GM EMD
Four-Cycle Engine

EMD's H-Engine is a dramatic departure from EMD history since all previous engines
were based on the original 567 series, two-cycle design. Recognizing the current needs
for higher horsepower, reduced emissions and improved fuel economy, EMD developed
the new four-stroke engine design. Some of the advanced features of the new 16-cylinder
four-stroke engine include the following:

Twin gas-driven turbochargers

Cast ductile iron crankcase
One centrally mounted camshaft
Electronic fuel injection
Thermo-flex piston crown
Ductile iron cross-flow cylinder head

Smaller twin gas-driven turbochargers replace the single large turbo used on EMD's
two-cycle engines. Precise design and turbocharger matching provide an optimum
response to load changes and achieve a wide operating range. The low inertia turbine
wheel design contributes to quick response while reducing visible smoke emissions.
The cast crankcase provides improved stiffness and high strength-to-weight ratio,
resulting in reduced vibration and increased durability.
One centrally mounted camshaft, assembled in four sections and rigidly supported
between the engine banks, incorporates an innovative roller follower design. The
benefits of this cam design include few bolted joints and low weight.
Carried over from previous EMD engine designs is the unitized power assembly
concept in which the head, cylinder liner, piston and connecting rod are assembled
as one piece that is removable as a unit for service. The combination of the new
patented piston incorporating a Thermo-flex crown with the cross-flow cylinder
head has been designed to provide more complete combustion, reduced emissions
and superior fuel efficiency.
The new highly reliable 16-cylinder H-Engine with world class fuel economy is currently
available for stationary power and industrial applications. The marine version will be
offered in 2001.
