0041Adjusting Valve Clearance
The exact adjustment of the valve clearance is especially importont for the smooth running
and performance of an engine.
It has to be observed on the engine Model OM 636, that the inlet valve clearance is greater
than the exhaust valve clearance. This is given by the design through the different length of the
rocker arms. Mistakes by exchange have to be avoided by all means during the adjusting of the
valve clearance (position of inlet and exhaust valves see Figure 00-3/2)
If the valve clearance is too small, the valves no longer close satisfactorily and burn out. Too large
valve clearance causes valve noises. Furthermore, incorrect valve clearance causes changes in
timing and reduction of engine power output.

2. Check torque of cylinder head bolts and

according to instructions if necessary (see
Job No, 00-1).
Ist cylinder is at ignition dead center if
the inlet as well as the exhaust valve is
closed. At the same time the rockers 1
cond 2 are released and the valves 7 and 8
of the 4th cylinder are overlapping,
meaning the exhaust valve closes and the
inlet valve opens.
The crankshaft is turned at the fixing
screw (8), with which the pulley is attached
to the crankshaft, by using a 27 mm wide
box spanner with ratchet or a cranked
| double box wrench (see Figure 00-3/1)
In vehicles the crankshaft can also be
. s fumed by shifting into 4th gear and
pushing the vehicle.

Note: During tightening of hex nut the ball-
head bolt must be held fixed and ofter-
wards the valve clearance has to be

It should only be just possible to move the
tolerance gauge between the rocker and
the valve stem end. During the measuring
the tolerance gauge should not be tilted,
it should possibly be inserted vertically to
the valve stem. If the tolerance gouge is
jamming, move rocker sidewards before
adjusting valve clearonce. In many cases
you will observe that the rocker was only
tilted.

