8.Remove and discard RH front exhaust
camshaft cap seal from cylinder head.
9.Position LRT-12-175 to rear camshaft gears as
illustrated, remove and discard bolts securing
gears to camshafts.
10.Remove rear camshaft gears, timing belt and
special tool as an assembly.
CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft or the
camshafts while the timing belt is removed.
11.If camshaft timing belt is to be refitted, mark
direction of rotation on timing belt.12.Remove LRT-12-175 from camshaft gears and
remove timing belt from gears.
CAUTION: Camshaft timing belts must be
stored and handled with care. Always store
a camshaft timing belt on its edge with a
bend radius greater than 50 mm (2.0 in). Do
not use a camshaft timing belt that has been
twisted or bent double as this will damage
the reinforcing fibres. Do not use a
camshaft timing belt if debris other than belt
dust is found in timing belt covers. Do not
use a camshaft timing belt if partial engine
seizure has occurred. Do not use a
camshaft timing belt if mileage exceeds
72,000 km (45,000 miles). Do not use an oil
or coolant contaminated timing belt, cause
of contamination must be rectified.

NOTE: Following front or rear timing belt
refitment, it is possible that after rotating the
engine and positioning the crankshaft pulley to
the 'SAFE' position, the timing marks on the
rear timing gears may be misaligned. This
misalignment is acceptable provided that the
timing belt refitting procedure was carried out
correctly.
1.Clean camshaft gears and mating faces on
camshafts.
CAUTION: If the sintered gears have been
subjected to prolonged oil contamination,
they must be soaked in a solvent bath and
then thoroughly washed in clean solvent
before refitting. Because of the porous
construction of sintered material, oil
impregnated in the gears will emerge and
contaminate the belt.
2.Place gears inverted on a flat surface, with the
locating lugs on the gears positioned as
illustrated.3.Keeping the timing marks aligned, position
timing belt onto gears.
4.Position LRT-12-195 between the gears, turn
centre nut sufficiently to spread drive belt.
5.Invert gears and timing belt and position LRT-
12-175 to camshaft gears.
6.Check that the locating lugs are correctly
aligned and remove LRT-12-195 from between
camshaft gears.

2.Cylinder liners have their bore/grade and step
height determined at manufacture. The bore/
grade, red, blue (A) or (B), and step heights V
or Z together with the cylinder liner part number
and colour code are marked on the external
diameter of the cylinder liners. If cylinder(s) are
to be replaced, the replacement liner(s) must
have the same step height as the original
liner(s). Both step heights are available in red
(A) and blue (B) grades of cylinder liners.

3.Check pistons for distortion and cracks.
NOTE: Piston grades A or B are stamped on
the crown of the piston.
4. Piston diameter check: Measure piston
diameter at right angles to gudgeon pin and 8
mm (0.3 in) from bottom of skirt.

NOTE: Piston and connecting rods are only
supplied as an assembly.
CAUTION: Ensure pistons are retained with
their respective cylinder liners.

clearance 20 mm (0.75 in) from bottom of
cylinder liner.

compression piston rings 20 mm (0.75 in) from
top of cylinder bore and measure ring gaps.

+ GENERAL DATA, Engine - KV6

CAUTION: Ensure piston rings are kept
square to liner bore. Retain rings with the
piston fitted to the liner in which they were
checked.
7. Piston rings - refit:Using a suitable expander,
fit oil control spring.
8.With 'TOP' or identification markings to top of
piston, use an expander to fit piston rings in
sequence; oil control, 2nd and top
compression.
NOTE: The second compression ring is
stepped.

9.Ensure rings are free to rotate, position
compression ring gaps A and B at 120° to each
other and away from thrust side. Position oil
control ring gap C and spring gap D at 30° on
opposite side of gudgeon pin axis.
10.Check clearance of each piston ring to its
respective groove.

1.Clean cylinder liners and liner recess in cylinder
block.
2.Lubricate cylinder liner bores, pistons and rings
with clean engine oil, ensure ring gaps are
correctly spaced.
3.Clean bearing shell recesses in connecting
rods and bearing caps.
4.Fit piston ring clamp, LRT-12-204 to each
piston in turn and fit piston to its respective
cylinder liner ensuring that when fitted, arrow
on piston crown will be towards front of engine.
CAUTION: Do not push pistons fully down
bores at this stage.
5.Remove piston ring clamp.
6.Apply a 2.00 mm (0.1 in) thick continuous bead
of sealant, Part No. RTC 3347, around
shoulder of each cylinder liner as shown.
7.Keeping cylinder liner 'square' to cylinder block,
push each liner fully down until shoulder of liner
seats against cylinder block ensuring that the
arrow on the piston is towards front of engine.
8.To prevent cylinder liners from being displaced,
position LRT-12-144 cylinder liner clamps and
secure to cylinder block with cylinder head
bolts. Ensure that feet of clamps do not
protrude over liner bores.
