The YaMZ-236M2 and YaMZ-238M2 engines are six- and eight-cylinder models of the family of four-stroke diesel engines of Avtodizel OJSC

The YaMZ-238AM2 engine is a modification of the YaMZ-238M2 engine, the power of which is limited to 225 hp. for the entire period of operation.

The YaMZ-238VM engine has the same rated power and maximum torque as the YaMZ-238M2 engine, it is distinguished by its completeness and a special oil pan that allows operation at increased rolls and trims.

General view of YaMZ-236M2 diesel engine

YaMZ-236M2, YaMZ-238M2, YaMZ-238AM2, YaMZ-238VM, YaMZ-238GM2 and YaMZ-238KM2 engines are interchangeable with YaMZ-236M, YaMZ-238M, YaMZ-238AM, YaMZ-238VM, YaMZ-238GM ​​and YaMZ-238KM, produced before 1988, as well as with engines YaMZ-236, YaMZ-238, YaMZ-238A, YaMZ-238V, YaMZ-238G and YaMZ-238K, produced before August 1985.

Lubrication system

Mixed. Under pressure, the main and connecting rod bearings of the crankshaft, camshaft bearings, bushings of the upper heads of the connecting rods, bushings of rocker arms, bushing of the intermediate gear of the oil pump, spherical bearings of the rods, bushings of pushers are lubricated.

High pressure fuel pump and speed control are equipped with circulating lubrication from the engine lubrication system

Oil pump - gear, two-section

Gears, rolling bearings and camshaft lobes are splash lubricated.

Oil system pressure, kPa (kgf/cm2) for all engines:

  • - at nominal speed - 400-700 (4-7)
  • - at minimum idle speed, not less than 100 (1.0)

Oil cooling system - oil cooler mounted outside the engine

Oil filters

Two - full-flow, with a replaceable filter element and fine cleaning - centrifugal, with a jet drive. It is allowed to install a coarse filter instead of a full-flow one.

Opening pressure of lubrication system valves, kPa (kgf/cm2):

  • - oil pump pressure reducing valve 700-800 (7.0-8.0)
  • - safety valve of the radiator section of the oil pump 100-130 (1.0-1.3)
  • - differential valve 520-560 (5.2-5.6)
  • - bypass valve of the coarse oil filter 180-230 (1.8-2.3)
  • - full flow oil filter bypass valve 200-250 (2.0-2.5)
