The VHP family of engines is the backbone of Waukeshas

product offering. The VHP family has undergone continual

improvements responding to customer needs. With the

introduction of the Series Four engine we strive to improve

the reliability and productivity of our most popular engine

family ever.

The VHP was fully analyzed using the latest engineering

technologies. Significant improvements were made to key com-

ponents to maintain the traditional VHP reliability and efficiency. TheSeries Four offers an increase in BMEP, and that means lower cost horse-

power for you.

The increased power of the Series Four gives you better first cost value

with the simplicity, dependability, and low emissions potential of a rich

burn engine.

By continuing improvement through technological advances and

customer driven requirements, the VHP Series Four will be a source of

powerful customer satisfaction for years to come.

Cylinder HeadWaukesha took a clean sheet approach in developing the cylinder head of the future.

It offers higher strength and improved cooling for more power and greater durability.

Power Cylinder Pistons, rings, and liners have been matched for optimum life and

oil control. New piston designs offer better expansion characteristics

at the crown and greater strength. Large-bore cylinder liners are

made of heat treated bainite cast iron, with greater

strength for less flexing and longer life.

CrankshaftNew material and a new manufacturing

process results in 55% greater strength

to handle more power.

Turbocharger The turbocharger on the Series Four

utilizes a water-cooled center housing for

cooler bearing temperatures resulting in longer life. The turbocharger

has been matched to provide full power up to 8000 ft altitude.

The Series Four

Cylinder Head:

Designed to Keep Its Cool

Waukesha performed a comprehensive study of theVHP cylinder head. Combining the best features of

existing Waukesha products with the latest in design

techniques, this new cylinder head offers higher

strength and improved cooling for more power and

greater durability.

Finite element analysis and solid modeling were use

to create a cylinder head that is 33% stronger, while

maintaining interchangeability with the current head.

Hot spots around critical cylinder head components c

you because heat-related problems such as distortiomisalignment, wear, and stress will reduce compone

life. A state-of-the-art design ensures that flow throug

water passages is continuous, no blockages or stagn

tion. Result: 25% reduction in thermal gradient acros

the fire deck. Water-cooled exhaust valve seats run

30% cooler. Spark plug life has improved by over 50

Other improvements that benefit you

A new valve bridge mechanism provides better val

actuation. Less side loading, less wear.

Valves were rotated 45° to reduce flow losses and toimpart a greater swirl and tumble of the incoming air/f

mixture for more rapid and complete combustion.

Equal length cylinder head bolts and revised

gasketing improves loading and sealing of the

cylinder head, liner, and block.

Flange-mounted ignition coil

improves spark delivery and

eliminates water intrusion.

Maintenance is simplified. Easier

valve adjustment, a reusable roccover o-ring, and no-hassle valve

seat removal make the Series Fo

user-friendly.

Microspin® Lube Oil SystemWaukesha has added the Microspin bypass lube oil filter

to the Series Four engine for unequaled engine oil

filtration. With contaminant removal down to 0.5 microns,

advantages include longer oil life, reduced engine wear,

reduced maintenance costs, and greater engine uptime.

Custom Engine Controls

Standard Custom Engine Control (CEC) Ignition Module provides precise

timing and control for reduced emissions and fuel costs. No wearing partsmeans consistent ignition performance and lower maintenance costs. The

standard CEC Detonation Sensing Module adjusts ignition

timing automatically on an individual cylinder basis.

Detonation sensing optimizes ignition timing with varying load,

speed, fuel, and ambient conditions, while protecting engine

from detonation damage. This results in better exhaust

emissions, fuel economy, and more even engine loading.

PackagingWith the improved cooling of the new cylinder heads, allowable external jacket

water restriction has been increased 150%. Factory mounted Detonation SensingModule and revised junction box mounting allows for less packaging time.

Improved ServicingMounting of the 3524GSI oil cooler now allows full access to the

oil pan doors. Vee engine auxiliary water pipes are now mounted

above the cylinder heads for easier servicing. The new junction

box provides quick connections for easy removal if necessary.
