article on the new four-cylinder diesel engine
Hello everyone especially all you GLK 250 owners. I stumbled across the following article that discusses some of the particulars on this highly engineered TwinTurbo in-line four-cylinder diesel engine. Explains the modular manufacturing that is cutting-edge very large investment for Mercedes-Benz as it seems that they're going to be installing this engine into a number of different Mercedes-Benz models. I like to find out more about the construction of this engine. They say the fuel train is a fourth generation version that sends delivery and pressure diesel to the injectors which of themselves have been redesigned. Furthermore they show the crank case to be made of cast-iron. The reason for this choice I believe is the pressure capabilities of the cast-iron material. Further discuss the engine cylinder head's been manufactured in just-in-time but no mention of the alloy use for the cylinder heads. I have also seen some discussion regarding the hardened steel use for the Pistons themselves. From what I understand the reason behind this is to use the thermal expansion of the two dissimilar materials to reduce friction. My problem is I haven't seen anything really definitive about this Engine imprint anyways here's some good reading on something that I just recently found band I thought I should post if anyone has any further information on this engine please posted good luck to all thanks
