Crankshaft and Crankshaft Gear
Similar to previous rear gear train
crankshafts
Increase stroke for increased displacement
100 mm machined counterweights
Front crankshaft gear only drives the
lubricating oil pump
Rear gear drives the camshaft gear, engine
accessory drive, and fuel pump
Piston Cooling
Cylinder blocks are not machined
for saddle jet piston cooling
nozzles
Only J-Jet piston cooling nozzles
are used
Camshaft, Tappets, Push
Rods and Camshaft Gear
Sliding Tappets
Cast Iron Camshaft
Camshaft speed indicator ring
mounted to the end of the camshaft
at the front of the engine
Bolted Camshaft Gear
Thrust plate between camshaft gear
mounting flange and the cylinder
block
Camshaft Bushings
Camshaft Bushings may be
installed at both of the outermost
bores of the cylinder block
Engines produced at many
possible factories
All engines will have the
camshaft bushing installed in the
flywheel end bore
No camshaft bushing installed in
other bores (parent bore/block
material)
Piston, Piston Pin and Piston Rings
All ratings will use gallery cooled
pistons
Internal oil gallery in the piston for
circulating oil sprayed by the J-jet
piston cooling nozzle
Piston pin is offset for noise reduction
Piston crown includes an insert for
the upper ring
Piston Rings
1. Upper Ring, keystone cut
2. Middle Ring, square cut and
twisted rectangular ring
3. Oil Control Ring with ring expander
Connecting Rod
Fracture split connecting rod cap design
Common with some ISB, ISBe, and QSB
CM850 engines.
Not backwards compatible with some
connecting rods due to weight differences
Best way to identify is by forging
numbers and physical characteristics of the
rod
Piston and Connecting Rod Assembly
Connecting rod orientation is different
that ISB and ISBe engines due to
increased displacement product
Make sure piston orientation is correct
for offset piston pin
Make sure the orientation of the angled
surface of the connecting rod correct
Cylinder Block
The casting is a skirted design which
incorporates ribs for superior strength and
noise reduction
The cylinder block uses bored cylinders as
opposed to liners. In the event of damage or
wear out, the cylinders may be able to be
repaired.
Unlike previous B series cylinder blocks, the
cylinder block is of a conjoined bore design
Traditional Cylinder Block Design (ISB & B3.9/B5.9)
Represents coolant flow
New Cylinder Block Design
(QSB4.5/6.7, ISBe4, ISB CM2150, ISBe CM2150, & ISDe4.5/6.7)
Main Bearing
Capscrew
The main bearing capscrew
torque value is greater than
torque used on QSB Tier II
(VP30/VP44) and B3.9/5.9
engines.
This limits the number of times
the main bearing capscrew can
be reused
• Each time the main capscrew
bearing is removed, the length
can be measured to determine if
the capscrew is reusable
Block Stiffener Plate
Helps strengthen the cylinder
block
Helps to reduce engine noise
during engine operation.
Vibration Damper
A viscous damper is standard for
ratings of 2200 rpm and above
(rated speed).
No damper is required for the
QSB4.
The vibration damper and
crankshaft speed indicator ring are
a permanent assembly
If either the vibration damper or
crankshaft speed indicator ring are
damaged, the entire assembly
must be replaced.
Front Gear Cover
The front gear cover houses the
lubricating oil pump, front crankshaft seal,
and camshaft speed indicator ring.
The front gear covers also contains the
oil pressure switch, camshaft
speed/position sensor, and crankshaft
speed/position sensor.
Front Crankshaft Seal
The front crankshaft seal is a dual or non-
lip style seal which utilize a built in wear
sleeve and a concealed sealing lip.
Because the rotating portion of the seal
does not contact the crankshaft, wear will
not occur at the crankshaft but instead
internal to the seal.
No wear sleeve or oversize front crankshaft
seal is available.
Rear Crankshaft Seal
QSB CM850 engine uses a double dust
lip-style rear crankshaft seal in which the
rotating portion of the sealing occurs at
the contact surface between the lip of the
seal and the crankshaft.
This is unlike QSB VP30/44 engines that
use a dual or non-lip style seal which
utilize a built in wear sleeve and a
concealed sealing lip
Rear Crankshaft Seal -
Continued
The rear crankshaft seal is installed in
the flywheel housing bore
Each new rear crankshaft seal will come
with 2 disposable seal drivers
• One for Front Gear Train Engine (1)
• One for Rear Gear Train Engine (2)
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
Mounting Plate
The Electronic Control Module
(ECM) mounting plate is air cooled
design
Unlike ISB & ISBe which required fuel to
flow through for cooling purposes
It is a nylon mounting plate, using
rubber vibrations isolators to mount the
Electronic Control Module (ECM) to the
cylinder block.
Air Compressors
Cummins branded Wabco single cylinder 15.2
cfm air compressors will be offered on QSB6 and
QSB4 products.

engines, the cylinder head is a one-
piece cast iron, cross flow design with
four valves per cylinder.
