GENERAL

The V8 supercharged petrol engine is a 4.2 liter, 8 cylinder, 90 degrees 'Enclosed' V unit, with 4 valves per cylinder, operated by two overhead camshafts per cylinder head. The engine emissions comply with ECD3 (European Commission Directive) and US Federal Tier2 Bin 8 legislative requirements and employs catalytic converters, electronic engine management control and positive crankcase ventilation to limit the emission of pollutants. The cooling system is a low volume, high velocity system. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the fuel injection system, the ignition system and the electric throttle.

The cylinder block is of aluminum alloy construction with cast iron liners. A cast aluminum bedplate is bolted to the bottom of the block to improve lower structure rigidity. The cylinder heads are cast aluminum with thermo-plastic camshaft covers. The single-piece oil sump is also cast aluminum. The fabricated stainless steel twin skin exhaust manifolds are unique for each cylinder bank. A molded plastic acoustic cover is fitted over the upper engine to reduce engine-generated noise.

ENGINE DATA

Scheme 5

Cylinder Block

The cylinder block is an 'Enclosed V' design, which provides an inherently rigid structure with good vibration levels. A low volume coolant jacket improves warm-up times and piston noise levels; the longitudinal flow design of the jacket, with a single cylinder head coolant transfer port in each bank, improves rigidity and head gasket sealing. The right hand cylinder bank is designated as 'A' bank, and the left hand as 'B' bank.

Scheme 6

Jets located in the cylinder block provide piston and gudgeon pin lubrication and cooling. These jets spray oil on the underside of the piston.

Lubrication oil is distributed through the cylinder block, via the main oil gallery and channels bored in the block, to all critical moving parts. These channels divert oil to the main and big-end bearings via holes machined into the crankshaft.

Scheme 7

Engine data is marked at three locations, two on the cylinder block (shown) and one on the engine front cover, which consists a label displaying the engine number. Component diameters are represented by alphabetical and numerical codes; keys to the codes are in the Service Repair Procedures (SRP) Manual.

Scheme 8

The connecting rods are manufactured from sinter-forged steel and have fracture-split bearing caps. The bearing caps are produced by fracturing the opposing sides of the connecting rod at the bearing horizontal center line. As well as being easier to manufacture, when reassembled the fractured surfaces interlock to form a strong seamless joint. The cylinder position is marked on adjoining sides of the joint to identify matching connecting rods and bearing caps. The connecting rod bearings are aluminum/tin split plain bearings.

The pistons are of the open-ended skirt design with a dished crown. They are also manufactured from a higher strength aluminum alloy and incorporate a thicker top land to resist the increased thermal and mechanical loads produced by supercharging. Three piston rings, two compression and one solid oil control ring, are installed on each piston. Each piston is installed on a gudgeon pin located in an bronze bushing in the connecting rod.

Scheme 9

The piston grade number is stamped on the crown of the piston and must coincide with that for each cylinder bore. The piston must be assembled in the correct orientation for the designated cylinder bore

1. Bank 'A' - piston grade number and the thick flange of the connecting rod must face the front of the engine
2. Bank 'B' - piston grade number and the thin flange of the connecting rod must face the front of the engine

Scheme 10

The CKP sensor is installed at the rear of the sump. It is a variable reluctance sensor that provides an input of engine crankshaft speed and position.

For additional information, refer to: Electronic Engine Controls . .

Scheme 11

The knock sensors are installed in the cylinder block on the inboard side of each cylinder bank. They are piezo-electric sensors that provide inputs to detect and locate detonation during combustion.

For additional information, refer to: Electronic Engine Controls .

Scheme 12

The engine starter motor is installed at the rear right side of the engine, at the cylinder block to bedplate split line.

For additional information, refer to: Starting System .

Coolant Drain Plug/Heater

A coolant drain plug is installed on the rear left side of the cylinder block. On vehicles with the cold climate package, the cylinder block heater replaces the drain plug.

On vehicles destined for Canada, the coolant heater is installed during engine manufacture, but for Scandinavian vehicles the heater is supplied in kit form to be installed at the dealership.

Scheme 13

The coolant pump is installed between the two cylinder banks, on the front face of the cylinder block.

Scheme 14

To accommodate the installation of the supercharger, the thermostat housing and coolant outlet duct are combined into an aluminum alloy coolant outlet assembly, which is installed between the two cylinder banks, immediately above the coolant pump. A hose connects the coolant outlet assembly to a coolant inlet housing attached to the coolant pump intake on the cylinder block. The thermostat controls the flow of coolant through the radiator.

Scheme 15

Scheme 16

Six counter-balance weights ensure good vibration levels from the four throw, five bearing crankshaft. Manufactured in cast iron, the crankshaft also has undercut and rolled fillets for improved strength.

The crankshaft rear oil seal is a press fit in the bedplate to cylinder block interface.

The main bearings are aluminum/tin split plain bearings. An oil groove in the upper half of each bearing transfers the oil into the crankshaft for lubrication of the connecting rod bearings. An aluminum/tin thrust washer is installed each side of the top half of the center main bearing.

