NOTE
In some cases, flanged-head fasteners may be present instead of
standard fasteners and washers. In all cases, washers should be
used when replacing a flanged-head fastener with a standard
fastener.
Remove three capscrews (1) and driven gear (2) from injection pump (7).
Remove two capscrews (16), nut (3), and baffle (4) from timing chain cover (5).
Remove three nuts (9) and washers (8) from injection pump (7) and timing chain cover (5).
Remove four capscrews (11) from timing chain cover (5) and oil pan (12).
Remove five capscrews (14), four washers (13), timing chain cover (5), and gasket (6) from cylinder
block (10). Discard gasket (6).
NOTE
When measuring timing chain deflection, slack should be
removed from one side before measurement is taken on opposite
side.
Using dial indicator, check deflection of timing chain (21) midway between camshaft sprocket (20)
and crankshaft sprocket (27). Total deflection must not exceed 0.810 in. (20.6 mm). If deflection
exceeds specification, timing chain (21) must be replaced.
Using dial indicator, check end play of camshaft (22). End play must not be more than 0.012 in.
(0.3 mm). If end play exceeds specification, camshaft sprocket (20) and thrust plate (24) must be
inspected for wear after removal.
Remove capscrew (17), washer (18), pump drive gear (19), and camshaR sprocket (20) from camshaft (22).
Remove crankshaft sprocket (27), camshaft sprocket (20), and timing chain (21) as an assembly.
NOTE
Cover oil pan opening to prevent woodruff keys from falling into
oil pan.
