2.1.1.3 CHECKING AND SETTING OF THE VALVE CLEARANCE

The valve clearance is measured between the valve

stem and the rocker arm with a feeler gauge. With a
cold or a warm engine.

The valve clearance is adjusted with an adjusting

screw on the rocker arm, which can be adjusted after
the counternut has been loosened.

Valve clearance: Intake valve 0.20 mm cold or warm

Exhaust valve 0.45 mm cold or warm

2.1.1.4 ENGINE TIMING GEAR

The camshaft which is directly connected with the

crankshaft via an idler gear, controls the intake and
exhaust valves via push rods and rocker arms.

2.1.1.5 CHECKING AND TIGHTENING THE V-BELT

CHECKING THE TENSION OF THE V-BELT

The condition and tension of the V-belt should be

checked subject to the service intervals. The belt
tension should be checked at a set value of 355 N with
testing device Part. No. 000 941 9435 (Perkins). If a
measuring device is not available, press the V-belt
down in the middle of the greatest free length under
application of approx. 45 N, and measure the deflex-
ion. The deflection value should be approx. 10 mm in
this case.

TIGHTENING OF THE V-BELT

- Loosen the hexagon head screws (1) of the alterna-

tor and (2) the fastening lever.
- Change the position of the alternator until the set
value of 355 N or a deflexion of 10 mm is obtained
under application of 45 N.
- Retighten screws (1) and (2).

TIGHTENING TORQUES

Fuel injection pump sprocket (1): 80 Nm

Crankshaft timing gear: (2)

(Crankshaft pulley): 325 Nm

Idler gear (3): 65 Nm

CAUTION!
The position of the markings must be
observed when replacing the timing gears
(re-installation).

2.1.1.7 CYLINDER HEAD

2.1.1.7.1 DISMANTLING

- Dismantle the rocker shaft.

- Loosen the cylinder head bolt evenly and step-by-
step in the prescribed order. First, the cylinder head
bolts M12 (12 - 9), then the cylinder head bolts M14
(8 - 1), see diagram.

- Check the cylinder head bolts for deformation of the

bolt barrel (2) with a ruler.
- Check the bolt for visible reduction of the thread
diameter, near the bolt barrel (3).
- If the inspection of the cylinder head bolt is unsatis-
factory, deformed bolts must be replaced.

2.1.1.7.2 MOUNTING

- Clean the sealing surface of the cylinder head and

the engine cylinder block. The sealing surfaces
should not evidence any sealant residues.
- Check the cylinder head for distortion with a steel
ruler and a set of measuring gauges.
Maximum deformation 0.05 mm.

NOTE: Pay special attention to the area around

the threaded holes and the stay bolts.

Service Training 10.98 Page 7

- Position and align the cylinder head and the engine

cylinder block.

- Tighten the cylinder head bolts M14 (1 - 8) to 90 Nm

in the prescribed sequence.

- Retighten with 90 Nm (check).

- Turn the M14 cylinder head bolts by 60 ° in the

prescribed sequence with the protractor.

- Repeat further turning of the fastening screws by an

additional 60 ° with the protractor and in the pre-
scribed order.

- Tighten the cylinder head nuts M12 (9 - 12) to 60 Nm

in the prescribed order.

- Retighten with 60 Nm (check).

- Turn the M12 cylinder head nuts further by 60 ° with

the protractor.

- Mount the rocker shaft and tighten with 44 Nm.

NOTE: The cylinder head screws and the nuts

need not be retightened with a warm
engine or after 50 hours of operation.