1g Injection Nozzles and Glow Plugs
If the engine vibrates and/or runs out-of-round or suddenly shows continuous load combustion
noises (knocking) or drops considerably in power output, these troubles can be caused by
fouled and sticking needles and/or too low opening pressure of the nozzle, faulty pre-combustion
chomber or leaking vacuum system andjor leaky diaphragm. If you have one of these troubles
conduct the following checks and/or operations:
©) Pre-heating Check:
Pre-heat; if the glow control light on the instrument panel is illuminated too brightly or not at
all, then check pre-heating system and determine which glow plug is defective. To do this,
succesively bridge and/or draw sparks at the individual terminals and turn the starting
h to position 1 ct the some time (see Figure 15-32/1 and Job No. 15-33)
Note: A defective glow plug can be an indication that the corresponding nozzle is not in order
or that the pre-combustion chamber has become faulty.
2. Replace faulty glow plug and remove corresponding injection nozzle and pre-combustion
chamber, clean injection nozzle and replace pre-combustion chamber if necessary (see Job
No, 01-1 and Job No, 07-18}
3. Testing glow plugs (see Job No. 15-32)
b) Observation of Exhaust Gases:
While stationary, open throttle fully ond/or portly for o short period and observe the exhaust gas
jet ond watch out for noises (rumble) at the mouth of the exhaust
Irregular black clouds are often on indication that one or several nozzles function irregularly.
‘An increase of the injection volume can also be caused by an extensive reduction of the nozzle
pressure and/or through normal wear or leaky vacuum system or injection pump diaphragm.
Remove injection nozzles, clean and test them (see Job No. 07-17 and Job No. 07-18). (Further
reference is made to Job No. 0-10, Page 0-10/4, Engine is sooting heavily.) Check for leaks at
jection pump governor.
IF on irregular noise (rumble) is observed at the mouth of the exhaust, then one cylinder mis
fires (see following point c, Working and Sound Test).
¢) Running and Sound Test:
1. During idling and increased idling loosen the cap nuts of the individual injection lines at the
injection pump successively by half a turn and tighten again and observe smooth running
and sound of engine.
2. IF there are no changes in the smooth running and sound of the engine while the cap nuts are
loosened, it is an indication for the fact that the corresponding nozzle can be defective and
has to be removed and checked (see Job No. 07-17, and Job No. 07-18).
3. If the engine runs out-of-round w
tion nozzle is faultless.
fone cap nut is loosened, then the corresponding injec-
Note: If the injection nozzles are removed, the pre-combustion chambers must also be visually
checked (see Job No. 01-1), In engines which knock heavily or emit dense exhaust smoke
injection nozzles with a somewhat larger throttle gap should possibly be installed (see Job
No, 07-0 and 07-18}
0-4/1Testing Compression Pressure
Change: Item 6 was changed and nate on page 00-5/2 added
Job No.
00-5
In the event of complaints concerning an engine, e.g. poor performance, poor starting ability, high
oil consumption, extensive smoking of engine, running out-of-round, etc., the compression pressure
should be tested on top of other checks. The compression pressure gives an indication on the condi
tion of the valves and pistons.
The compression test should only be conducted while the engine is warm. With engine cold the
obtained values are unreliable, because they do not correspond to operating conditions.
The compression pressure is measured with a pressure gauge or the generally used compression
tester.
1. Check valve clearance, adjust if necessary
(see Job No. 00-3}.
2, Bring engine to normal operating tem-
perature (cooling water temperature 70 to
80° C)
3, Disconnect power leads and remove glow
plugs with the Spork Plug Wrench Part
No, 136 5890336 or Glow Plug Wrench
Part No. 136 589 03 09.
4, Crank engine several times with the star
ter, so that possible oil carbon residues
and soot are forced out. This is advisable,
because the soot might clog the com-
pression tester.
5. Screw adapter (1) to glow plug hole of
the cylinder to be tested. Tighten adapter
well to obtain proper sealing. With Model
OM 621, also connect the angular piece
part No. 000 587.0090 with the union nut
to the connection fitting (1), when measur-
ing the 2nd and 3rd cylinder. Then connect
the compression pressure recorder (3) with
hose (2) to the connection fitting (1) and
the angular piece, resp. (Fig. 00-5/1).
6. For testing, turn engine with starter 8 times.
Fully open throttle butterfly at the same
time 0 obtain good cylinder charge
{throttle wide open}
Figure 00-5/1
7. Test with this method all 4 cylinders in the
order 1 through 4. Set the test diagram
in the compression tester to the new
working position corresponding to the
cylinder to be tested.
During the individual tests, maintain
similar period of cranking. By using the
Compression Tester Part No. 000 589 69 21
the average compression pressure reached
is approx. 22 to 23 atm,
1 Change Dee. 62 Workshop Manual OM Diesel EnginesThe test results of the individual cylinders
Fahrzeug
should not deviate more than 2 atm, from ee
each other (Figure 00-512) Pree ae ae
If the deviation is larger for one cylinder,
then it is practicable to conduct a second
test.
A compression pressure of only 17 atm. or
less indicates that valves, pistons or piston
rings are in need of repair. If considerably
lower pressures are registered for two ad-
jacent cylinders as compared to the others,
then the cylinder head gasket between these
two cylinders is leaking os a rule.
Figure 00-5/2
fo
Note: The engines of types 621.912 and 913 are equipped with a valve turning device for inlet
‘and exhaust valve, which provides for longer life of the valves. If the valve turning device
does not function properly, a drop in compression pressure will occur, with the result of leaky
valves. If a drop in compression pressure is noticed (rated value of 20 to 23 atti 284-327 psi
drops to 13 to 15 all 185-213 psi) it will be sufficient to install only o new valve turning
device (6) for each of the inlet and exhaust valve in the cylinder in which a drop of compres-
sion pressure prevails. (Refer to Fig. 01-6/6,) The valves ore sealed by turning the device and
the compression pressure will rise again.
In order to make double sure, « second check of compression pressure after approx. 3000 km.
(2000 miles) should be performed. If the result is not fully satisfying, remove cylinder head
‘ond check valves, valve seats, pistons, piston rings and cylinder paths for wear, and repair.
0-5/2Checking and Adjusting of Feed Begin
00-6
The exact adjustment of the feed begin is of decisive importance for the power output and the
sotisfactory operation of the engine. The spcified adjustment data of the feed begin for vehicles
of the different types and fields of application (see Job No. 00-0)
If the engine is equipped with an injection timing device, the feed begin is advanced in relation
to the engine speed between 26 deg (basic adjustment) and 38 deg BIDC ot 3500 rpm (also see
Job No. 07-4, VI,, Description of the Injection Timing Device),

|. Checking the Markings for Top Dead Center (OT) and Feed Begin (FB)
Since the engines are equipped with different and differently marked flywheels or a flywheel
could be mounted wrongly, the markings for top dead center ond the feed begin must be checked
before the checking and adjusting of the feed begin, to make absolutely sure, that the piston of
the Ist cylinder is actually at top dead center ond feed begin respectively.
Only the correct and exact adjustment of the feed begin guarantees the full power output and the
smooth and safisfactory operction of the engine.
The engines of all types of the model OM 636 are therefore now furnished with a timing needle
and with a TDC-marking and markings at 20 deg, 25 deg and 30 deg before top dead center on
the belt pulley of the crankshaft for the easy checking and adjusting of the feed begin (see Figure

