The design of the NOZZLE ASSEMBLY, LUBRICATING, DIESEL ENGINE is unique in that it its geometry is specifically designed for the cylinder bank spacing of the AVDS-1790 so that the oil may be effectively delivered each of the 12 piston assemblies. The piston oilers provide additional cooling and wrist-pin lubrication to the underside of the AVDS-1790 piston assemblies which enhances the durability of the AVDS-1790 engine at high-rpms. A similar component would need to be designed with geometry tailored to the unique cylinder spacing without interfering with existing components to ensure the reliability of the M88’s AVDS-1790 12-cylinder diesel engine at high rpms during a full-load operation. The Government does not possess the technical data package (TDP), detailed drawings and performance specifications for these items. This is not a developmental effort. Current designs have been approved by the Product Manager. Alternate designs must be approved by the Product Manager.
