(17)Loosen the retaining bolt of the tensioner pulley.
Caution
Loosening the retaining bolt can cause the intake
and exhaust camshafts to turn, resulting in slackened
timing belt. Use care that the timing belt does not
come off the sprockets at this time.
(18)Pull up the slack of the timing belt by turning the tensioner
in illustrated direction using the special tool and a torque
wrench (0 – 5 Nm).
(19)From this position, turn back the tensioner until the torque
wrench reading becomes 3.5 Nm, then secure it by
tightening the retaining bolt.
(20)Remove the special tool attached in step (16).
(21)Rotate the crankshaft clockwise 2 turns. Then, leave it
intact 15 minutes.
(22)Check to see that the wire inserted when installing the
auto-tensioner can be pulled out lightly. If it can be pulled
out lightly, the timing belt is being tensioned properly.
If so, remove the wire. In addition, check that the rod
protrusion from the auto-tensioner meets the standard
value, which is also an indication of properly tensioned
timing belt.
Standard value: 3.8 – 4.5 mm
(23)If the wire cannot be removed with a light force, repeat
steps (16) through (21) until the proper belt tensioner
is obtained.
INSPECTION
TIMING BELT
Replace belt if any of the following conditions exist.
(1) Hardening of back rubber.
Back side is glossy without resilience and leaves no indent
when pressed with fingernail.
(2) Cracks on rubber back.
(3) Cracks or peeling of canvas.
(4) Cracks on rib root.
(5) Cracks on belt sides.

(6) Abnormal wear of belt sides. The sides are normal if
they are sharp as if cut by a knife.
(7) Abnormal wear on teeth.
(8) Missing tooth.
AUTO TENSIONER
(1) Check the auto tensioner for possible leaks and replace
as necessary.
(2) Check the rod end for wear or damage and replace as
necessary.
(3) Measure the rod protrusion. If it is out of specification,
replace the auto tensioner.
Standard value: 12 mm
(4) Press the rod with a force of 98 to 196 N and measure
its protrusion.
(5) If the measured value is 1 mm or more shorter than the
value obtained in step (3), replace the auto tensioner.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
AINJECTORS INSTALLATION
(1) Before installing an injector, the rubber O-ring must be
lubricated with a drop of clean engine oil to aid in
installation.
(2) Install injector top end. Be careful not to damage O-ring
during installation.
BFUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR INSTALLATION
(1) Apply a small amount of new engine oil to the O-ring.
Insert the fuel pressure regulator into the delivery pipe
being careful not to damage the O-ring.
Caution
Be sure not to let engine oil get into the delivery
pipe.
(2) Check that the fuel pressure regulator turns smoothly.
If it does not turn smoothly, the O-ring may be trapped.
Remove the fuel pressure regulator and check the O-ring
for damage, and then re-insert it into the delivery pipe
and check once again.

ALASH ADJUSTER INSTALLATION
Caution
If the lash adjuster is re-used, clean the lash adjuster.
Fit the lash adjuster onto rocker arm without allowing diesel
fuel to spill out.
BCAMSHAFT INSTALLATION
(1) Apply engine oil to the journals and cams of the camshafts.
Install the camshafts on the cylinder head.
Use care not to confuse the intake camshaft with the
exhaust one. The intake camshaft has a slit on its rear
end for driving the crankshaft position sensor.
(2) Install the crankshaft sprocket B or spacer and flange
to one end of the crankshaft, and turn the crankshaft
until the timing marks are lined up, setting No. 1 cylinder
to the TDC.
(3) Set the camshafts so that their dowel pins are positioned
at top.
CBEARING CAP INSTALLATION
(1) According to the identification mark stamped on the top
of each bearing cap, install the caps to the cylinder head.
Only “L” or “R” is stamped on front bearing cap. Cap
No. is stamped on No. 2 to No. 5 bearing caps. Rear
bearing cap has no stamping.
I: For intake camshaft side
E: For exhaust camshaft side
(2) Tighten the bearing caps in the order shown two to three
times by torquing progressively.
Tighten to the specification in the final sequence.
(3) Check to ensure that the rocker arm is positioned correctly
on the lash adjuster and valve stem end.

