing in the middle). Also, the crankshaft is balanced by special weights.
Flywheel
The flywheel is a part made by casting method. Due to the presence of numerous teeth on the outer edge of the flywheel and the important function of these teeth in starting the engine, the machining of this part requires high delicacy and precision.
Camshaft
The camshaft is made of one piece by forging and with very precise machining and is maintained by 3 bearings. The camshaft provides its movement through the gear engaged with the crankshaft.
Manifold
The manifold is a piece made by aluminum casting method, which is ready to be connected and assembled on the designated place on the engine through machining in several stages. The design of this part is such that it can be opened and closed on the engine body in the easiest way possible.
Oil pump
Lubrication operation is done by a gear type oil pump that passes all the oil through the filter and feeds the crankshaft, camshaft, connecting rod, bearings and rocking arms. In this way, the injector pump, governor and air pump are connected to the engine lubrication system. In this system, safety valves are responsible for reducing excess pressure.
