To ensure accuracy, computerized checks
of every 5th camshaft are done.
Connecting rods are inspected
to make sure they meet
specifications. The bearing bore
is studied for taper, bore size
and roundness. Then, weight is
checked at the big and small end of the connecting rod and sets are weight-matched.
Finish-honing is done by a
computer-controlled
cylinder hone using
diamond stones; the final
step is plateau honing.
To ensure accuracy of compression ratios of the
sealed crate engines (M-6007-D347/M-6007-Z351S),
combustion chamber volumes are checked and
corrected, if necessary, to achieve proper specifications.
Every piston gets measured
and weighed before they
are put together in matched
sets using strict tolerances.
After engines are completely assembled,
they are hot-tested (except M6007-XE3M/
M-6007-XB3M) to check oil pressure and
detect water leaks. The completed
engines are run for approximately
20 minutes during this process.
