Notes:
-
◆ If during repair work, metal shavings or larger quantities of small metal particles are found in the engine oil - caused, for example, by partial seizure of the crankshaft and conrod bearings - then, apart from thoroughly cleaning out the oil passages, it is necessary to renew the oil cooler.
-
◆ Defective injectors can cause violent knocking noises in the engine which sound like defective bearings. When this occurs, run engine at idling speed and slacken off injector pipe unions one after the other. If knocking stops when a union is loosened, this indicates that the injector concerned is defective.
