Part of the coolant is sent to the aftercooler while most of the coolant is sent through engine oil cooler (3) .The coolant that is sent to the aftercooler goes through the aftercooler core. The coolant then goes through an elbow. The coolant goes into a passage in the cylinder block. The passage is near the center of the vee at the rear of the cylinder block. The coolant that is sent to the engine oil cooler goes through the engine oil cooler. The coolant flows into the water jacket of the cylinder block at the right rear cylinder. The cooler coolant is mixed with the hotter coolant. The mixture goes to both sides of the cylinder block through distribution manifolds. The distribution manifolds are connected to the water jacket of all the cylinders. The main distribution manifold is located just above the main bearing oil gallery.The coolant flows upward through the water jackets. The coolant flows around the cylinder liners from the bottom to the top. Near the top of the cylinder liners, the water jacket is made smaller. This is the area that has the hottest temperature. This smaller area causes the coolant to flow faster for better liner cooling. Coolant from the top of the liners flows into the cylinder head which sends the coolant around the parts that have the hottest temperature. Coolant flows to the top of the cylinder head (one at each cylinder). The coolant flows out of the cylinder head through an elbow into water manifold (7). Coolant then flows through the manifold to the water temperature regulator housing (9) (thermostat).Water temperature regulator housing (9) has an upper flow section and a lower flow section. The water temperature regulator housing uses four water temperature regulators. The sensing bulbs of the four water temperature regulators are in the coolant in the lower section of the housing. Before the water temperature regulators open, cold coolant is sent through the bypass line back to the inlet of the water pump. As the temperature of the coolant increases, the water temperature regulators start to open. When the water temperature regulators open the coolant flow in the bypass line is then restricted. Coolant is sent through the outlets to heat exchanger (12) .Separate Circuit Aftercooling

The coolant goes to both sides of the block through distribution manifolds. The distribution manifolds are connected to the water jacket of all the cylinders. The main distribution manifold is located just above the main bearing oil gallery.The coolant flows upward through the water jackets. The coolant flows around the cylinder liners from the bottom to the top. Near the top of the cylinder liners, the water jacket is made smaller. This shelf (smaller area) causes the coolant to flow faster for better liner cooling. Coolant from the top of the liners flows into the cylinder head which sends the coolant around the parts that have the hottest temperature. Coolant flows to the top of the cylinder head (one at each cylinder). The coolant flows out of the cylinder head through an elbow into a water manifold at each bank of cylinders. Coolant goes through the manifold to the temperature regulator housing (thermostat) (4) .Water temperature regulator housing (4) has an upper flow section and a lower flow section. The water temperature regulator housing uses four water 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 bypass line back to the inlet of the water pump (5). As the temperature of the coolant increases, the water temperature regulators start to open. When the water temperature regulators open the coolant flow in the bypass line is then restricted. Coolant is sent through the outlets to the source for the jacket water coolant (6) .Coolant goes in water pump (9) through an elbow that connects to the separate circuit coolant source (10). The coolant flow is sent through the aftercooler (7) .Coolant flows through aftercooler (7) and back to thermostatic valve (8). Before the thermostatic valve (8) opens, cold coolant is sent back to the separate circuit water pump (9). As the temperature of the coolant increases, the thermostatic valve starts to open. Coolant flow in the bypass line is restricted and some coolant is sent through the outlet to the separate circuit coolant source (10) .
