s
 WOODWARD UG8 GOVERNOR
The pilot valve has a pilot valve plunger and a
bushing. The bushing is turned by the governor
drive shaft. The rotation of the bushing helps re-
duce friction between the bushing and the plunger.
The pilot valve plunger has a land that controls oil
flow through the ports in the bushing. When the
pilot valve plunger is moved down, high pressure
oil goes to the bottom of the power pisto n and the
power piston will move up. When the pilot valve
plunger is moved up, the oil on the bottom of the
power piston is relea sed to the sump and the power
piston moves down. When the pilot valve plunger is
in the center (balance) position, the oil port to the
bottom of the power piston is closed and the power
piston will not move. The pilot valve plunger is
moved by the ballhead assembly.
The ballhead assembly has a ballhead, flyweights,
speeder spring, thrust bearing, speeder plug, and
speeder rod. The ballhead assernbly is driven by a
gear and shaft from the driven gear of the oil pump.
The speeder rod is fastened to the thrust bearing
which is on the toes of the flyweights. The speeder
rod is connected to the pilot valve plunger with a
lever. The speeder spring is held in position on the
thrust bearing by the speeder plug.
As the ballhead turns, the flyweights move out
due to centrifugal force. This will make theflyweight
toes move up and cause compression of the speeder
spring. When the force of the speeder spring and the
force of the flyweights are equal, the engine speed
is constant. The speeder plug can be moved up or
down manually (change the compression of the
speeder spring) to change the speed of the engine.
The compensation system gives stability to engine
speed changes. The compensation system has a
needle valve and two pistons - an actuating piston
and a receiving piston. The actuating piston is con-
nected to the output terminal shaft by the compen-
sation adjusting lever. A fulcrum that is adjustable
is on the lever. When the position of the fulcrum is
changed, the amount of movement possible of the
actuating piston is changed.
The receiving piston is connected to the pilot
valve plunger and the speeder rod by a lever.
The needle valve makes a restriction to oil flow
between the oil sump and the two pistons.
6
SYSTEMS OPERATION
When the actuating piston moves down, the
piston forces the oil under the receiving piston and
moves it up. When the receiving piston moves up, it
raises the pilot valve plunger to stop the flow of oil
to the bottorn of the power piston.
When the engine is in operation at a steady speed,
the land on the pilot control valve is in the center
of the control port of the bushing. A decrease in
load will cause an increase in engine speed. With an
increase in engine speed, the flyweights move out
and raise the speeder rod and floating lever. This
raises the pilot valve plunger and releases oil from
the bottom of the power piston. As the power piston
moves down, the output terminal shaft moves in the
decrease fuel direction. When the output terminal
shaft moves, the actuating compensation piston
moves up. This causes a suction on the receiving
piston, which now moves down. The floating lever
is alsd pulled down by the receiving piston, and this
lever now moves the pilot control valve down to
close the control port. With the control port closed,
the output terminal shaft and power pisto n move-
ment is stopped. As the engine speed returns to
normal, the flyweights move in and the speeder rod
moves down. When the pressure of the compensa-
tion system oil and the sump oil beco me the same
through the needle valve, the receiving compensa-
tion piston moves up at the same rate as the speeder
rod moves down. This action keeps the pilot valve
plunger in position to close the port.
An increase in load will cause a decrease in engine
speed. When engine speed decreases, the flyweights
move in and lower the speeder rod and floating
lever. This lowers the pilot valve plunger and lets
pressure oil go under the power piston. The power
pistón moves up and turns the output terminal shaft
in the increase fuel direction. When the output ter-
minal shaft moves, the actuating compensation
piston moves down. This causes a pressure on the
receiving piston, which now moves up. The floating
lever is also pushed up by the receiving pisten, and
the lever now moves the pilot valve plunger up to
close the control port. With the control port closed,
the output terminal shaft and power piston move-
ment is stopped.
A change to the speed setting of the governor will
give the same governor movements as an increase
or decrease in load.
 VYUUDWARD UG8 GOVERNOR
SYSTEMS OPERATION

The synchronizer is used to change engine speed.

