Iveco Engine Build Markings

This morning I was having a chat with Andy (one of our engineers) about an Iveco engine build he’s about to complete.

Andy’s been with us for over 20 years, and with nearly 40 years experience, what he doesn’t know about diesel engines isn’t really worth knowing – I’m sure he’s got the fuel running through his veins!

I had a quick look at the crankcase with him, and as usual, he’d done something that he always does and I wondered whether anyone else does the same?

It may be difficult to see from this photograph, but there are four bits of key information which can be seen from his markings:

1) The bolts have been torqued to the OEM specification.
2) The backlash for the gears has been recorded and marked.
3) The end float has been recorded and marked.
4) The timing for the gears is marked.

This is a great example of technical competence, whilst using visuals to show what’s been completed and one we get our other engineers to follow.

If you’re ever carrying out any major engine work, or your engine is being overhauled, make sure you know this critical data, or your service company can give it to you for peace of mind.
