TIMING BELT
Remove
1.Remove front cover plate.
See Front Cover
Plate
2.Position engine at TDC on No. 1 cylinder.
3.If manual gearbox: Remove blanking plug from
flywheel housing and insert timing tool
LRT-12-044. If EDC - timing tool LRT-12-085
must be used.
If automatic gearbox:Sited to the rear of the
engine sump on engine backplate is a blanking
plate. Remove 2 blanking plate bolts and insert
timing tool LRT-12-044 into the larger bolt hole.
4.Engage timing tool pin with slot in flywheel.
5.Check correct alignment of timing mark on
camshaft gear and that crankshaft key aligns
with cast arrow on housing.
6.Insert pin from special tool LRT-12-045 in
injection pump gear and through into pump
flange.
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.
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.
CAUTION: Belts must be stored on edge
on a clean surface and in such a manner
that bends are not less than 50 mm radius.
Do not bend belts at an acute angle or radius of
less than 50 mm, otherwise premature failure
could result.
10.Mark belt direction of rotation, using soft chalk,
to ensure correct refitment.

REPAIR 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.
28.Ensure timing marks are correctly aligned, pin
from special tool LRT-12-045 is correctly
inserted in injection pump gear and timing tool
LRT-12-044 (LRT-12-085 if EDC) is fitted to
flywheel housing with pin located in flywheel slot.
Or if automatic: Timing tool LRT-12-044 is fitted
to engine backplate and pin located in ring gear.
29.Fit belt observing rotational marks made during
removal. Feed belt over gears keeping it tight on
drive side.
30.Fit idler pulley.
31.Slacken injection pump gear retaining bolts.
32.Adjust belt to correctly sit in gears.
33.Slacken belt tensioner securing bolt to finger
tight.
34.Insert 13 mm square drive extension bar in
tensioner plate.
NOTE: Belt tensioning should be carried
out using a dial type torque meter having a
range not exceeding
60 Nm.The torque
meter should be used in the almost vertical
position.
35.Apply a tension of
14 to 16 Nmfor a new belt or
11 to 13 Nmfor an original belt. When tension
is correct tighten clamp bolt.
36.Tighten injection pump gear bolts.
37.Remove pin from injection pump gear.
38.Disengage timing pin from timing slot in flywheel
or ring gear.
39.Rotate crankshaft one and three quarter turns in
a clockwise direction; then continue rotation until
timing pin in timing tool can be engaged with slot
in flywheel or ring gear.
40.Disengage timing pin.
41.Insert pin from special tool LRT-12-045 in
injection pump gear and through into pump
flange.
42.Slacken injection pump gear retaining bolts.
43.Slacken tensioner and retension belt.
44.Tighten injection pump gear retaining bolts.
45.Remove pin from injection pump gear.
46.Remove timing tool and refit plug.
47.Fit front cover plate using new gaskets.

NOTE: To prevent excessive flywheel
run-out, ensure that the mating faces of
the flywheel and crankshaft are clean.Refit
8.Locate the flywheel on the crankshaft and
secure with new patched retaining bolts,
progressively tighten to
147 Nm.
9.Check the flywheel for possible run-out by
mounting a dial test indicator with the stylus in a
loaded condition resting on the flywheel face at a
radius of 114mm from the centre.
10.Turn the flywheel and check that run-out does
not exceed 0,05 to 0,07mm. Should run-out be
excessive, remove the flywheel and check again
for irregularities on the crankshaft and flywheel
mating faces and the dowel.
11.Reverse removal procedure. 1 to 6.
