GENERAL – Special Handling Instruments for Towing00-20
SPECIAL HANDLING INSTRUMENTS FOR TOWING
Towing methodsRemarks
If a tow truck is used
Lifting method for 4 wheels – GoodFor 4WD models, the basic principle is that all
four wheels are to be raised before towing.
The shift lever should be set to 1st gear and
the parking brake should be applied.
Front wheels lifted – No goodThe vehicle must not be towed by placing only
its front wheels or only the rear wheels on a
rolling dolly, because to do so will result in
deterioration of the viscous coupling and result
in the viscous coupling causing the vehicle to
jump forward suddenly.
Front wheels lifted – No goodIf only the front wheels or only the rear wheels
are lifted for towing, the bumper will be damaged.
In addition, lifting of the rear wheels causes
the oil to flow forward, and may result in heat
damage to the rear bushing of the transfer, and
so should never be done.
Rear wheels lifted – No good
Towing by rope or cable – GoodThe front and rear wheels must rotate normally.
Both running and driving systems must function
normally.
The shift lever must be set to the neutral position
and the ignition key must be set to “ACC”.

pan and with the tabbed end directed as shown.
EVOLUTION VI
(1) Install the gasket with the tabbed end directed as shown.
(2) Apply sealant to both sides of the oil return pipe gasket
and leave it for 20 minutes to dry before installing. Tighten
the mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Specified sealant:

(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.

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.

VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
(1) Force the valve guide out toward the cylinder block using
a press.
(2) Machine the valve guide hole in the cylinder head to
the size of the oversize valve guide to be installed.
Caution
Do not use the valve guide of the same size as the
removed one.

(3) Press-fit the valve guide until it protrude specified value
19.5 mm as shown in the illustration.
Caution
1. Press the valve guide from the cylinder head top
surface.
2. Valve guide for intake valve and that for exhaust
valve are different in length. (45.5 mm for intake
valve; 50.5 mm for exhaust valve)
(4) After the valve guide has been installed, insert a new
valve to check for smooth sliding motion.