The cylinder head has an integral
• Intake manifold
• Thermostat housing
• Internal water bypass
The four valve per cylinder design
allows for a centered injector in the
cylinder head (3).
Valves and Valve Seat Inserts

material
Requires increased valve lash setting
Continue to have a dimple to identify
the exhaust valves (2) from the intake
valves (1)
Valve seat inserts are serviceable with
oversize versions available
Valve Guides and Valve Stem Seals
The cylinder head has integrally cast
valve guides which are not serviceable.
If the valve guides are damaged, the
cylinder head must be replaced
The valve stem seals are of a “top hat”
design. This design utilizes the valve
spring to secure the valve stem seal in
place.
The same valve stem seal is used for
both intake an exhaust
Cylinder Head Gasket
Cylinder head gasket is a new design for the
increased displacement QSB CM850 engines
(4.5/6.7 liter)
Note: For the cylinder head, if valve depth
and injector protrusion specifications can
be maintained, the cylinder head can be
resurfaced. For the cylinder block, if the
piston protrusion specification can be
maintained, the cylinder block can be
resurfaced.
Crosshead
Same as used on all 4 valve
per cylinder “B” product
The crosshead allows the

Fuel System General Information
WARNING
The fuel pump, high-pressure fuel lines, and fuel rail contain very high-pressure fuel.
Do not loosen any fittings while the engine is running. Wait at least 10 minutes after
shutting down the engine before loosening any fittings in the high-pressure fuel
system to allow pressure to decrease to a lower level.
WARNING
Fuel is flammable. Keep all cigarettes, flames, pilot lights, arcing equipment, and
switches out of the work area and areas sharing ventilation to reduce the possibility
of severe personal injury or death when working on the fuel system.
WARNING
Do not vent the fuel system on a hot engine; this can cause fuel to spill onto a hot
exhaust manifold, which can cause a fire.
NOTE: It is not necessary to vent air from the high pressure fuel system before
starting the engine. Cranking the engine will help prime the fuel system.
Fuel System Cleanliness During
Repairs Is Very Important
Clean all fuel system fittings,
lines, and components before
disassembly.
Make sure that no dirt or debris
enters the fuel system
components to prevent the
passing of contaminants to the
high pressure fuel rail and
injectors.
Small amounts of dirt and
debris can cause a malfunction of
these components.
Why Fuel System Clean Care Really
Does Matter
Fuel Pump
The fuel pump pressure is
1600 bar.
There are 2 different
mounting locations
available for high-
pressure fuel pumps.
The pump may be
mounted in a high or low
position.
Fuel Pump Actuator
PWM (Pulse Width
Modulated) device driven by
the ECM
“Normally Open”
The fuel pump actuator is a
serviceable part.
Troubleshooting procedures
have been updated to reflect
when the fuel pump actuator
should be replaced vs the
entire fuel pump assembly
Fuel Heater (Optional)
The fuel heater is not controlled by the
electronic control module (ECM). A
bimetallic strip acts as a thermostat.
Mounted at the priming pump filter
head. The fuel heater will turn on
below approximately 2°C [35.6°F] and
turn off above approximately 24°C
[75°F].
Priming Pump
QSB CM850 engines do not
utilize an electric motor driven
lift pump.
The OEM installed hand
priming pump is used to prime
the fuel system. It can be
remote or mounted on the
engine.
During normal engine
operation, the gear pump
mounted on the fuel pump will
draw fuel from the OEM fuel
tank
Injectors and Fuel
Lines Group
Low Pressure Fuel Lines
Quick connect fuel lines
are utilized on the low
pressure side of the fuel
system.
Fuel supply line
connecting the fuel pump
outlet to the fuel filter
head inlet.
Fuel supply line
connecting the fuel filter
head outlet to the fuel
pump inlet.
Fuel Drain Lines
1) Fuel drain connection from the fuel injection pump.
2) Fuel drain line from the fuel rail pressure relief valve.
3) Fuel drain line from the injector drain port at the back of
the cylinder head.
Fuel Manifold
No fuel return manifold as found
on other Cummins HPCR engines
• The OEM drain line will attach at
fuel pump drain connection.
To aid in separating fuel system
drain flows, quick disconnect
fittings have been added
• Critical fuel drain flows for
troubleshooting include
– Fuel Pressure Relief Valve
– Injector Drain
– Fuel Pump Drain
Fuel Filter Head / Bracket
The fuel filter head and
bracket are separate pieces.
• The bracket mounts to the
intake manifold cover
• The filter head mounts to
the filter bracket
Fuel Filter (Pressure side)
The on engine fuel filter (5 um) is
pressurized by the gear mounted
on the fuel pump.
• Unlike ISBe which was pressurized
by the electric lift pump
• Can be mounted on engine or
chassis
• Cummins Inc. recommends NOT
pre-filling the secondary fuel filter
– Reduces the chance of
introducing unfiltered fuel/debris
into the fuel system
– Use the hand priming pump on
the suction side fuel filter to
prime the pressure side filter
Fuel Filter (Suction side)
The priming pump fuel filter (25 um)
and water separator is on the suction
side of the fuel system.