The speed setting motor on the top of the governor TYPE UG-8
can also be used to change engine speed. Either con-
trol turns the speeder plug (which moves up or
down) and changes the force of the speeder spring.
The synchronizer indicator gives an indication of
the number of turns the synchronizer has moved.
The load limit control is used to control the
amount of travel of the output terminal shaft. The
control can be used to stop the engine if the knob
is turned to zero.

NOTICE
Do not move Ihe governor linkage in Ihe in-
crease fuel direction until the load limU control
is moved to the maximum position.

The speed droop control is used to adjust the

amount of speed droop from zero to one hundred
percent. Speed droop is the difference between no

Coolant sent to the aftercooler goes through the

aftercooler core, and then is sent through an elbow
into a passage in the block near the center of the vee
at the rear of the block. The cooIant sent to the oil
cooler goes through the oil cooler and flows into the
water jacket of the block at the right rear cylinder.
The cooler coolant mixes with the hotter coolant and
goes to both sides of the block through distribution
manifolds connected to the water jacket of al! the
cylinders. The main distribution manifold is located
just aboye the main bearing oil gallery.
The cooIant flows up through the water jackets
and around the cylinder Iiners from the bottom to the
topo Near the top of the cylinder liners, where the
temperature is the hottest, the water jacket is made
smalIer. This shelf (smaller area) causes the coolant
to flow faster fOLbetter liner cooling. Coolant from
the top of the liners goes into the cylinder head which
sends the coolant around the parts where the te m-
perature is the hottest. CooIant then goes to the top of
the cylinder head and out through an elbow, one at
each cylinder head, into water cooled exhaust mani-
folds (6) at each bank of cylinders. CooIant then goes
through the manifolds to the temperature regulator
(thermostat) housing.
Regulator housing (8) has an upper and lower flow
section, and uses four temperature regulators. The
sensing bulbs of the four temperature regulators are
in the coolant in the lower section of the housing.
Before the regulators open, cold coolant is sent
through the lower section of the housing, through the
by pass tubes to the expansion tank, and then back to
the inlet of the water pump. As the temperature of
the coolant increases enough to make the regulators
start to open, cooIant flow to the bypass tubes is
stopped, and coolant is now sent through the outlets
to the heat exchanger. After the regulators are fully
open, most of the cooIant from the water cooled
manifolds goes through the heat exchanger and back
to the expansion tank.
Total.system cooIant capacity will depend on the
size of the heat exchanger. Use a coolant mixture of
50 percent pure water and 50 percent permanent
antifreeze, then add a concentration of 3 to 6 percent
corrosion inhibitor.

INJECTOR SYNCHRONIZAT~ON
i
Tools Needed:
6V3119 Rack Synchronizing Gauge.
Injector synchronization is the setting of all in-
jector racks to a reference position so each injector
gives the same amount of fuel to each cylinder. This
is done by setting each injector rack to the same
position while the control linkage is in a fixed posi-
tion (called the synchronizing position). The pro-
cedure for adjustment of injector synchronization
is as follows:
l. The top bolt that holds cover (3) in position is
synchronizing pin (2). Remove synchronizing
pin (2) and plug (1) from the front drive hous-
ing. DO NOT destroy seal or remove cover (3).
2. Remove the washer from synchronizing pin (2)
and install it into the threaded hole where plug
(1) was removed. Tighten synchronizing pin (2).
NOTICE
Do not force the governor linkage toward in-
creased fuel unless the load limit knob is
turned to TEN. The result will be damage to
the governor.

3. Turn the governor or actuator terminal shaft

to the fuel "ON" position until the fIat face of
fuel stop lever (4) contacts synchronizing pin
(2). This is the synchronizing position or zero
reference point. Hold the controllinkage in this
position when the injectors are adjusted.
