rods have play, the No. 1 piston is at TDC on the
compression stroke.
If the No. 1 cylinder intake and exhaust valve push
rods are depressed, the No. 4 piston is at TDC on the
compression stroke.

Adjust the No.1 or the No. 4 cylinder valve clearances
while their respective cylinders are at TDC on the
compression stroke.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION









RTW46AMF000401

The 4J series automotive diesel engine has special designed combustion chambers in the piston. This design
provides superior fuel economy over a wide range of driving conditions.
Auto-thermatic pistons with cast steel struts are used to reduce thermal expansion and resulting engine noise when
the engine is cold.
Chrome plated dry type cylinder liners provide the highest durability.
The laminated steel sheet cylinder head gasket is very durable and, to increase the head gasket reliability.
The crankshaft has been tufftrided to provide a longer service life. Because the crankshaft is tufftrided, it cannot be
reground.
The 4JA1T(L) engine is equipped with the BOSCH VE-Type distributor injection pump.
The 4JH1TC and 4JA1TC engine is equipped with the BOSCH VP44-Type distributor injection pump.
The engine is turbocharger equipped.
