Setting (with cylinder head installed)
1. Remove the prechamber of No. 1 cylinder.
2. Position the piston of No.1 cylinder at BTDC 10.
3. Install the measuring device into the prechamber bore and
position the dial gauge with a preload of 5mm.
Dial Gauge 001 589 53 21 00
Depth Gauge 601 589 07 21 00
4. Slowly rotate the crankshaft in the direction of engine rotation
until the large pointer on the dial gauge stops (TDC position).
Notice
The position of TDC is when the large pointer on the dial
gauge is stopped before moving back.
5. remove the reinstall the measuring device and position the
dial gauge scale at ‘0’.
6. Slowly rotate the crankshaft in the direction of engine rotation
until the dial gauge has moved back (counterclockwise) by
3.65mm.
7. Insert fixing device into the sensor bracket.
Notice
The pin on the vibration damper must engage into the slot
of the fixing device.
Fixing Device 667 589 01 21 00
8. If the pin does not engage, adjust the setting of the sensor
bracket by removing and tightening of the sensor bracket
bolts.
Tightening Torque 10 Nm
Notice
The timing mark on the damper must be positioned at ATDC
20.

28. Remove the connecting rod bearing cap.
29. Install the piston.
30. Rotate the crankshaft by hand and check whether it rotates
smoothly.
31. If the bearings are damaged,
- replace the oil presser relief valve.
- clean the oil pump and oil filter housing carefully and
replace the hose if necessary.
Notice
After assembling the engine, check the camshaft timing,
adjust the start of fuel injection and check the TDC sensor
bracket setting.
32. Fill oil and run the engine and then check the oil pressure
and oil level.
Notice
Install the original oil filter element and then change the
engine oil and oil filter element after 1,000 - 1,500km. 27. Measure the radial clearance (L) of the connecting rod
bearing.
Example)Measured value ‘J’ = 47.700mm
Measured value ‘K’ = 47.653mm
Clearance ‘L’ = 0.047mm
Radial Clearance ‘L’ 0.026 - 0.068mm
Notice
If the clearance is out of standard, adjust the radial
clearance of connecting rod bearing by replacing the
connecting rod bearing shells. 26. Measure connecting rod bearing journal diameter (K).
Notice
Refer to measurement of the crankshaft bearing journal
diameter.
24. Insert the new connecting rod bearing shells into the
connecting rod and connecting rod bearing cap and tighten
the 12-sided stretch bolts (11).
25. Measure inner diameter of connecting rod bearing.
Tightening Torque 40 Nm + 90°
