REPAIR ENGINE OIL PRESSURE TEST
Service repair no - 12.90.09/01
WARNING: Use suitable exhaust
extraction equipment if an engine test is
being carried out in a workshop.
WARNING: If vehicle has been running,
engine wil be hot; care must be taken
when fitting test equipment to prevent
personal injury.
1.Check that engine lubricant is to correct level.
2.Remove oil pressure switch .
3.Connect pressure test gaugeLRT-12-052A,as
shown.
4.Start and run engine to normal operating
temperature.
5.With engine running at idle check oil pressure,
which should read 1.76 bar (25.87 lbf/in
2).6.If pressure is low it can be caused by the
following:-
Thin or diluted oil.
Low oil in sump.
Choked oil strainer.
Faulty oil pressure relief valve.
Excessively worn or damaged oil pump
displacement gears.
Excessive crankshaft bearing clearance.
7.If excessive pressure is indicated it can be
caused by :-
Overfilling engine with lubricant.
Sticking oil pressure relief valve.
Blockage in breather system.

NOTE: If the camshaft gear is to be
removed during these operations its
retaining bolt should be slackened before
the timing belt is removed.
7.Slacken belt tensioner bolt.
8.Remove idler pulley.
9.Remove timing belt.

evident in the front cover, this is probably
due to the misalignment of the front timing
cover caused by incorrect assembly of the fuel
injection pump bracket.
See FUEL SYSTEM,
Repair, Fuel Injection pump
NOTE: During use, a belt develops a wear
pattern relative to its running direction, if
the original belt is to be re-used it must be
refitted so that it rotates in the original direction.
Mark belt direction of rotation, using soft chalk, to
ensure correct refitment.
CAUTION: The belt must be stored on its
edge on a clean surface and in such a
manner that bends are not less than 50
mm (2.0in.) radius. Do not bend belts at an acute
angle, otherwise premature failure could result.Belt tensioner
NOTE: The belt tensioner need only be
removed if it is being replaced or for
access purposes to remove front cover.

Timing belt fitting and tensioning
NOTE: It is important that belt tensioning
is carried out carefully and accurately. The
following procedure involves tensioning
the belt twice to ensure that it is equally tensioned
between each gear. New and original belts are
tensioned to different figures.

out using a dial type torque meter having a
range not exceeding
60 Nm (44 lbf/ft).The
torque meter should be used in the almost vertical
position.
19.Apply a tension of
15 Nm (11 lbf/ft)for a new
