Checking process
Checking process
–  Start up the engine and make it turn until the radiator fan has switched on once.
–  Increase speed to approx. 2,500/min for 2 minutes.
If the hydraulic plungers continue to make a noise, check to see which one/s is/are faulty as follows:
–  Remove protective engine cover and cylinder head cover.
–  Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the plunger cams to be checked are up.
–  Check the play between cams and hydraulic plungers.
–  If play is greater than 0.1 mm, replace the plunger. If play is less than 0.1 mm or if there is no play, proceed with the check as follows:
   
–  Press the plunger slightly downwards with a wooden or plastic wedge. If it is not possible to insert a 0.1 mm thick feeler gauge between the camshaft and the plunger the plunger should be replaced.
  Note!
After fitting new plungers do not start the engine for approx. 30 minutes. Hydraulic compensation elements must be allowed to settle (or else the valves could touch the piston).