DCAMSHAFT OIL SEAL INSTALLATION
(1) Apply engine oil to lib area of the oil seal and the front
end outside diameter of the camshaft.
(2) Using special tool install the camshaft oil seals.

INSTALLATION
(1) Set the No. 1 cylinder to the compression top dead center
position (so that dowel pin of the exhaust camshaft is
at the top).
(2) Install the camshaft position sensing cylinder so that the
white paint mark is facing in the direction shown in the
illustration.

ROCKER ARM
(1) Check the roller surface. If any dents, damage or seizure
is evident, replace the rocker arm.
(2) Check rotation of the roller. If it does not rotate smoothly
or if looseness is evident, replace the rocker arm.
(3) Check the inside diameter. If damage or seizure is evident,
replace the rocker arm.

(9) Remove the lash adjuster from the container, then stand
the lash adjuster with its plunger at the top. Push the
plunger firmly and check that it does not move. Also,
check that the lash adjuster’s height matches that of a
new lash adjuster.
NOTE
If lash adjuster contracts, perform the operations (7)
through (9) again to fill it with diesel fuel completely.
Replace the lash adjuster if it still contracts after performing
these steps.
(10)Stand the lash adjuster upright to prevent diesel fuel from
spilling out. Do not allow the lash adjuster to become
contaminated by dirt or other foreign matter. Fit the lash
adjuster onto the engine as soon as possible.

BVALVE SPRING INSTALLATION
Direct the valve spring end with identification color toward
the spring retainer.
CRETAINER LOCK INSTALLATION
The valve spring, if excessively compressed, causes the
bottom end of the retainer to be in contact with, and damage,
the stem seal.
DCYLINDER HEAD BOLT INSTALLATION
(1) When installing the cylinder head bolts, check that the
shank length of each bolt meets the limit. If the limit is
exceeded, replace the bolt.
Limit: Max. 99.4 mm
(2) Apply engine oil to the bolt threads and to the washers.
(3) Using the special tool (MB991654) and according to the
tightening sequence, tighten the bolts to the specified
torque.
Tightening torque: 78 Nm
(4) Loosen all bolts fully.
(5) Retighten the loosened bolts to a torque of 20 Nm in
the specified tightening sequence.

(6) Make paint marks on the cylinder head bolt heads and
cylinder head.
(7) Give a 90° turn to the cylinder head bolts in the specified
tightening sequence.
(8) Give another 90° turn to the cylinder head bolts and make
sure that the paint mark on the head of each cylinder
head bolt and that on the cylinder head are on the same
straight line.
Caution
1. If the bolt is turned less than 90°, proper fastening
performance may not be expected. When
tightening the bolt, therefore, be careful to give
a sufficient turn to it.
2. If the bolt is overtightened, loosen the bolt
completely and then retighten it by repeating the
tightening procedure from step (1).
INSPECTION
CYLINDER HEAD
(1) Check the cylinder head gasket surface for flatness by
using a straightedge and thickness gauge.
Standard value: 0.05 mm
Limit: 0.2 mm
(2) If the service limit is exceeded, correct to meet
specification.

VALVE SEAT RECONDITIONING PROCEDURE
(1) Before correcting the valve seat, check for clearance
between the valve guide and valve and, if necessary,
replace the valve guide.
(2) Using the seat grinder, correct to obtain the specified
seat width and angle.
(3) After correcting the valve seat, lap the valve and valve
seat using lapping compound. Then, check the valve
stem projection (refer to VALVE SEAT in INSPECTION).
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
(1) Cut the valve seat to be replaced from the inside to thin
the wall thickness. Then, remove the valve seat.
(2) Rebore the valve seat hole in the cylinder head to a
selected oversize valve seat diameter.