• Requires an extension harness to
connect the water in fuel (WIF) sensor
• Can be pre-filled
Priming
• Pump the primer handle until resistance
is felt and the handle cannot be pumped
anymore (approximately 140 to150
strokes for dry filters, or 20 to 60 strokes
for pre-filled filter).
• Lock the manual priming pump handle.
• Crank engine. If the engine does not
start after 30 seconds, turn key to OFF
position.
• Pump the priming pump again,
repeating the previous steps until engine
starts
Fuel Rail Supply Line
High pressure fuel from
the high pressure pump
to the fuel rail.
On 4 cylinder engines
the pressure side fuel
filter/bracket must be
removed to access the
top fitting on the fuel rail
supply line
Fuel Rail
The fuel rail contains high
pressure fuel from the fuel
pump.
The fuel pressure relief valve
is a cartridge located at the
front end of the fuel rail, Fuel
pressure relief valve
1) Fuel pressure relief valve
drain
2) High pressure fuel supply
fitting from fuel pump
3) Mounting bracket (s)
4) High pressure injector supply
fitting (s)
5) Fuel pressure sensor
Fuel Injector
The injector is manufactured
by Bosch
The injector retainer is part of
the fuel injector
The injector sealing washer is
a flat brass seal
Cummins High
Pressure Common
Rail
Injector Theory of Operation
• Injector Solenoid is not
energized. The solenoid
spring forces the +
solenoid in the closed
position
-
• Equal fuel pressure is
exerted on both the
plunger (1) and
shoulder area (2) of the
needle
• The greater surface
area of the plunger (2) 1
results in more hydraulic
advantage keeping the
injector in the closed
position
2
• When the ECM
requires fuel for a
cylinder a voltage is +
driven to the injector
solenoid
-
• This creates an
electromagnetic force
that is greater than
the force of the spring
•This forces the
solenoids metal core
to move upward
• As the solenoid lifts Fuel from the
a leak path is opened leak path drains
in the fuel injector through a
passage in the
cylinder head
• The leak results in
the shoulder of the
injector needle now +
seeing a greater
hydraulic force than
-
the plunger (due to
the leak path)
• This allows the
needle to lift from the
closed position
• Fuel is then injected
into the cylinder
through the nozzles
• When fuel is no longer
needed the injector
solenoid is de-energized +
by the ECM
• The electromagnetic -
force is removed
allowing the spring to
force the solenoid to the
closed position
• When the solenoid is
in the closed position
the leak path is
removed
• With the leak path
removed the greater
surface area of the
plunger causes the
plunger/needle to reseat
and end fuel injection
• Equal fuel pressure
is again sent to both
the plunger (1) and +
shoulder of the
needle (2)
-
• The greater surface
area of the plunger
(1) results in more
hydraulic force
keeping the injector in
the closed position
until the ECM 1
determines fueling is
again needed
2
• Fuel System
cleanliness is very
important for High +
Pressure Common Rail
Systems
-
• Contaminants can
lodge in the small
passages in the injector
preventing critical flows
• If the contaminate
particle lodges in the
passage to the plunger
area
•The result is the injector
will remain in the open
position and cause
engine damage due to
uncontrolled fueling of
the cylinder
Fuel Injector / Connector
The high-pressure connector and injector
must be replaced if failure is observed
• The high-pressure connector should be
replaced anytime the injector is replaced
Be sure not to over torque the connector
retaining nut. Over torquing the retaining
nut may cause the connector to rotate
out of the connector retaining slot.
High Pressure Connector
High Pressure Supply Lines
Designed to withstand the 1600
bar fuel pressure and system
pressure pulsations
Important to follow the
installation procedure in the
manual to prevent fuel line
failure
If a leak is suspected never use
your hand to find the leak …
use paper or cardboard
Fuel Injector Supply Lines
Injector supply lines designed
for the 1600 Bar fuel rail
pressure
No isolators or external
supports
Injector supply line torque
value is critical
A crow's foot and socket
extension may be required
to remove and install the
fuel line fitting to the fuel
connector.
Anytime a high pressure
injector supply line is
removed from the engine,
the fuel connector nut at the
cylinder head must be re-
torqued.

Intake Air Heater Operation
An electric Pre-heat grid type air intake heater is optional
on the Tier 3 QSB engines. Installation requirements for the
grid heater will be covered in the Electronic Subsystem
Technical Package AEB 15.60, OEM Components. Intake Air
Heater (or Grid Heaters) aid starting during cold ambient
conditions. There are two phases of intake air heater
operation:
Pre-heat (after key-on and before cranking)
Post-heat (just after a successful engine start)
There is no heat during cranking.
A “Wait to Start” lamp is also controlled by the ECM and is
illuminated to indicate that it is not the optimal time to crank
the engine. This will not prohibit the engine from starting.
