GENERAL – Precautions Before Service00-16
SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Before replacing a component related to the electrical system
and before undertaking any repair procedures involving the
electrical system, be sure to first disconnect the negative
(–) cable from the battery in order to avoid damage caused
by short-circuiting.
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the negative (–) cable,
be sure to turn off the ignition switch and the lighting
switch.
(If this is not done, there is the possibility of
semiconductor parts being damaged.)
APPLICATION OF ANTI-CORROSION AGENTS
AND UNDERCOATS
If oil or grease gets onto the oxygen sensor, it will cause
a drop in the performance of the sensor.
Cover the oxygen sensor with a protective cover when applying
anti-corrosion agents and undercoats.
PRE-INSPECTION CONDITION
“Pre-inspection condition” refers to the condition that the
vehicle must be in before proper engine inspection can be
carried out. If you see the words “Set the vehicle to the
pre-inspection condition.” in this manual, it means to set the
vehicle to the following condition.
Engine coolant temperature: 80–90C
Lamps, electric cooling fan and all accessories: OFF
M/T: Neutral
VEHICLE WASHING
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to note the
following information in order to avoid damage to plastic
components, etc.
Spray nozzle distance: Approx. 40 cm or more
Spray pressure: 3,900 kPa or less
Spray temperature: 82C or less
Time of concentrated spray to one point: within 30 sec.
Approx.
40 cm

NEW TIGHTENING METHOD – BY USE OF BOLTS TO BE TIGHTENED IN
PLASTIC AREA
A new type of bolts, to be tightened in plastic area, is currently used some parts of the engine. The
tightening method for the bolts is different from the conventional one. Be sure to observe the method
described in the text when tightening the bolts.
Service limits are provided for the bolts. Make sure that the service limits described in the text are strictly
observed.

Areas where the bolts are in use:
(1) Cylinder head bolts
(2) Main bearing cap bolts
(3) Connecting rod cap bolts

Tightening method
After tightening the bolts to the specified torque, tighten them another 90° or 180° (twice 90°). The
tightening method varies on different areas. Observe the tightening method described in the text.

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.
CGASKET INSTALLATION
Position the projection as shown in the illustration.

(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.

GEAR INSTALLATION
Apply engine oil amply to the gears and line up the alignment
marks.
HFRONT CASE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
(1) Set the special tool on the front end of crankshaft and
apply a thin coat of engine oil to the outer circumference
of the special tool to install the front case.
(2) Install the front case assembly through a new front case
gasket and temporarily tighten the flange bolts (other
than those for tightening the filter bracket).