Scheme 17

The bedplate is a structural casting bolted to the bottom of the cylinder block to retain the crankshaft. The use of a bedplate further improves rigidity. Iron inserts, cast into the main bearing supports of the bedplate, minimize main bearing clearance changes due to heat expansion.

Two hollow dowels align the bedplate with the cylinder block.

Beads of sealant seal the joint between the bedplate and the cylinder block.

Scheme 18

The aluminum alloy structural sump is bolted to the bedplate. A windage tray attached to the underside of the bedplate isolates the oil pan from the disturbed air produced by the rotation of the crankshaft, to prevent oil aeration and improve oil drainage. A rubber plug at the rear of the structural sump seals the port that provides access to the torque converter securing bolts. The engine oil drain plug is located at the front right corner of the oil pan.

A bead of sealant seals the joint between the structural sump and the bedplate.

Scheme 19

The oil pump is installed on the crankshaft at the front of the engine. The pump outlet port aligns with oil passages in the bedplate.

Scheme 20

The starter drive plate is attached to the rear of the crankshaft. A timing disc, for the engine speed sensor, is spot welded to the front face of the drive plate.

Scheme 21

Scheme 22

Note. Vehicles fitted with Variable valve timing.

Scheme 23

Timing Gear

Multiple link primary and single row secondary chains drive the camshafts of each cylinder bank. The primary chains transmit drive from two sprockets on the crankshaft to each intake camshaft sprocket. The secondary chains transmit drive from the intake camshaft sprockets to the exhaust camshafts.

A key locates the two drive sprockets on the crankshaft. The crankshaft's torsional vibration damper retains the sprockets in position. The intake and exhaust camshaft sprockets are non-interference, non-keyed fit on their respective camshafts; the drive being transmitted by the face-to-face friction load produced by the sprocket-securing bolt.

Each chain has a hydraulic tensioner operated by engine oil. The primary chains are lubricated via oil squirt tubes located at the front of the engine block, near the crankshaft drive sprockets. A jet of oil from the end of each secondary chain tensioner lubricates the secondary chains. The primary chain tensioners act on pivoting flexible tensioner blades. The secondary chain tensioners act directly on the chains. Guide rails are installed on the drive side of the primary chains.

In certain markets some engines are equipped with VVT timing gear.

For additional information, refer to: ENGINE .

Scheme 24

The aluminum alloy timing cover accommodates the crankshaft front oil seal (a PTFE lip seal). Silicon rubber in-groove gaskets seal the joint between the timing cover and the front face of the engine.

Scheme 25

Cylinder Heads

The cylinder heads are unique to each cylinder bank. Deep-seated bolts, to reduce distortion, secure the cylinder heads to the cylinder block. Two hollow dowels align each cylinder head with the cylinder block.

The 14 mm spark plugs, one per cylinder, locate in recesses down the center line of each cylinder head.

The engine-lifting eyes are bolted to the cylinder heads; two on the rear (one per head) and one at the front.

Scheme 26

Note. Vehicles fitted with Variable Valve Timing (VVT).

Scheme 27

The camshaft covers are manufactured from thermo-plastic. The A bank camshaft cover incorporates an outlet for the part load engine breather and the Pressure Control Valve (PCV). The B bank camshaft cover incorporates an outlet for the full load engine breather and the engine oil filler cap. Identical oil separators are incorporated below the breather outlet in each cover.

For additional information, refer to: Electronic Engine Controls .

Silicon rubber in-groove gaskets seal the joints between the camshaft covers and the cylinder heads. Together with spacers and seals on the camshaft cover fasteners, they also isolate the covers from direct contact with the cylinder heads, to reduce noise.

Cylinder Head Gasket

The multi-layered steel cylinder head gasket has cylinder specific water flow cross-sections for uniform coolant flow.

Scheme 28

The camshafts are manufactured in chilled cast iron. Five aluminum alloy caps retain each camshaft. Location numbers, 0 to 4 for the intake camshaft and 5 to 9 for the exhaust camshaft, are marked on the outer faces of the caps.

Sensor Ring

Timing rings for each camshaft position sensor are located at the rear of both intake camshafts. A flat, machined near the front of each camshaft, enables the camshafts to be locked during the valve timing procedure.

Scheme 29

The camshaft position sensors are installed in each cylinder head at the rear of the intake camshaft. It is a variable reluctance sensor that provides an input to the ECM regarding the position of the camshaft.

For additional information, refer to: Electronic Engine Controls .

Inlet and Exhaust Valves

Each cylinder head incorporates dual overhead camshafts operating four valves per cylinder via solid shimless valve lifters.

The lightweight valve gear provides good fuel economy and noise levels. Valve head diameters are 31mm (1.220 in) for the exhaust and 35mm (1.378 in) for the intake. All valves have 5mm (0.197 in) diameter stems supported in sintered metal seats and guide inserts. Collets, valve collars and spring seats locate single valve springs on both intake and exhaust valves. Valve stem seals are integrated into the spring seats.

