ENGINE – Timing Belt11-21
IOIL PUMP SPROCKET INSTALLATION
(1) Insert a Phillips screwdriver (shank diameter 8 mm shaft)
through the plug hole on the left side of the cylinder
block to block the left counterbalance shaft.
(2) Install the oil pump sprocket.
(3) Apply a proper amount of engine oil to the bearing surfaces
of the nuts.
(4) Tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
JAUTO TENSIONER INSTALLATION
(1) If the auto tensioner rod is in its fully extended position,
reset it as follows.
(2) Clamp the auto-tensioner in the vise with soft jaws.
(3) Push in the rod little by little with the vise until the set
hole A in the rod is aligned with the hole B in the cylinder.
(4) Insert a wire (1.4 mm in diameter) into the set holes.
(5) Unclamp the auto tensioner from the vise.
(6) Install the auto tensioner to front case and tighten to
the specified torque.
Caution
Leave the wire installed in the auto tensioner.
KTENSIONER PULLEY INSTALLATION
Install the tensioner pulley in such direction that its two small
holes are arranged vertically.

(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

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.

(4) Removal the lash adjuster from the container. Then, push
down the steel ball gently and push the plunger to eliminate
diesel fuel from the pressure chamber.
Caution
Make sure the oil hole in the side of the body is pointing
toward container A. Do not point the oil hole at yourself
or other people.
(5) Place the lash adjuster in container B. Then, gently push
down the internal steel ball using wire (0.5 mm in diameter)
or special tool MD998442 and move the plunger through
5 to 10 strokes until it slides smoothly. This operation
will clean the lash adjuster’s pressure chamber.
Caution
The steel ball spring is extremely weak, so the lash
adjuster’s functionality may be lost if the air bleed
wire is pushed in hard.
(6) Remove the lash adjuster from the container. Then, push
down the steel ball gently and push the plunger to eliminate
diesel fuel from the pressure chamber.
Caution
Make sure the oil hole in the side of the body is pointing
toward container A. Do not point the oil hole at yourself
or other people.
(7) Place the lash adjuster in container C. Then, gently push
down the internal steel ball using wire (0.5 mm in diameter)
or special tool MD998442.
Caution
Do not use container C for cleaning. If cleaning is
performed in container C, foreign matter could enter
the pressure chamber when chamber is filled with
diesel fuel.
(8) Stand the lash adjuster with its plunger at the top, then
push the plunger downward firmly until it moves through
its greatest possible stroke. Return the plunger slowly,
then release the steel ball and allow the pressure chamber
to fill with diesel fuel.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
PRECAUTION FOR REMOVED PARTS
Keep removed parts in order according to the cylinder number
and intake/exhaust.
ACYLINDER HEAD BOLTS REMOVAL
Using the special tool, loosen the cylinder head bolts. Loosen
evenly, little by little.
BRETAINER LOCK REMOVAL
Store removed valves, springs and other parts, tagged to
indicate their cylinder No. and location for reassembly.
CVALVE HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
(1) Sodium reacts violently with water or moisture generation
heat and liberating hydrogen. It must be handled with
utmost care because otherwise the following dangerous
conditions may result:
Loss of eyesight if sodium gets in eyes.
Burns if soduim contact skin.
Fire hazard.
(2) Handling of Soduim-filled Exhaust Valves
Soduim-filled exhaust valves are not dangerous and may
be handled in the same way as ordinary valves unless
they are broken.
Never try to break the valves and expose soduim to the
air. When worn exhaust valves are to be discarded, have
them disposed of by a salvage company equipped with
special disposal system, notifying them that the valves
contain soduim.
Should the exhaust valves be broken, neutralize soduim
using the method described below, and discard the valves
in the same way as ordinary valves.

(3) How to Neutralize Sodium
Place a container filled with more than 10 liters of water
in a well ventilated large space.
Wear rubber gloves and goggles, and carefully take out
broken valves from the cylinder head.
Put a broken valve in the water-filled container and quickly
get away from the container at least 2 or 3 m.
Caution
1. Valves must be neutralized one at a time.
2. Put a valve in the container only after soduim
in the preceding one has completely reacted with
water.
Keep fire away from the container during the
neutralization. The resulting hydrogen gas is highly
explosive.
When the reaction has finished (there is no more
generation of hydrogen gas), take the valves out of the
container with large tweezers or the like.
NOTE
The reaction occurs when water enters the cavity in the
valve. Hydrogen gas may be trapped inside the valve,
temporarily blocking the water passage. In such a case,
wait until hydrogen gas in released and remaining soduim
reacts with water.
After the neutralization of soduim, water in the container
contains soduim hydroxide and is highly alkaline. The
water solution should be disposed of according to local
regulations.
Caution
1. Do not let the solution contact the eyes or the
skin.
2. Should it get in the eyes, immediately flush them
with clean water thoroughly, and receive medical
attention. When it contacts the skin, wash with
ample amounts of clean water.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
AVALVE STEM SEAL INSTALLATION
(1) Install the valve spring seat.
(2) The special tool must be used to install the valve stem
seal. Improper installation could result in oil leaks past
the valve guide.
Caution
Do not reuse removed valve stem seals.
