START, OR WILL NOT
START, SMOKE FROM
EXHAUST1. Incorrect starting procedure. 1. The fuel shutoff solenoid control must be in the
run position. Ensure the proper procedure is being
used.
2. Cranking speed to slow. 2. Check the battery, starter motor and look for
loose or corroded wiring connections.
3. Cylinder head heater plugs defective. 3. Verify system is working. Verify connection
between heater plug relay and ECU. Repair/replace
inoperative parts.
4. Insufficient intake air 4. Inspect or replace air filter and check for
obstruction in air supply.
5. Air in fuel system or the fuel supply is
inadequate.5. Check the fuel flow through the filter and bleed
system. Locate and eliminate the air source.
6. Contaminated fuel. 6. Verify by operating the engine with clean fuel
from a temporary tank. Check for the presence of
gasoline. Drain and flush fuel supply tank. Replace
fuel/water separator filter.
7. Fuel screen plugged. 7. Check fuel screen.
8. One or more injectors worn or not operating
properly.8. Check/replace improperly operating injectors.
9. Injector pump out of time. 9. Check pump timing. Refer to Group 14, Fuel
System for procedure.
10. Engine compression low. 10. Check compression to identify the problem.
11. Fuel injection system defective. 11. Vacuum modulator defective causing EGR to
open in cold condition. Check for fault codes in the
ECU.

LUBRICATING OIL LOSS
(CONT.)6. Turbocharger leaking oil into the
air intake.6. Inspect air duct for evidence of oil
transfer.
7. Piston rings not sealing (oil being
consumed by the engine).7. Perform blow-by check. Repair as
required.
COMPRESSION KNOCKS 1. Air in fuel system. 1. Bleed the fuel system (refer to
Group 14, Fuel System).
2. Poor quality fuel or water/gasoline
contaminated fuel.2. Verify by operating from a
temporary tank with good fuel. Clean
and flush the fuel supply tank.
Replace fuel/water separator.
3. Engine Overloaded. 3. Verify the engine load rating is not
being exceeded.
4. Improperly operating injectors. 4. Check and replace injectors.
5. Fuel injection system defective. 5a. Instrumented injection. 5b. Timing
solenoid of the fuel pump. 5c. Pre
and post heat time of the glow plugs.
Check the fault codes in the ECU.
EXCESSIVE ENGINE NOISES 1. Drive belt squeal, insufficient
tension or abnormally high loading.1. Inspect the drive belts. Make sure
water pump pulley, generator and
power steering all turn freely.
2. Intake air and exhaust leak. 2. Refer to excessive exhaust smoke.
(Engine Diagnosis and Testing)
3. Excessive valve lash. 3. Make sure the rocker arms are not
bent. Defective hydraulic lash
adjuster.
4. Turbocharger noise. 4. Check turbocharger impeller and
turbine wheel for housing contact.
5. Power function knock. 5. Check and replace rod and main
bearings.
6. Fuel injection system defective. 6a. Instrumented injection. 6b. Timing
solenoid of the fuel pump. 6c. Pre

Check the fault codes in the ECU.
NS/GSENGINE 9 - 45
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
(3) Install cylinder head cover, torque nuts to 14.7
N´m (132 in. lbs.).
(4) Install coolant pressure tank.
(5) Install breather hose.
(6) Install generator bracket, tighten bolts to 7
N´m (4 ft. lbs.).
(7) Connect the service valves to the A/C compres-
sor ports, if equipped with air conditioning.
(8) Connect battery cable.
VALVE SPRINGSÐCYLINDER HEAD NOT
REMOVED
This procedure can be done with the engine cylin-
der head installed on the block.
REMOVAL
Each valve spring is held in place by a retainer
and a set of conical valve locks. The locks can be
removed only by compressing the valve spring.
(1) Remove the engine cylinder head cover, refer to
cylinder head cover removal in this section.
(2) Remove rocker arms assemblies for access to
each valve spring to be removed.
(3) Remove push rods. Retain the push rods, and
rocker arms assemblies in the same order and posi-
tion as removed.
(4) Inspect the springs and retainer for cracks and
possible signs of weakening.
(5) Install an air hose adaptor in the fuel injector
hole.
(6) Connect an air hose to the adapter and apply
air pressure slowly. Maintain at least 621 kPa (90psi) of air pressure in the cylinder to hold the valves
against their seats.
(7) Tap the retainer or tip with a rawhide hammer
to loosen the lock from the retainer. Use Valve Spring
Compressor Tool to compress the spring and remove
the locks.
(8) Remove valve spring and retainer.
Inspect the valve stems, especially the grooves. An
Arkansas smooth stone should be used to remove
nicks and high spots.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install valve spring and retainer.
(2) Compress the valve spring with Valve Spring
Compressor Tool and insert the valve locks. Release
the spring tension and remove the tool. Tap the
spring from side-to-side to ensure that the spring is
seated properly on the engine cylinder head.
(3) Disconnect the air hose. Remove the adaptor
from the fuel injector hole and install the fuel injec-
tor.
(4) Repeat the procedures for each remaining valve
spring to be removed.
(5) Install the push rods. Ensure the bottom end of
each rod is centered in the plunger cap seat of the
hydraulic valve tappet.
(6) Install the rocker arm assemblies, at their orig-
inal location.
(7) Tighten the rocker arm assembly nut to 106
N´m (78 ft. lbs.) torque.
(8) Install the engine cylinder head cover, refer to
cylinder head cover installation in this section.
CYLINDER HEAD
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery cable.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE CYLINDER
BLOCK DRAIN PLUGS OR LOOSEN THE RADIATOR
DRAIN COCK WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND PRES-
SURIZED BECAUSE SERIOUS BURNS FROM THE
COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
(2) Drain the cooling system. Refer to Group 7,
Cooling.
(3) Remove wiper module. Refer to Group 8K,
Windshield Wiper Unit Removal for procedure.
(4) Remove coolant pressure bottle.
(5) Remove intercooler hose at intake manifold
(Fig. 23).
(6) Remove intercooler hose at turbocharger inter-
cooler tube.
(7) Remove the upper radiator hose.
(8) Remove water manifold.
(9) Disconnect the heater hoses and coolant pres-
sure bottle hoses.
