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.

Refit
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.

each camshaft.
8.Position timing belt and gears over LRT-12-198
and locate gears onto camshafts.
9.Position LRT-12-197 into the front end of the
RH exhaust camshaft.
10.With assistance, using a 30 mm socket on LRT-
12-197, turn the RH exhaust camshaft
sufficiently to align camshaft gears to the drive
slots in each camshaft.11.Remove LRT-12-198 alignment pins and fit
new camshaft gear retaining bolts.

2.Remove LRT-12-144 cylinder liner clamps from
cylinder block.
3.Suitably identify each cylinder liner to its fitted
position in cylinder block.
4.With assistance, position cylinder block to
enable each piston and cylinder liner to be
removed.
5.Carefully push each piston assembly and
cylinder liner from cylinder block.
CAUTION: Suitably identify each piston with
its respective cylinder liner.6.Remove piston assemblies from liners, keep
liners in their fitted order.
7.Refit caps onto connecting rods, lightly tighten
dowel bolts.
8.Using a suitable expander, remove and discard
piston rings from each piston.
9.Using a squared off end of an old piston ring,
remove carbon from piston ring grooves.
Inspect
1. Cylinder liner bores: Measure wear and taper
in two axis 65 mm (2.5 in) from top of cylinder
liner bore The cylinder liner grade is marked on
outside diameter of liner.
CAUTION: Cylinder liners with excessively
glazed, worn, scratched or scored bores
must be replaced. DO NOT attempt to hone
or remove glazing from bore. Ensure that if
original liners are to be refitted, reference
marks made during dismantling are not
erased.

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.
5.Position piston in cylinder liner and measure
clearance 20 mm (0.75 in) from bottom of
cylinder liner.

Petrol.6. Piston ring gap: Position new top and second
compression piston rings 20 mm (0.75 in) from
top of cylinder bore and measure ring gaps.

Petrol.
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.
