Has anyone got any pics or diagrams of timing marks for a 2.5 N/A diesel..
I should add this is a Sherpa version, so I think the timing cover is different than the Landy, but would hazard a guess the marks are the same..
Want to replace con rod bearings and piston rings, so might as well do the timing belt/chain as well....
Help please.
Yes, I can assist you there, it's a 15J Engine from a Sherpa, right?
If you have a flat steel cover over the belt it's a 15J.
The LandRover versions have a waterproof alloy casting over the belt.
Your tinny cover is NOT waterproof, but the pump sits much higher which is good.
Your tin cover comes on and off WITHOUT draining the water or taking off the waterpump. You do need to take off the crankshaft pulley though.
This engine uses a DIFFERENT TIMING BELT! I think it has 124 teeth.
LOOSEN the valve rocker adjusters right off so you don't bend valves turning the engine.
Set the crankshaft to top dead centre with number one FIRING, which means the valves of number 4 "rocking"
Now turn the camwheel till the DOT on the wheel is lined up with the arrow on the casing at about 8 o'clock.
Now set the PUMP wheel - it has two marks (bummer huh?) a DOT and probably a F. Set the dot to line up with the arrow on the casting at about 1-30 o'clock.
Now fit the belt over the pulleys in order - crank, then under the fixed idler, then over the camwheel, then over the pumpwheel, then back down and over the tensioner. As you fit the belt make sure it FITS tight and that nothing ends up "one tooth out" or it will run sick as a parrot.
Do you know how to do up the tensioner properly?
have you got access to a "read-off" torque wrench?
