16. Prior to removing the fuel injector assembly, insert clean shop towels in the oil drain holes adjacent to each glow plug.





17. CAUTION: Failure to account for all snap rings or pieces prior to placing the vehicle back into service can cause engine damage. A missing snap ring can be ingested into the lube oil system and cause severe engine damage.

CAUTION: To prevent engine damage, do not use air tools to remove the fuel injectors. The snap ring that extracts the injector can dislodge and fall into the oil drain hole.

NOTE: There is no need to drain the fuel rail.

NOTE: If engine oil is found in the engine coolant or engine coolant is found in the combustion chambers, new fuel injector sleeve may need to be installed.

NOTE: The bolt is part of the fuel injection hold-down assembly.
Loosen the bolt and remove the bolt and fuel injector hold-down assembly and fuel injector.

18. NOTE: If a snap ring or piece of a snap ring is missing from the injector hold-down assembly, it must be located prior to removing the shop towels.

- Clean and inspect the gasket sealing surfaces.
34. Check for cylinder block distortion, Service and Repair

Installation





1. CAUTION: Install new O-ring seals on the crankcase-to-head tube. It requires several hours after installation for the O-ring seals to relax back to their original size. If the tube assembly is installed before the O-ring seals have relaxed, damage to the O-ring seals can occur.

2. NOTE: Use care to avoid scratching the blue compound on the cylinder head gasket. Install a new cylinder head gasket with the part number facing up and verify the top five holes and the head gasket push rod holes line up.

Install the dowels and the cylinder head gasket.





3. Using the special tools and with the help of an assistant, install the cylinder head on the engine. Remove the special tools.





4. Install the outer cylinder head bolts finger-tight.





5. NOTE: Coat the end of each valve stem with clean engine oil.

6. CAUTION: To prevent engine damage, keep the push rods in the order in which they were removed. Install all push rods back in their original positions.

NOTE: Higher mileage engines require push rods to be cleaned so the copper colored end of the push rod can be identified.

Apply clean engine oil to each end of the push rod. Insert them into their respective positions with the copper-colored end up.





Install the eight valve bridges.

7. CAUTION: Rotate the crankshaft until the damper locating dowel notch is in the six o'clock position or engine damage can occur.

NOTE: Apply clean engine oil to the top center of each valve bridge.





Install the rocker arm assemblies and eight bolts.

8. CAUTION: Using too much engine oil on the threads of the cylinder head bolts can cause damage to the threads and poor sealing. Using anti-seize compounds, grease or any other lubricants other than engine oil on the cylinder head bolt threads can affect the true torque value of the bolts.

NOTE: Lightly lubricate the new cylinder head bolt threads and flanges with clean engine oil.





Install the 10 inner cylinder head retaining bolts finger-tight.





1 Tighten bolts 1 through 10 to 88 Nm (65 lb-ft).
2 Tighten bolts 1 through 10 to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft).
3 Tighten bolts in sequence 1 through 10, clockwise 90 degrees.
4 Tighten bolts in sequence 1 through 10, a second time, clockwise 90 degrees.
5 Tighten bolts in sequence 1 through 10, a third time, clockwise 90 degrees.
6 Tighten bolts 11 through 15 to 24 Nm (18 lb-ft).
7 Tighten bolts 11 through 15 to 31 Nm (23 lb-ft).





10. Install the four glow plugs.

11. NOTE: Clean and apply clean engine oil to the O-ring seals.





Using the special tool, install the glow plug harness.

Early Build Vehicles





12. Position the turbocharger adapter pipe.

Late Build Vehicles





Position the turbocharger adapter pipe to gain access to the adapter pipe joint. Remove the bolts, separate the adapter pipe joint and remove the gasket. Remove the 2 parts of the turbocharger adapter pipe

All Vehicles

13. NOTE: Apply anti-seize lubricants to the bolt threads prior to installing the bolts.

NOTE: Do not tighten until after the turbocharger is installed.





Install the nuts and bolts in the adapter pipe.

14. NOTE: Apply clean engine oil to the O-ring seal prior to installing.





Install the cylinder block drain plug.
15. Install the starter. Starting System

16. CAUTION: If the fuel injector oil inlet D-shaped O-ring seal is damaged, a new fuel injector must be installed.




Install new O-ring seals and copper washer on the fuel injector. Lubricate the fuel injector and O-ring seals liberally with clean engine oil.





NOTICE: Failure to tighten the injectors properly can lead to engine failure.





17. CAUTION: To prevent engine damage, do not use air tools to install the fuel injectors. The snap ring that extracts the injector can dislodge and fall into the oil drain hole.





Assemble the fuel injector hold-down and bolt on the injector and install the assembly.

18. CAUTION: Be sure the injector wiring is clear of all moving parts or engine damage can occur.




Install the fuel injector electrical connector into the rocker arm carrier.





19. Apply engine oil to the top fuel injector O-ring seals

Early Build Vehicles





20. CAUTION: To prevent engine damage, cheek that the crankcase-to-head tube assembly bottoms out in the branch tube assembly. The oil rail, crankcase-to-head tube and fuel injectors will not function correctly if the tubes are not bottomed out.

Apply clean engine oil on the crankcase-to-head tube O-ring seals and install the tube.

All Vehicles

21. NOTE: Apply clean engine oil on the tubes prior to installing the high-pressure oil rail.

Position the oil rail on the fuel injectors.
- Place the oil rail on top of the carrier so that the four single ball tubes are engaging the injector lead angle.





- Insert three bolts, two on the ends of the straight side of the oil rail and one in the middle of the wavy side of the rail. Install the guide studs six to seven turns.
- Press the oil rail into the fuel injectors. Make sure that the oil rail mounting feet are flat against the mounting surface.
- Loosely install the six bolts.





22. Install the oil rail retaining bolts.
- Remove the three guide bolts.
