 Optimizing ACERT Technology Piston Technology C7 -C18 (except C9)

• Increase Compression • Monotherm/steel piston

ration to 16.5 to 18:1 – Forged Steel Design
Ø Improves cold start – High strength
characteristics – Light weight
– Tighter tolerance
Ø Improves white smoke
– Narrower rings conform to liner
clean up time
Ø Better oil control
Ø Optimizes ACERT Ø Reduced blow -by
performance Ø Less liner wear

Hardened plateau honed liner Noise Reduction Technologies

Two Step Honing Process: • Isolated covers

- Cuts deep grooves for oil retention • Multiple injection strategy
- Smoothes the tops off to reduce wear Smooth Surface
and better contact • Insulated timing case cover
• Sculpted crankcase
• Gear Train refinements
Deep Cuts
ØReduces blow by
ØImproves oil control and consumption

Maintenance Information High Efficiency Oil Filters

• Maintain 250 hour for now but develop 500 • Revolutionary filter
hour oil change solution design
• Same oil specifications as Tier 2/Stage II ØIncreased
contamination control
– CH-4 Oil recommendation
ØDouble the efficiency
• Maintain durability of Tier 2 / Stage II without increasing the
changing interval
ØReduces wear on all
oil lubricated surfaces
