Option 2: Camshaft test gauge cannot be inserted in cylinder head. > < Engine, Lock at 1st Cylinder TDC (Timing, Check)

Adjusting the timing: Option 1

Lock pin of injection pump does not fit in retaining bore of injection pump flange

Note:   Crankshaft is locked at "1st cylinder TDC" with Lock Pin KM-929.

  Remove

Detach engine damping block adapter from timing case. Remove simplex chain tensioner (3) and duplex chain tensioner (2) - note installation position. Detach fastening bolt for camshaft sprocket from camshaft - counterhold with open-ended wrench at camshaft hex.

  Install

Insert new fastening bolt for camshaft sprocket and hand-tighten - ensure that the camshaft sprocket is seated squarely on the camshaft. The camshaft sprocket must be seated flush on the camshaft.

  Remove

Release fastening bolts (1) for Simplex injection pump gear - ensure bolting strength equals 10.9, replace fastening bolt if required.

Caution

The factory-fitted fastening bolts of the Simplex injection pump gear must be replaced after slackening for the first time.

The factory-fitted fastening bolts of the Simplex injection pump gear do not have to be replaced after slackening for the first time.

  Adjust

Turn injection pump gear until the arrow (1) on the Simplex injection pump gear is aligned with the recess in injection pump flange and retaining bore (2) in injection pump.

  Install

Insert Injection Pump Lock Pin KM-927 (3) to stop in lock bore fuel injection pump.

  Install

Insert Duplex chain tensioner (4) in timing case - closed side of chain tensioner must face towards tension rail. Install closure bolt (2) with new seal ring (3) - tightening torque 60 Nm / 44 lbf. ft.

Caution

When installing new Duplex chain tensioner, chain tensioner must be released by means of release bolt (1) after assembly. Push in release bolt with hammer handle until click is audible.

It must be possible to push in release bolt up to stop with thumb and for it to slide back to its original position automatically - the release bolt can no longer be pushed in once the oil pressure has built up.

  Remove

Remove Injection Pump Lock Pin KM-927.

  Install

Tighten fastening bolts (1) with bolting strength 10.9 for simplex fuel injection pump gear - tightening torque 28 Nm / 21 lbf. ft.

Insert Injection Pump Lock Pin KM-927 into fuel injection pump lock bore again.

  Install

Place Test Gauge KM-932 (3) on cylinder head - pin (2) must engage in camshaft bore (1) - if necessary turn camshaft slowly and smoothly at hex (short route).

Object Number: 2395989  Size: DEFAULT


  Install

Insert carrier (1) of Adjuster KM-933 (4) vertically in camshaft sprocket. Mount Adjuster KM-933 to cylinder head with accompanying bolts.

Object Number: 2400016  Size: DEFAULT


  Adjust

Use handle (2) to exert slight pressure on the carrier in the direction of arrow (counter engine rotational direction) and fix in place with holder bolt (3).

Removal and installation of Retaining Pin KM-927 for fuel injection pump must be possible under suction. If this is not possible, the pressure on the adapter plate must be slightly reduced using the adjustment screw (3).

  Install

Fasten camshaft sprocket to camshaft - tightening torque 90 Nm / 66 lbf. ft. + 60° + 30°.

  Install

Insert simplex chain tensioner (4) in cylinder head - closed side of chain tensioner must face tension rail. Install closure bolt (2) with new seal ring (3) - tightening torque 60 Nm / 44 lbf. ft.

Caution

When a new simplex chain tensioner is installed, following installation, the chain tensioner must be released via the release pin (1).

  Inspect

Press in the release pin with a hammer shaft until a click is heard.

It must be possible to push in release bolt up to stop with thumb and for it to slide back to its original position automatically - the release bolt can no longer be pushed in once the oil pressure has built up.

  Adjust

At the torsional vibration damper fastening bolt, turn crankshaft slowly and smoothly for two rotations (approx. 720°) in direction of engine rotation until just in front of 1st cylinder ign. TDC - mark (3) on torsional vibration damper is located just in front of timing case lug (2).

  Inspect

In this position, the cams (1) of the 1st cylinder are just before TDC (both cams point upwards).

  Install

Insert Crankshaft Lock Pin KM-929 (1) in crankshaft pulse pick-up aperture and simultaneously continue turning crankshaft slowly and smoothly in direction of engine rotation using fastening bolt for torsional vibration damper so that crankshaft retaining pin engages to the stop in cylinder block or crank web.

Object Number: 2396165  Size: DEFAULT


  Inspect

In this position, the marks (2) must be aligned.

  Inspect

Arrow (1) on Simplex injection pump gear must be aligned with the recess in injection pump flange and retaining bore (2) in injection pump.

Object Number: 2395988  Size: DEFAULT


  Install

Insert Injection Pump Lock Pin KM-927 (3) in lock bore of fuel injection pump.

  Install

Place Test Gauge KM-932 (3) on cylinder head - pin (2) must engage in the camshaft bore (1).

Object Number: 2395989  Size: DEFAULT


  Remove

Remove all locking tools.

  Install

Install removed components - see operation "Engine, Lock at 1st Cylinder TDC (Timing, Check)".
