INJECTION TIMING
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Release the CSD using the screw driver.
3. Remove the cover on the clutch housing.
4. Turn the flywheel and set the indicator at ATDC.
5. Disconnect the injection pipes from the injection
pump.
76G04D-008
6. Remove the hydraulic head plug from the injec-
tion pump.
7. Mount the SST into the plug hole on the hydraulic
head so the tip of the dial gauge pointer touches
the plunger end of the pump and the dial gauge
indicates approx. 2.0 mm (0.08 in).
76G04D-009
8. Turn the crankshaft slowly counterclockwise to
30-50° BTDC.
9. Make sure the dial indicator pointer no longer
moves by slightly turning the crankshaft.
10. Set the dial gauge scale to Zero at the pointer.

Removal note
Timing belt
1. Aligh the timing marks of each pulleys.
2. Affix the injection pump pulley to the bracket us-
ing two bolts (35—40 mm, 1.4—1.6 in).
Caution
a) Do not turn in the reverse direction of en-
gine revolution.
b) After removing the timing belt, do not ro-
tate the crankshaft pulley or camshaft
pulley.
3. Make the forward direction arrow on the timing belt.
Note
Direction arrow is to reassemble the timing
belt in the same direction.
4. Loosen the timing belt tensioner bolt.
5. Shift the tensioner outwards as far as possible, and
temporarily tighten it.
6. Suspend the engine with chain block on the front
engine hanger.
7. Remove the No.3 engine mount.
8. Remove the timing belt.
Caution
Do not allow any oil or grease on the timing
belt.
Inspection and Repair
Inspect the following parts. (Refer to page 1C—60,
61).
