6A – 36 ENGINE MECHANICAL
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RTW 46AMF000401
The 4J series automotive diesel engine has special designed combustion chambers in the piston. This design
provides superior fuel economy over a wide range of driving conditions.
Auto-thermatic pistons with cast steel struts are used to reduce thermal expansion and resulting engine noise when
the engine is cold.
Chrome plated dry type cylinder liners provide the highest durability.
The laminated steel sheet cylinder head gasket is very durable and, to increase the head gasket reliability.
The crankshaft has been tufftrided to provide a longer service life. Because the crankshaft is tufftrided, it cannot be
reground.
The 4JA1T(L) engine is equipped with the BOSCH VE-Type distributor injection pump.
The 4JH1TC and 4JA1TC engine is equipped with the BOSCH VP44-Type distributor injection pump.
The engine is turbocharger equipped.

Precautions
When working on the fuel system, there are several things
to keep in mind:
•
Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the negative battery cable except fo
r
those tests where battery voltage is required.
•
Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near the work area.
• Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings that
were removed.
• Clean and inspect “O” rings. Replace if required.
•
Always relieve the line pressure before servicing any
fuel system components.
• Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until you
have read the instructions and checked the pictures
relating to that repair.
• Adhere to all Notices and Cautions.
NOTE:
Injection nozzle adjustment is possible only on the 4JA1L
engine.
