HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Exploded views
In the exploded views, the component parts are separated but so arranged to show their relationship to the whole.
Index numbering is used to identify the parts and to indicate a sequence in which the parts are to be removed for
disassembly, or they are to be installed for assembly.

Symbols
The following symbols are used in this manual to emphasize important and critical instructions:

Indicates a condition that is essential to highlight.

NOTE
Indicates a condition that can cause engine damage

CAUTION
Indicates a condition that can cause personal injury or

WARNING death.

Definition of locational terms


The fan end is “front” and the flywheel end is “rear”. The words “left” and “right” are as these directions would appear
as seen from the flywheel side. The cylinder sequencing begins on the front side (timing gearcase side) of the
engine and works its way to the flywheel side.

Dimensional or specification terms


Nominal size Is the named size which has no specified limits of accuracy.
Standard Is the dimension of a part to be attained at the time of
assembly, or the standard performance.
Limit Is the maximum or minimum permissible limit beyond which a
part must be repaired or replaced.

Tightening torques
Tighten bolts, nuts, etc. in a wet condition (apply oil to threads) when specified as [WET]. Tighten them in a dry
condition unless so specified. Use the general tightening torques unless otherwise specified.

OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS

4 DETERMINING WHEN
TO OVERHAUL THE
ENGINE
Generally, when to overhaul the engine is to be
determined by taking into account a drop in
compression pressure as well as an increase in lube oil
consumption and excessive blowby gases.

Lower power or loss of power, an increase in fuel


consumption, a drop in lube oil pressure, hard starting
and excessive abnormal noise are also troubles.
These troubles, however, are not always the result of
low compression pressure and give no valid reason for
overhauling the engine.

The engine develops troubles of widely different


varieties when the compression pressure drops in it.
Following are the typical troubles caused by the
compression pressure failure:

1. Low power or loss of power


2. Increase in fuel consumption
3. Increase in lube oil consumption
4. Excessive blowby through breather due to worn
cylinders, pistons, etc.
5. Excessive blowby due to poor seating of worn inlet
and exhaust valves
6. Hard starting or failure to start
7. Excessive engine noise

In most cases, these troubles occur concurrently.


Some of them are directly caused by low compression
pressure, but others are not. Among the troubles listed
above, (2) and (6) are caused by a fuel injection pump
improperly adjusted with respect to injection quantity or
injection timing, worn injection pump plungers, faulty
injection nozzles, or poor care of the battery, starter
and alternator.

The trouble to be taken into account as the most valid


reason for overhauling the engine is (4): in actually
determining when to overhaul the engine, it is
reasonable to take this trouble into account in
conjunction with the other ones.

6 TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 General
The diagnosis of troubles, especially those caused by a
faulty fuel injection pump or injection nozzles, or low
compression pressure, can be difficult. It requires a
careful inspection to determine not which item is the
cause, but how may causes are contributing to the
trouble, someone of which is the primary cause.
Several causes may be contributing to a single trouble.

On the following pages, there are troubleshooting


charts on which engine troubles can be traced to their
causes. Each chart has items to be verified ahead and
suggested inspection procedure.

Diesel engines exhibit some marked characteristics


during operation. Knowing these characteristics will
help minimize time lost in tracing engine troubles to
their source. Following are the characteristics of diesel
engines you should know about for diagnosis:

• Combustion knock (diesel knock)


• Some black exhaust smoke (when the engine
picks up load)
• Vibration (due to high compression pressure and
high torque)
• Hunting (when the engine speed is quickly
decreased)
• Some white exhaust smoke (when the engine is
cold, or shortly after the engine has been started)

BASIC PRECAUTIONS FOR DISASSEMBLY
OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS AND ASSEMBLY

OVERHAUL INSTRUCTIONS

7 BASIC PRECAUTIONS
FOR DISASSEMBLY
AND ASSEMBLY
This section outlines basic precautions recommended
by Mitsubishi that should always be observed.

