Checking For Leaks - Scania PDE Operator's Manual

Checking for leaks

• Start the engine.
• Check for oil, coolant, fuel, air or exhaust
leaks.
• Tighten or renew leaking connections. Check
the overflow holes which show whether the
O-rings between the cylinder liners and
crankcase are leaking.
IMPORTANT!
If serious leakage occurs, contact your nearest
Scania workshop.
Checking and adjusting the
valve clearance
Note:
Checking and adjusting valve clearances should
also be done after the first 500 hours of opera-
tion.
Valve clearances should be adjusted when the
engine is cold, at least 30 minutes after running.
WARNING!
Block the starting device when working on the
engine. If the engine starts unexpectedly, there is
a serious risk of injury.
Readings can be taken from the flywheel through
openings in the flywheel housing either from
above or below depending on access when fit-
ting.
"TDC up" or ""TDC down" is found on the fly-
wheel. Both openings are fitted with a blanking
piece on delivery.
