The D-245.7E3 diesel engine is installed on PAZ-32053-07 buses.

The D-245.9E3 diesel engine is installed on PAZ-4234 and PAZ-32053-07 buses.

The general design of the engine is shown in Fig. 1.

The diesel engines use a Common Rail fuel system with electronic injection control, which ensures environmental performance complying with the Euro-3 level through optimisation of the working process.

Longitudinal section of the engine
Longitudinal section of the engine: 1 — piston cooling nozzle; 2 — water pump; 3 — piston pin; 4 — connecting rod; 5 — cap; 6 — piston; 7 — cylinder liner; 8 — cylinder head cover; 9 — cylinder head; 10 — cylinder block; 11 — flywheel; 12 — crankshaft counterweight; 13 — crankshaft; 14 — oil strainer; 15 — oil pump.

The engine comprises:

  • cylinder block with suspension;
  • crank mechanism and valve timing mechanism;
  • lubrication, fuel and cooling systems;
  • boost and starting devices, drives of electrical equipment and units.

The crank mechanism consists of: crankshaft, pistons with piston rings and pins, connecting rods, main and connecting rod bearings, flywheel.

The crankshaft is made of steel and has five main journals and four connecting rod journals.

At the front and rear, the crankshaft is sealed by lip seals.

The piston is made of aluminium alloy.

The combustion chamber is formed in the piston crown. In the upper part, the piston has three grooves — compression rings are installed in the first two, and the oil scraper ring in the third.

Under the groove of the upper compression ring, an insert of special cast iron is cast in.

Piston rings. The upper compression ring is made of high-strength cast iron, its cross-section has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid, the second compression ring is conical.

On the end surface at the lock, the compression rings are marked "Верх" ("TOP").

The oil scraper ring is of the box type with a spring expander.

The connecting rod is made of steel.

To lubricate the piston pin, holes are provided in the upper connecting rod head and bush.

The valve timing mechanism consists of the camshaft, intake and exhaust valves, as well as the parts for their installation and drive: tappets, pushrods, rocker arms, adjusting screws with nuts, spring retainers with split keepers, springs, posts and the rocker shaft.

The camshaft is driven from the crankshaft through the timing gears.
