Design and function Component description Cylinder heads The engine has two (identical) cylinder heads, each of which covers three cylinders. The cylinder heads are screwed to the cylinder block by 20 screws per head (M11). The cylinder head material is a special cast iron alloy. The cylinder head gasket is solid sheet steel.
Page 27
Design and function Cylinder block The cylinder block is cast in one piece and is made of special cast iron alloy. The tension forces in the cyl- inder head screws, caused by combustion pressures, are transmitted by stiffened sections in the interior walls of the cylinder block to the main bearings.
Page 28
Design and function Pistons The pistons are made of light metal alloy. The top compression ring, which transmits the majority of the heat which is transferred via the pistons, is located in a ring carrier made of high alloy special cast iron, which is cast in to the piston.
Page 29
Design and function TAMD71 Each piston has three compression rings (early ver- sion), or two compression rings (later version)* and one oil scraper ring. The upper compression ring on the early version is chrome plated and has a turned internal chamfer, and on the later version it is molybdenum coated and must be fitted with the TOP marking** uppermost.
Page 30
Design and function Timing gear The timing gear consists of cylindrical gear wheels with spiral cut teeth. The injection pump and camshaft are driven from the crankshaft gear via an idler gear. The engine oil pump is also driven from the crankshaft gear via an idler gear.
Page 31
Design and function Con rods The con rods have an I section, and are drilled for pressure lubrication of the gudgeon pins. Since the con rods have obliquely split big ends, they can be pulled up through the cylinder bores during engine ren- ovation.

Repair instructions Warpage Cylinder head, inspection The warpage of the cylinder head must not exceed 0.03 mm. The check is made with a feeler gauge and steel ruler, whose sides has been shaved to an accuracy corresponding to DIN 874/Normal. If the cylinder head is found to be warped more than the permitted value, the cylinder head must be planed or replaced.
Repair instructions Valve guides, inspection Valve guides, replacement Special tools: 9999876 and 9999696. Special tools: 6(x) series: 9991459, 9996169, 7(x) series: 9991084, 9992661.
