INJECTION TIMING CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT


1.Warm up the engine until the engine coolant temperature is 80 - 90°C.
2.Remove all of the glow plugs.


3.
caution
  • If the dent on the hexagonal section of the camshaft faces up ward, the No. 1 piston is at the TDC on the compression stroke. If not, rotate the crankshaft on more turn normal direction.
  • Be sure not to turn the crankshaft in anti-clockwise as this can cause a damage of the tensioner which adjust the timing chain tension at timing gear. If the crankshaft is turned in the anti-clock wise, remove the tensioner and re-install it.
Align the notch of the crankshaft pulley with the "0" to set the No. 1 cylinder to compression top dead centre position.
note Remove the filler cap, and check the condition of the camshaft. If the projection on the camshaft faces up, the No. 1 cylinder is at compression top dead centre.

4.Before installation of special tool, make sure that push rod is protruding by 12 mm.
note Notch of push rod can be adjusted with an inner nut.

5.Connect the dial gauge to the special tool.
6.Put the dial gauge on the push rod until its needle starts to move, and hold the dial gauge using the securing screw.
note Hold the dial gauge within 0.5 mm after its needle has moved.
7.Remove the timing check plug of the injection pump and the gasket, and then install the special tool.
note
  1. Check that the timing check plug is attached to the gasket which was removed.
  2. If it is not attached, it may have fallen down or still be attached to the pump, so it should be checked.
8.Hold the special tool at the position where the dial gauge needle starts to move.
note The special tool can be turned within one turn if the dial gauge is difficult to read.

9.Turn the crankshaft one more in the clockwise direction to set the No. 1 cylinder approximately 30° before compression top dead centre.
10.Set the needle of the dial gauge to 0.
11.Check that the needle doesn’t move even if the crankshaft is turned slightly (2 - 3°) in both clock wise and anti-clockwise direction.

12.Turn the crankshaft in the clockwise direction to align the crankshaft notch to 7° ATDC.
13.Check that the value indicated on the dial gauge is at the standard value.
Standard value: 1 ± 0.03 mm


14.If the needle is outside the standard value, adjust the injection timing by the following procedure.
(1)
caution When loosening the union nuts, hold the delivery valve holders with a spanner so that they don’t turn at the same time.
Loosen the injection pipe union nuts (4 places) and the injection pump fixing bolts and nuts in that order. (Don’t remove the bolts and nuts.)
(2) Tilt the injection pump to the left and right and adjust the needle on the dial gauge so that the display value is uniform.
(3) Provisionally tighten the mounting nuts and bolt of the injection pump.
(4) Repeat steps 9 - 13 to check if the adjustment has been made correctly.
(5) Tighten the mounting nuts and bolt securely.
(6)
caution When tightening the union nuts, hold the delivery valve holders with a spanner so that they don’t turn at the same time.
Tighten the injection pipe union nuts securely.
15.Remove the special tool.
16.Install a new gasket to the timing check plug.
17.Tighten the timing check plug securely.
