Ready for Production. 3.6L, 4-Cycle, Vertical In-Line Cylinders, Advanced Design Direct- Injected Diesel Engines . Complete engine design including drawings, wood patterns, and off tooling engine components. The engine was designed to compete with the top of the line Japanese and European diesels in both a power to weight ratio and fuel efficiency perspective. Yet the design is elegant in its simplicity to allow for manufacturing all areas of the world. All components were designed with an eye toward conserving weight, yet can be manufactured without specialized processes. For instance, the block is designed as a thin walled casting for weight savings but doesn�t required specialized casting processes or materials to achieve the required properties. The same goes for the other critical components such as the piston, rods, crank shaft, etc.. The engine is currently designed as a modern, direct inject engine with a mechanical pump and injectors, however the design could be easily converted to a common rail, high pressure electronically injected system offered on today�s premium diesels engines, by changing over to a Duramax style pump. The modular design allows for a family of products to be offered through late stage customization. It is relatively simple to offer a range of engines from naturally aspirated mechanically injected engine 94 Hp engine to a turbocharged, intercooled, electronically controlled high-pressure common rail 150 Hp engine. The base engine requires no changes while the unique model specifications are achieved by changing which fuel, intake and exhaust system are bolted on late in the production process. For a company to introduce a new family of engines the one-time R&D investment which can easily run into the millions of dollars and take 3-5 years of development. For a company looking to enter a new market this work is already done which results in a tremendous resource savings of both time and money. AED also designed and supplied the machining equipment to the manufacturer of the engine and will provide the manufacturing scheme as part of the document package. Durability: Approximately 750-hours of dyno test and development time at high power outputs plus over 8000-km truck road testing in China. No major problems of defects found. Additional dyno and road testing is needed prior to full production. Assets included in package: Complete drawings including some assembly. Two complete sets of detailed component drawings (metric); one set in English, one in Chinese. A set of assembly drawings in Chinese. Cores and patterns for sand casting the cylinder head and block, crankshaft, camshaft, and main bearing caps. These are of wood construction; good for several hundred to more than a thousand additional parts dependent on care and refurbishment of surfaces. These cores and patterns can be used in foundries to produce components for manufacturing trials, engine test and development, and initial production. Production prototype engines: there are two assembled engines; machined and purchased components; and non-machined crankshaft castings. These components could be used in combination with Chinese sourced components to build a number of additional test and development models of all three configurations. The assets of this 3.6L, 4-cylinder engine can be used as a base for a new engine at an outstanding value. As the majority of the engineering and testing have already been done, this will save millions of dollars over starting the whole R&D process from scratch. 1. The engine design is solid and very easy to quality manufacture. 2. This engine has a modular construction, making it easy to upgrade for new components e.g., turbocharger, common rail injectors (Bosch).