Scheme 30

The supercharger is a compressor used to pump an air into the cylinders. This increases the concentration of oxygen and fuel in the charge to create a more powerful combustion inside the cylinder. This increases cylinder pressure upon ignition and creates more power.

As the supercharger compresses the air its temperature increases. This raise in air temperature reduces the potential for power gains. By installing intercoolers the air is cooled to overcome this.

The supercharger is an Eaton M112 unit attached to the three mounting bosses between the 'V' of the cylinder block. Positive alignment with the drive belt is provided by a doweled mounting bracket. An eight-ribbed belt drives the supercharger, via the crankshaft, at 2.1 engine speed. The maximum pressure increase is approximately 0.8 bar.

On the 4.2L V8 supercharged engine the intake manifold is replaced by

1. A supercharger.
2. Two intercoolers.
3. An outlet duct.
4. A bypass valve.
5. A bypass valve actuator.
6. Two intercooler adapters.
7. Fuel rails.

The supercharger has a sealed-for-life internal lubrication system.

Scheme 31

Each of the two intercoolers is a fin and tube air-to-liquid heat exchanger. Two rubber ducts, secured by clamp plates, provide the interfaces between the outlet duct and the intercoolers. After passing through the heat exchanger core, the air flows into individual outlets to the cylinders. At the rear of the B bank intercooler there is a mounting boss for an air intake temperature sensor.

Scheme 32

The outlet duct directs air from the supercharger into the two intercoolers. A filler point for the intercooler coolant system is integrated into the front and right side of the outlet duct. This connection is not used on Land Rover vehicles. A vacuum take-off for the fuel pressure regulator/cruise control system is located on the right side of the outlet duct. Isolating bolts, to reduce noise, secure the outlet duct to the supercharger and a rubber gasket seals the supercharger to the outlet duct interface.

Bypass Valve

The bypass valve attaches to an opening in the induction elbow and controls a bypass flow from the intercoolers back to the inlet side of the supercharger. At closed or partially open throttle settings (i.e. idle and most cruise conditions), the bypass valve is fully open to provide maximum bypass and optimum fuel economy. As the throttle opens, the bypass valve progressively closes to reduce the bypass flow and increase the pressure of air supplied to the engine for optimum power output.

Scheme 33

Bypass Valve Actuator

The bypass valve actuator is a diaphragm-operated actuator attached to the valve spindle of the bypass valve. A vacuum pipe connects the actuator to the induction elbow.

Scheme 34

The intercooler adapters provide an interface between the intercoolers and the cylinder heads, and also locate the fuel rails and injectors. One-piece gaskets seal the joints between the intercoolers and the intercooler adapters, and between the intercooler adapters and the cylinder heads.

Scheme 35

The fuel rails are installed on the intercooler adapters. A fuel crossover pipe connects the fuel rails together at the front of the engine.

Scheme 36

Eight, top fed, 12-hole, fuel injectors are installed in the fuel rails and are held in position by spring clips. Two O-rings are installed between the injector mounts of the fuel rails and the related recesses in the intercooler adapters. The injectors are electromagnetic solenoid valves controlled by the ECM. The fuel jets from the injectors are directed onto the back of the intake valves.

For additional information, refer to: Electronic Engine Controls .

Scheme 37

Oil is drawn from the reservoir in the oil pan and pressurized by the oil pump. The output from the oil pump is then filtered, cooled and distributed through internal oil passages.

All moving parts are lubricated by pressure or splash oil. Pressurized oil is also provided for the timing gear chain tensioners and the piston cooling jets.

The oil returns to the oil pan under gravity. Large drain holes through the cylinder heads and cylinder block ensure the quick return of the oil, reducing the volume of oil required and enabling an accurate check of the contents soon after the engine stops.

System replenishment is through the oil filler cap on the 'B' bank camshaft cover.

Scheme 38

The fabricated steel oil pick-up is immersed in the oil reservoir to provide a supply to the oil pump during all normal vehicle attitudes. A mesh screen in the inlet prevents debris from entering the oil system.

Scheme 39

The oil pump is installed on the crankshaft at the front of the engine. The pump outlet port aligns with oil passages in the bedplate.

The pumping element is an eccentric rotor, which is directly driven by flats on the crankshaft. An integral pressure relief valve regulates pump outlet pressure at 4.5 bar (65.25 psi).

Scheme 40

The oil filter is a replaceable cartridge installed on an adapter. An internal bypass facility permits full flow bypass if the filter is blocked.

The oil pressure switch connects a ground input to the instrument cluster when oil pressure is present. The switch operates at a pressure of 0.15 to 0.41 bar (2.2 to 5.9 psi).

Scheme 41

The oil level gage locates along the left side of the oil pan, supported in a tube installed in the sump. Two holes in the end of the gage indicate the minimum and maximum oil levels. There is a difference of approximately 1.5 liters (1.58 US quart) between the two levels.

Scheme 42

The fabricated stainless steel twin skin exhaust manifolds are unique for each cylinder bank.

Spacers on the securing bolts allow the manifolds to expand and retract with changes of temperature while maintaining the clamping loads.

Heat shields are integrated into the exhaust manifold gaskets.
