A foreign Cummings engine was installed on domestic vehicles of the GAZ company. Power units were installed on Gazelle Next models and Gazelle business light-duty trucks with turbocharging. The engines are popular among car owners due to the fact that they have proven themselves to be reliable engines that can withstand the Russian winter. The installation of such engines began in 2013.
Let's take a look at the technical parameters of the motor.
Specifications
The Cummings engine was developed in the United States of America. The main feature was the low cost for car owners and high engine power.
For your information! Many experienced mechanics believe that Cummings is half the engine that was intended for installation in the Nissan Titan. Although these are just guesses and nothing more.

And a major overhaul of the Kamins engine is done after a run of 100 thousand kilometers.

Design and principle of operation of the motor
This device from the manufacturer Cummings has a combined lubrication system. The parts are lubricated and cooled by pressure and spraying oil through an oil pump at the same time. This operation of the lubricant allows the metal and constantly rubbing elements of the Kamins engine to experience greater loads and the least wear.

ISF powerplants are most popular due to their heated intake manifold. Therefore, this Kamins engine starts just as easily in northern regions at temperatures of minus thirty, as in southern regions at temperatures of plus thirty degrees Celsius.
The Kamins liquid engine cooling system prevents the engine from overheating while operating in difficult conditions in temperatures over forty. But this is not the most expensive part in the engine.
The Kamins crankshaft is responsible for the reciprocating motion of the pistons. They create that same torque. The cylinder block is cast from cast iron, and the cylinder head is also made from cast iron. Kamins sleeves are milled. They have medium hold. Easily replaced when worn.
The Kamins crankshaft is made of malleable cast iron. It is balanced in production. Cummings engine crankshaft journals are cemented. Thanks to this, they are resistant to wear and have high strength. They are not replaceable. Therefore, the Kamins crankshaft is completely replaced with a new part during production.
Kamins intake and exhaust valves are made of steel that can withstand extreme heat. The valves have stems made of chrome. This metal prevents scuffing on the valves, which helps increase the life of the engine.
Kamins valves have a spherical well. And the exhaust valves of the Cummins engine have their own trick. True, it does not play any role in the power or increase in the life of the engine. This is an engraved letter "C".
The pistons consist of an aluminum skirt. The upper part is smelted from a metal alloy that is resistant to overheating.
Let's take a look at the decoding of the Cumings ISF2.8S4 model:
- IS is an acronym. In English it stands for interact system. A translates as an engine with an electronic control system;
- F is the model name;
- 2.8 – volume in liters;
- S4 indicates belonging to the ecological class. At the moment, these are engines with Euro 4. That is, cars with an engine of this class can be driven to Europe.
The camshaft is located in the Kamins cylinder head. Driven by chain. The latter has hydraulic tensioners and two shoes. Chain wear is equal to one hundred thousand kilometers under adequate operating conditions. If the engine and the car are operated under extreme conditions, then all spare parts, and not just the chain, have to be changed more often.

The Kamins turbine fails after 75,000 kilometers. There is no way to repair it. Therefore, if the turbocharger breaks down, this element is completely replaced, just like the crankshaft.

Engine operational features
The Kamins motor has a reduced level of noise and vibration during operation. This is primarily due to the fact that Cummins uses Commons Rails solenoid injectors. Thanks to the use of an updated filtration system and polyamide pipelines in the Kamins engine, water inclusions are easily separated from the fuel.
The internal combustion engine is unpretentious in terms of fuel quality. This makes its operation advantageous among other diesel power plants. The main thing is that the diesel engine matches the season. And before starting the engine. Especially in winter, car owners should not forget to check the oil and coolant levels in the engine.
Before you start driving, you need to let the Kamins engine warm up. After warming up, you should only drive the car at low speeds. Then the oil can warm up in the rear axle and manual transmission. This will promote better lubrication of the rubbing element and prevent premature wear.
It is not recommended to load the Kamins engine too sharply; transitions with downshifts or upshifts should be made smooth. Before turning off the engine, you need to let it run a little. This is necessary in order to lower the temperature in the turbo compressor.
Often, car owners have all the problems with the Kamins engine due to the use of fuel out of season, for example, they filled in summer diesel fuel in the winter. Or when using low-quality lubricants. Then the lifespan of both individual parts of the engine and the power plant itself sharply decreases.

Reviews from owners of a gazelle car with a Cummins diesel engine
The long-lasting Kamenz engine, according to car owners, requires constant care. Only original spare parts must be installed on it. Preventative maintenance is an essential part of running a Kamins engine.
Experienced mechanics advise not to let the fuel level drop to a minimum. Since this has a bad effect on the high pressure fuel pump and engine injectors. Overloading the motor will be a reason for major repairs.
Judging by the reviews of car owners and experienced Kamins mechanics, the most reliable parts of the engine are the cylinder block, the cylinder head, oddly enough, and liners. After ten thousand kilometers, the filter elements are completely replaced, this includes oil and fuel filters, and air filters.
The engine oil is changed after 30 thousand kilometers if the car is not used often. If you drive it every day, then replacement is done every 10 thousand kilometers.
Many Kamins owners complain about a weak turbine. It should be taken into account that all engines with turbines do not have a turbocharging device that could last over one hundred thousand kilometers. Even provided that the car owner drives the car carefully without loading it.
According to car owners, the reason for the overhaul of the Kamins engine is often the wear of the piston rings. Since dirt and dust that gets into the engine erase them completely.
Technical characteristics of GAZ-3309
Those who had experience driving the base model, the GAZ-3307, immediately felt that the diesel GAZ-3309 was outwardly the same, but in fact a completely different car. The diesel “Lawn” carries a load of 4 and a little more than 4 tons; traction, rides smoothly and, most importantly, provides much more acceptable fuel consumption.
Truck engines GAZ-3309
All these, far from superfluous, qualities were given to the car by a diesel engine. Having realized in time the failure of a diesel engine of its own design, the Gorky Automobile Plant did not get hung up on testing imported engines, but settled on the Minsk D-245.7 engine.
This engine, created on the basis of proven diesel engines used, including on Belarus tractors, has proven itself well as a truck power unit. And YaMZ-53442-10 has become an even more economical, productive and low-noise engine. About the technical characteristics and features of the main engines of the GAZ-3309.
