1B3-36 OM600 ENGINE MECHANICAL 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 andposition 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) by3.65mm.
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 bracketbolts.
Tightening Torque 10 Nm
Notice
The timing mark on the damper must be positioned at ATDC 20.
