As soon as the engine starts, release the switch to
the “ON” position.
If weather is cold, turn starter switch to the “Heat”
position and hold it there for 20 to 25 seconds.
Then turn the starter switch to the “Heat and Start”
position, thereby engaging the starter motor.
If the engine does not start after twenty seconds,
return the switch to the “Heat” position for ten
seconds and then re-engage the starter motor by
switching to the “Heat and Start” position.
As soon as the engine starts, release the switch to
the “ON” position.
COLD STARTING AID (OPTIONAL) Fig. C 2 Thermostart Fuel Layout
The cold start unit comprises a tubular valve body
carried in a holder which screws into the inlet
manifold, and surrounded by a heater coil, an
extension of which forms an igniter coil. The valve
body houses a needle, the stem of which holds a
ball valve in position against its seating. The whole
is surrounded by an open perforated shield. Fuel
oil from the container enters through an adaptor.
On switching on the coil, the valve body is heated
and expands, opening the ball valve and permitting
the entry of fuel.
The fuel is vapourised by the heat of the valve body
and when the engine is cranked and air is drawn into
the manifold, the vapour is ignited by the coil extension
and continues to burn, thus heating the inlet air. Fig. C 3 Thermostart

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.

Type : Thermosyphon – Pump assisted


Coolant Capacity: Engine Only – 5.8 litres (approx)

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.
To Reset Engine Timing
Remove atomisers.
Bring No. 1 piston to T.D.C. on its
compression stroke. The T.D.C that has been
obtained can be checked by examining the valve
position. The No.6 valve (3rd cylinder exhaust vaive)
in fully open position.
Fit the camshaft gear on camshaft
hub.Aligning ‘D’ mark.
Fit the fuel pump gear. This is dowelled and
will only go in one position.
With the crankshaft gear is fitted, replace the
Idler gear ensuring the timing marks coincide as
shown.
To Check Valve Timing
Turn the engine until No. 6 valve is fully opened.
In this position, set the clearance between rocker
lever and No. 1 inlet valve to 0.787 mm
(0.031 in.)
Now, turn the engine in the normal direction of
rotation until the No. 1 inlet valve tip clearance Fig. K 19 Valve Timing Diagram
reduces to zero.
At this point, No. 1 piston should be at T.D.C.
This can be checked by examining the T.D.C. mark
Inlet Valve Opens – 13° BTDC
given on the pulley is inline with pointer.
Inlet Valve Closes – 43 ABDC
