Section I - General Information
CONTINENTAL DIESEL ENGINE
Continental Diesel Engines are Comet V combustion
chamber indirect injection diesel
engines.
The combustion chamber design has been
tailored for the required turbulence, charge flow
and burning characteristics to provide dependable
and economical heavy duty service.
Some of the principal
design features are:
1. Individual Porting- of the intake manifold
whereby each cylinder is fed with the air charge
individually and is not influenced by other
cylinders of the engine.
This is accomplished by casting the cylinder
head with individual intake valve passages for
each cylinder and connecting these passages to
an intake manifold which also has individualized
passages for each cylinder.
[. Water Jackets -- completely surround all
ylinder bores to a depth sufficient to cover the
hot piston ring travel, resulting in minimum bore
distortion for good oil control yet maintaining low
heat rejection to the coolant.

Diesel Engines have been tailored for heavy duty
operation for use with #1 or #2 diesel fuel that
meet a minimum cetane number of 45 (see fuel
recommendations, page 29).
