Section F
COOLING SYSTEM – WATER PUMP
General Description
Coolant water from the bottom of the radiator passes through the centrifugal coolant pump, which is fitted
on to the front of the timing case to assist the flow of the coolant through the system
The pump is driven by a “V” belt from the crankshaft pulley.
Coolant pumps driven by a “V” belt pass the coolant through the pump body to the front of the cylinder
block through an inlet manifold.
The coolant passes through a passage in the left side of the cylinder block to the rear of the cylinder block.
The coolant then passes around the cylinders and up into the cylinder head. The coolant leaves the
cylinder head at the front and passes into the thermostat housing.
If the thermostat is closed, the coolant goes directly through a by-pass to the inlet side of the coolant pump.
If the thermostat is open the coolant passes to the top of the radiator. Where a by pass blanking is there, by
pass passage is closed when thermostat valve is open.

CYLINDER HEAD
General Description
In a diesel engine there is little carbon deposit and for this reason the number of hours run is no indication
of when to overhaul a cylinder head assembly. The factors which indicate when an overhaul is necessary
are how easily the engine starts and its general performance.
The cylinder head assembly has two valves fitted for each cylinder, (inlet and exhaust) each fitted with a
single valve spring.
The face angle of the valves is 35 0. The angle of the valve seats in the cylinder head is 36 0.
The nitrided valves move in sintered guides which can be renewed.
Both valve stems are fitted with sintered metal insert oil seals which fit over the top of the valve guides.

TIMING
General Description
The timing gears are stamped with timing marks to
ensure that they are assembled correctly. The
stamped teeth of the crankshaft, the camshaft and
the fuel pump gears will be in mesh with the idler
gear when number 1 piston is at top dead centre
(TDC) on the compression stroke. The marked
teeth of the idler gear may not necessarily be in
mesh in this position, due to the different speeds at
which the gears rotate.
When the engine is timed at the factory, timing
Fig. K 18 Gears Timing Marks Aligned
marks are stamped on the gears.