7.1 Disassembly
1. Always use tools that are in good condition and be
sure you understand how to use them before
performing any job.
2. Use an overhaul stand or a work bench, if
necessary. Also, use bins to keep engine parts in
order of removal.
3. Parts must be restored to their respective
components from which they were removed at
disassembly. This means that all parts must be set
aside separately in groups, each marked for its
component, so that the same combination or set
can be reproduced at assembly.
4. Pay attention to marks on assemblies,
components and parts for their positions or
directions. Put on marks, if necessary, to aid
assembly.
5. Carefully check each part or component for any
sign of faulty condition during removal or cleaning.
The part will tell you how it acted or what was
abnormal about it more accurately during removal
or cleaning.
6. When lifting or carrying a part too heavy or too
awkward for one person to handle, get another
person’s help and, if necessary, use a jack or a
hoist.

7.2 Assembly
1. Wash all parts, except for oil seals, O-rings, rubber
sheets, etc., with cleaning solvent and dry them
with pressure air.
2. Always use tools that are in good condition and be
sure you understand how to use them before
performing any job.
3. Use only good-quality lubricants. Be sure to apply
a coat of oil, grease or sealant to parts as
specified.
4. Be sure to use a torque wrench to tighten parts for
which torques are specified.
5. Any time the engine is assembled, new gaskets
and O-rings must be installed.

29.1.1 Removing Pinion


The pinion can be removed when it is held in the
pushed-out position during energization of the solenoid
S1 switch.

S S2 Disconnect the M-terminal connector and make a


circuit that connects the starter motor and the battery
Starter Battery as shown in the drawing. Close switches S1 and S2 to
make the pinion come out and rotate. Then, open
switch S2. The pinion will stop rotating but will stay in
the pushed-out position. Apply a pipe-shaped
implement to the pinion stopper and lightly tap it with a
hammer to remove the pinion.

If the pinion returns to the retracted position before


disengagement of the stopper while the tool is being
tapped, repeat the procedure from the beginning.

29.1.2 Ball
The ball at the end of the armature acts as a bearing for
movement of the armature in the thrust direction. When
the armature is removed, the ball may stick to the
grease on it. Be careful not to lose the ball.

29.2 Inspection
29.2.1 Armature
1. Coil Short Circuit Test
Place the armature on a growler tester. Hold an
iron rod parallel with the armature and slowly
rotate the armature by hand. If the iron rod vibrates
or is pulled toward the armature, the armature has
a short-circuited coil and must be replaced.

2. Coil Ground Test


Check whether continuity exists between the
commutator and shaft (or core). If continuity exists,
the coil is grounded and the armature must be
replaced.

29.4.1 Inspection and Adjustment of


Pinion Gap
1. Connect the assembled starter to the battery as
shown in the drawing. The pinion will come out and
rotate slowly. Then, remove the M-terminal
connector to stop the motor.
2. Lightly push the pinion shaft toward the armature
and measure the amount of axial movement,
which corresponds to the pinion gap.
3. If the pinion gap is not within the 0.5 – 2.0 mm
(0.02 – 0.08 in.) range, adjust it by increasing or
decreasing the number of seals in the solenoid
Pinion gap switch. (Increasing the number of seals reduce the
pinion gap). It may be necessary to replace the
lever to obtain the correct pinion gap.
Unit: mm (in.)

32 KEY SHUTOFF SYSTEM


(ETR solenoid type)
32.1 General
The energize-to-run (ETR) solenoid-controlled engine
shutdown system operates as follows:

When the starter switch is turned to the “ON” position,


the pull-in coil of the solenoid is energized for three
seconds, pulling the push rod inward.

During operation with the starter switch at the “ON”


position, the hold-in coil of the solenoid remains
energized, keeping the push rod in the retracted
position.

Like the conventional energize-to-stop (ETS) solenoid


engine shutdown system, this system is a safety device
designed to bring the injection pump into the no-
injection state whenever the wiring is open or the
starter switch is turned to the “OFF” position.
