Mount digital dial gauge with device and set it to „0“.
2. Turn roller of the fuel pump drive on the cam base circle.
3. Insert measuring device into the injection pump bore in the cylinder crankcase and
read the value from the dial gauge.
4. Indicated value = thickness of the distance steel plates.
During dismounting / mounting attention must be paid that the appertaining distance steel
plates are not removed. If for any reason removal of the distance steel plates is necessary, they
have to be marked with the relevant cylinder number.
The thickness of the distance steel plates for each cylinder is stated in the acceptance test

Attention! Take care of the pressure valve spring and valve spring.
Insert the digital dial gauge (magnet support) with abt. 3 mm pretension into the bore
for the pressure valve and set it to „0“.
Turn engine into sense of rotation until the digial dial gauge indicates the value
„6.5 mm“ (pre-stroke).
5. Attach the hydraulic connection to the hub for the camshaft gear wheel and
increase the pressure to P = 800 bar.
6. Turn the engine until on flywheel: - 7° - crank angle before TDC for cylinder 1.
Attention! Remove hydraulic connection immediately because otherwise damages are
unavoidable.
7. For checking turn the engine into sense of rotation until the digital dial gauge at
cylinder 1 indicates the value „6.5 mm“.
Now the value - 7° - crank angle before TDC must appear again on the flywheel.
Setting is finished.
This setting must be applied after general overhaul when the fuel injection pumps are
empty.
