VIII MAINTENANCE - RECOMMENDED OIL TYPE - REFILLING The engine could be damaged if allowed to operate with insufficient oil. It is also dangerous to add too much oil as its combustion could sharply increase the rotation speed. Use a suitable oil in order to protect the engine. The lubrication oil influences the performances and life of the engine in an incredible way.
Besides disassembly and reassembly operations this chapter also During repair operations, when includes checking and setting specifications, dimensions, repair using compressed air, wear eye and operating instructions. Always use original RUGGERINI spare protection. parts for repair operations. Extracting fuel injectors Unscrew the fuel feeding pipes.
DISASSEMBLY OF THE ENGINE Extraction of crankshaft gear The gear can be removed manually as shown in figure 5. Extraction of the camshaft gear Use the extractor code 00365R0010 (fig.6) Extracting crankcase bushes From crankcase (fig. 7) From main bearing (fig. 8) Use extractor code 00366R0060 Extracting the oil pressure indicator plug Remove the oil filter and extract the by-pass valve using the extractor...
CHECKS AND OVERHAUL After prolonged running of the engine the hammering of the valves on their seats at high temperature tends to harden the faces of the seats and makes manual grinding difficult. It is thus necessary to remove the hardened surface with a 45° cutter (fig. 13). Grinding of valve seats causes a widening of the valve seat face P (fig.
CHECKS AND OVERHAUL Valves and springs In order to check the springs for possible failure measure the lengths under load as shown in figure 17. The permissible tolerance for loads and lengths is ± 10%. If the figures measured do not fall within these values, the springs must be renewed.
CHECKS AND OVERHAUL Piston rings - Pistons - Piston pins Check the wear of piston rings by fitting them into the cylinder through the lower end and measuring the end gap (fig.21). The values should be: Fitting mm Max. wear mm Piston ring Compression 0,30...
CHECKS AND OVERHAUL 2. Position the calibrated pin on two prisms arranged on a check surface. 3. Use a dial gauge to check that the discrepancy between readings at the ends of the calibrated pin is no more than 0.05 mm;...
CHECKS AND OVERHAUL During grinding take care not to remove the shim adjustment material from the main journal thrust face to avoid changing the crankshaft end float; also ensure that the grinding wheel radii are as specified in figure 29 so as not to create crack initiation sections on the crankshaft.
CHECKS AND OVERHAUL Tappets and push rods Make sure that the tappet surfaces (fig.33) are free from wear and present no signs of scoring or seizure, otherwise, renew. Assembly clearance between tappets and their housings should Fitting mm Max. wear mm 0,10 0,014 ÷...
CHECKS AND OVERHAUL The clearance between the external rotor of the oil pump and the cover facing surface must be: Fitting mm Max. wear mm 0,60 0,27 ÷ 0,47 End float of rotors (fig.37): Fitting mm Max. wear mm 0,01 ÷...
INJECTION EQUIPMENT Fuel circuit Fuel feeding can be either gravity type or forced, with a mechanical double diaphragm pump operated a cam located on the camshaft. Fuel is filtered by a filter in the fuel tank or through an external filter cartridge.
INJECTION EQUIPMENT The difference between the deliveries of the two pumps when locked must not exceed 0.5 cc. Also check: 1. That the distance between the injection cams in the rest position (bottom dead centre) and the pump supporting face is between 52.8 and 54.4 mm as shown on the data plate;...
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT Plant specifications Starter motor: Left rotation, 12V, power 2.2 kW Built-in alternator: 400W Voltage regulator: Electronic with controlled diodes and connection for battery charge indicator light External alternator: 12V - 400W Recommended battery: Refer to tables in chapters 4 Flywheel ring gear: Check teeth for wear or damage.
6. Fit the vent restrictor element (fig. 59). A warped oil retainer may allow the introduction of air into the engine thus causing crankcase ventilation problems. Use genuine oil retainers with the RUGGERINI. Camshaft Prepare the camshaft assembly (fig.60) as described below: 1.
XIII ENGINE ASSEMBLY The speed governor is of the centrifugal type with flyweights keyed directly onto the end of the camshaft gear (fig. 60). Flyweights (A) impelled outward by centrifugal force, cause a moving plate (P) to shift axially. The plate operates a lever (R) which is connected, through tie rods (T) to the control sleeves (E) of the injection pumps.
ENGINE ASSEMBLY XIII Central main bearings Fit the shells into their seats and coat with a thin film of oil. Fit the bearing with outside diameter of 141mm onto the central journal - timing-case side, and the 141.5mm diameter bearing onto the central journal - flywheel side.
XIII ENGINE ASSEMBLY Crankshaft end float Once the crankshaft has been inserted into the crankcase, fit the external clearance adjustment ring with the milled grooves facing toward the timing gear. Also fit the brass shims, the O-ring (fig. 71), the key, the timing gear - ensuring that the reference marks match those on the camshaft gear (fig.
ENGINE ASSEMBLY XIII Pistons Lubricate the following parts with oil before mounting: the piston pin, the piston, the cylinder and the big-end bearing Fit the oil rings onto the pistons (fig. 77) in the following order: 1. Chromed compression seal ring 2.
XIII ENGINE ASSEMBLY Checking injector protrusion Before mounting the heads to the cylinders fit the injectors into their housings and, after having secured them temporarily, check the protrusion of the nozzles from the head faces (fig.81). Protrusion S should be: 1,75 ÷...
ENGINE ASSEMBLY XIII 5. Release the control sleeves: - on the traditional pumps by loosening the pins (E, fig.84) and inserting the appropriate distance collars (F, fig.84). - on the BOSCH type PF30 pumps by removing the pins (H, fig.84) and closing the hole on the pump body using plug G. Important: injection pumps should be released only after they have been connected to the governor tie rod and secured to the crankcase.
XIII ENGINE ASSEMBLY Injectors and injector pipes Mount injectors to heads placing copper gaskets in between (see pag. 36). Connect the injectors to the pumps by way of the injection lines. Important: always use two wrenches to loosen or tighten the unions on the injector pipes (fig.90) thereby ensuring that the position of the delivery valve holder on the pumps is not changed (see pag.27).
ENGINE TESTING Speed adjustment (fig.94) When the engine is hot set idle speed at 1000 rpm and maximum no-load speed at: 3150 rpm for engines MD350 3750 rpm for engines MD351 Checking oil pressure 1. Remove the bolt from the hole in the crankcase and fit a pressure gauge with 0 to 10 kg/cm²...
