Loosen fixing bolts in reverse order of that shown in the figure
and remove them.

Remove No. 6, 10 and 11 bolts with the rubber washer as
space is limited for pulling them out.
CAUTION:

While front chain case is removed, cover openings to
prevent entry of foreign material into engine.

Do not remove two mass dampers on the back of
cover.
5. Set the No. 1 piston to TDC on its compression stroke.

Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise so that the alignment mark
(punched mark) on each camshaft sprocket is positioned as
shown in the figure.

No position indicator is provided on crankshaft pulley.

When installing, color coded links on secondary timing
chain can be used as alignment marks. Marking may not
be necessary for removal; however, make alignment
marks as required because the alignment mark on fuel
pump sprocket may not be easy to see.
6. Remove chain tensioner.
a. Push the plunger of chain tensioner and keep it pressed with a
push pin.

pump shaft little by little to adjust the position of the fuel pump
sprocket. Insert positioning stopper pin into the hole 6 mm
(0.24 in) in diameter on fuel pump sprocket so that the stop-
per pin goes through the fuel pump body. While the stopper
pin is in place, install the bolt.16 mm (0.63 in) : Bolt No. 1, 2, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Using CONSULT-II, make sure no error codes are indicated for self-diagnosis items. Refer to EC-905,
"Basic Inspection" (WITH EURO-ODB) or EC-1231, "Basic Inspection" (WITHOUT EURO-ODB).

Do not disconnect CONSULT-II until the end of this operation; it will be used to check engine rpm and
for error detection at the end of this operation.
3. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
4. Remove charge air cooler. Refer to EM-135, "
Removal and Installation"
5. To prevent fuel from being injected during inspection, remove
fuel pump fuse [ENG CONT 2 (20A)] from fuse box on the left
side of engine room.

Among marks on fuse box, [ENG CONT 2 (20A)] is for fuel
pump fuse.
6. Remove glow plugs from all the cylinders. Refer to EM-152,
"Removal and Installation" .
CAUTION:

Before removal, clean the surrounding area to prevent
entry of any foreign materials into engine.

Carefully remove glow plugs to prevent any damage or
breakage.

Handle with care to avoid applying any shock to glow plugs.
7. Install compression gauge adapter (special service tool) to
installation holes of glow plugs and connect compression gauge
for diesel engine.
8. Connect battery negative terminal.
9. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to
“START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabilizes, read
the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform these steps
to check each cylinder.

Always use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified engine
speed.
Compression pressure
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2 , psi)/rpm

When engine rpm is out of the specified range, check the specific gravity of battery liquid. Measure
again under corrected conditions.

If engine rpm exceeds the limit, check valve clearance and combustion chamber components (valves,
valve seats, cylinder head gaskets, piston rings, pistons, cylinder bores, cylinder block upper and lower
surfaces) and measure again.

If compression pressure is low in some cylinders, apply engine oil from glow plug installation hole. Then
check pressure again.
–If compression pressure becomes normal after applying engine oil, piston ring may be worn or dam-
aged. Check piston ring for malfunction. If any, replace piston ring.
–If compression pressure is still low after applying engine oil, valve may be malfunctioning. Check valve
for malfunction. If contact malfunction is found, replace valve or valve seat.

If compression pressure in adjacent two cylinders is low after applying engine oil, pressure may be
leaking from gasket. In this case, replace cylinder head gasket.
