What is the clearance on a DT466 diesel engine?
The dial indicator that comes with the adjusting kit is calibrated to the new sensor part number. Shims can be added or removed to get the correct clearance which will be between .025 and .030 inches. To get an accurate reading the drive belt has to be removed then the engine needs to be rotated 2 times to check for any run out.
Where is the cam sensor on a DT466?
The cam sensor is located on the passenger side of the front timing cover and reads engine rotation that relays a reading to the ECM (engine control unit). As I stated before if the cam sensor does not send a signal to the ECM the engine dies since the ECM thinks that the engine is not rotating and it’s programmed to shut down the injection system.
Why does the DT466 electronic diesel engine run rough?
It’s one engine that performed only as good as the oil pressure that supplied the HEUI (hydraulic electronic unit injectors). They had a tendency to run rough when cold because of the lack of supply to the HEUI system which ran on thousands of pounds of oil pressure. If the engine oil pressure is poor the injection system suffers.
Is the DT466 over heating still a problem?
We have a 2001 International 4700 with the Dt466. The cooling sytem has been gone through but it is still having overheating problems. Does anybody know of any fixes or a better radiator design than this 1/2 of a radiator crap.
Is the DT 466 engine viscous or air operated?
I run DT 466 right up 1050-1100 EGT and never had too much of a problem but its also intercooled so that makes big difference Thought of one more thing, does it have a viscous fan drive on it or air operated. If it’s viscous run the engine and get it hot, pop the hood and check and see if the fan is locked up or turns freely.
