ENGINE - TD5
12-1-26 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Camshaft cover and engine cover components
The camshaft cover and engine cover components are described below:
Camshaft cover
The camshaft cover is cast from aluminium alloy and is fixed to the camshaft carrier/cylinder head assembly by 13
bolts. The cover has spacers and sealing washers inserted into each of the thirteen bolt holes.
A breather hose is connected to a port at the top of the camshaft cover by means of a hose clip which vents crankcase
gases back to the air intake via a breather valve in the air intake tract, located forward of the turbocharger in the
flexible air intake duct.
A rubber seal is fitted between the camshaft cover.
An oil filler aperture is included in the top of the camshaft cover, which is sealed with a plastic cap with integral rubber
seal.
Camshaft timing chain components
The timing chain cover and timing chain components are described below:
Timing chain cover
The timing chain cover is cast and machined aluminium alloy and is attached to the cylinder head by a bolt at the RH
top of the cover and by a stud and nut at the LH top of the cover. Eight screws are used to attach the timing chain
cover to the front of the engine block. The timing cover is located to the cylinder block front face by two dowels.
A viscous fan is attached to an idler pulley at the front of the engine block. The fan bearing is located on a shaft and
held in place by a circlip and a bearing flange, the inner race of the fan bearing is an interference fit on the shaft. The
fan idler pulley is attached to the bearing hub by three bolts, and the fan itself is secured to the pulley and bearing
shaft by a left hand threaded nut.
+ COOLING SYSTEM - Td5, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
The front of the crankshaft passes through a hole in the lower part of the timing cover. An oil seal is pressed into a
recess in the front of the timing cover to seal the interface between the front of the crankshaft and the timing cover.
A stub pipe is fitted to the front RH side of the timing cover which is used to attach the oil drain pipe from the vacuum
pump by means of a hose and spring clip.
Timing chains
The timing chain between the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets is a duplex type, each chain having 56 links. The
timing chain is contained between a fixed plastic guide and an hydraulically adjustable plastic tensioner arm which
are attached to the front of the engine block.
To cope with higher injection loads of the EU3 engine, the timing drive between the camshaft and crankshaft has been
upgraded. This requires thicker chain links to be used, therefore, the individual pre EU3 and EU3 components are not
interchangeable.
To distinguish between the two timing chains the links are different colours. A pre EU3 chain has blue links and a EU3
chain has bronze links.
The oil pump timing chain is a single type and traverses the oil pump sprocket and the rear crankshaft sprocket.
The timing chains are oil lubricated, with oil being provided by a chain lubrication jet and from oil flow returning back
to the sump from the cylinder head. An oil hole is included at the front left hand side of the cylinder head which supplies
oil from the cylinder head oil galleries.

24.Compare figures obtained with camshaft
bearing clearance:
lCamshaft bearing clearance = 0.04 to 0.10
mm (0.002 to 0.004 in)
25.If any bearing clearance is found to exceed
figures given, repeat the above procedures
using a new camshaft. If, after repeating the
clearance check using a new camshaft the
clearances are still excessive, a new cylinder
head and camshaft carrier assembly must be
fitted.
26.Remove all traces of Plastigage using an oily
cloth, do not use a scraper.
27.On completion, discard camshaft carrier bolts.
28.Check free length of valve springs:
lFree length = 46.75 to 47.25 mm (1.84 to
1.86 in)
29. Replace valve springs as a set, if springs
are to be refitted, keep them in their fitted
order.
30.Clean carbon from valves, check valves for
burning, pitting or cracking; replace as
necessary.
31.Clean carbon from valve seat inserts, remove
all loose particles on completion.
32.Check valve seat inserts for pitting and burning.
It is not permissible to recut or replace valve
seat inserts.
33.Remove carbon deposits from valve guides
using tool LRT-12-186 inserted from the
combustion chamber face side of cylinder
head. Ensure all loose particles of carbon are
removed on completion.
34.Check and record diameter of each valve stem:
lValve stem diameter - Inlet = 6.907 to 6.923
mm (0.2719 to 0.2725 in)
lValve stem diameter - Exhaust = 6.897 to
6.913 mm (0.2715 to 0.2721 in)35.Renew any valve if stem diameter is less than
specified.
36.Check and record valve stem to guide
clearance using the following procedures.
37.Insert each valve into its respective guide.
38.Extend valve head 10 mm (0.375 in) out of
valve seat and position a DTI gauge to rear of
valve head.
39.Move valve towards front of cylinder head and
zero DTI gauge ensuring that stylus of gauge
remains in contact with valve head.
40.Move valve towards rear of cylinder head,
record gauge reading to give valve stem to
guide clearance:
lInlet valve = 0.025 to 0.059 mm (0.0009 to
0.0023 in)
lExhaust valve = 0.035 to 0.069 mm (0.0013
to 0.0027 in)
41.If stem to guide clearance exceeds figures
given and valve stem diameters were as
specified, cylinder head assembly must be
replaced; it is not possible to replace valve
guides.
42.Repeat above procedures for remaining valves.
Keep valves in their fitted order.
43.Check face angle of each valve, renew any
valve with incorrect face angles, do not attempt
to recut.
lValve face angle - inlet = 29
° 48' ± 12'
lValve face angle - exhaust = 44
° 48' ± 12'
44.Lap each valve to its seat using grinding paste.
45.Apply Prussion Blue to valve seat, insert valve
into guide and press it firmly, without rotating
on to seat.
46.Remove valve and check that a continuous,
even line of Prussian Blue has been
transferred on to valve face. Note that line
does not have to be across whole width of
valve face.
47.Remove all traces of grinding paste on
completion.
48.Check valve head stand down using the
following procedures.
