Coat sliding surfaces of valve bridges and camshaft with MoS 2 lubricating paste (grey). Insert camshaft into cylinder head.

Caution

Note identification on camshaft bearing caps!

  Install

Attach camshaft bearing caps to cylinder head and tighten using spiral pattern in steps of 1/2 up to 1 turn in sequence illustrated - tightening torque 15 Nm / 11 lbf. ft.

  Install

Insert camshaft sprocket in simplex timing chain.

Attach camshaft sprocket with new fastening bolt to camshaft and tighten by hand.

Object Number: 2395997  Size: DEFAULT


Caution

Ensure that camshaft sprocket is seated squarely on camshaft - camshaft sprocket must sit flat against camshaft.

  Install

Insert and attach Simplex timing chain guide rail (1) with new fastening bolts (2), clean thread beforehand - ensure correct installation position - tightening torque 8 Nm / 6 lbf. ft.

  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

Insert carrier (1) of Adjuster KM-933 (4) vertically into camshaft sprocket.

Install Adjuster KM-933 on cylinder head.

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

Attach camshaft sprocket to camshaft with new fastening bolt - 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 installing a new Simplex 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 all locking and adjusting tools.

Object Number: 2399960  Size: DEFAULT


  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

Apply Test Gauge KM-932 (3) to cylinder head - pin (2) must engage in bore (1) of camshaft.

Object Number: 2395989  Size: DEFAULT


  Remove

Remove all locking tools.

Object Number: 2396008  Size: DEFAULT


  Clean

Clean sealing surfaces on timing case cover and timing case - cover aperture in timing case with lint-free cloth.