I Checking Feed Begin with the Overflow Method on Removed or Installed Engines
1. Set the piston of the 1st cylinder to ignition
dead center (see Job No. 00-3, Pos. 3)
nd check morking according to Job No.
00-6, Pos. I.
2. Remove the glow plug of the Ist cylinder,
turn the crankshaft approximately 50 deg
in the opposite direction, so that the crank-
shaft is approx. 50 deg BTDC and approx.
20 deg before feed begin.
The gear backlash is eliminated or the
chain is kept tensioned by the fact that the
crankshaft is again turned in the correct
sense of rotation between 50 deg BTDC
cand the feed begin. This is the reason why
the crankshaft should by all means be
turned back to approx. 50 deg BTDC and
not only just to feed begin.
Note: On engines with injection timing device
the crankshaft must always be turned in
the correct sense of rotation, so that the
centrifugal weights are not forced out of
their idling stop position.
Therefore, turn the engine 134 revolutions
in direction of rotation. Furthermore, be-
fore each checking of the feed begin the
injection timing device has to be checked
for its idling stop position.
To do this remove the lid of the timing
housing cover. Then check with finger
whether the centrifugal weights are in their
idling stop position (see Figure 0-6/8).

Hold the injection timing device in the
idling stop position by means of a double’
box wrench which is held in place by a
long spring (see Figure 00-6/8 and 00-
6/80), to make sure that the centrifugal
weights remain in the idling stop position
during the adjusting of the feed begin. This
device prevents the centrifugal weights
from moving during the cranking of the
engine even in reverse direction).

causes « retarded feed begin.
The injection pump is set to feed begin if
the fuel has just stopped dripping at the
overflow tube. After approx. 15 0 20 se-
conds one additional drop may follow
{see Figure 00-6/13). Fix injection pump
in this position by tightening 2 hex nuts
and check adjustment again (see Sec-
tion I
Note: During the turning of the injection pump
remove injection lines, if necessary.
5, If the adjustment is correct, tighten all hex
nuts well for attachment of injection pump.
6, Unscrew the fuel tank (1} and the over-
flow tube (4) (see Figure 00-6/10).7. Unscrew pipe connection nipple (4), install
pressure valve (2) and tension spring (3)

V. Checking and Adjusting Feed Begin with Stroke Advance Tester
The feed begin can also be adjusted with the Stroke Advance Tester Part No. 000 589 68.21 for
the OM 636 and with the tester Part No. 000 58985 21 for the OM 621 on removed engines. On
installed engines the use of the stroke advance tester is not possible on all types due to the limited
space. In this case determine the feed begin by measuring the stroke advance of the plunger.
The Feed Begin for all Inje
Pumps of the Engines Model OM 636 and OM 621 correspond
to a Stroke Advance of the Pump Plunger of 1.7 + 0.1 mm, starting at Bottom Dead Center.
4) Checking Feed Begin
1, Remove the protecting cover of the in
jection pump tappet housing
2, Rotate engine in operational direction until
the push rod for the piston of the Ist pump
cylinder is at bottom dead center.
3, Put stroke advance tester (1) to the pump
in such a way thot the measuring pin (2)
comes to rest on the push rod of the first
pump cylinder (see Figure 00-6/16). The
dial gouge must be pre-loaded approx.
0.5 mm at the same time. Then turn the
scale of the dial gauge so that the needle
points to zero.

00-7
The camshaft gear wheel and the crankshaft timing gear are furnished with markings for checking
the adjustment of the camshaft in relation to the crankshaft (see Figure 00-7/1)
However, these markings con only be seen if the timing housing cover has been removed.
In order to allow a checking of the adjustment between camshaft and crankshaft even while the
timing housing cover is installed, the drive gear wheels of the injection pump have been furnished
with additional markings (see Figure 00-7/3).
The driving geor of the injection pump drive on the camshaft is mounted together with the cam-
shaft gear on the camshaft by a pin and secured by a hexagon screw. Therefore, the position
of the driving gear on the camshaft corresponds exactly to the position of the camshaft gear
wheel.

the crankshaft, also refer fo the checking of
timing (Job No. 00-8 and Job No. 05-36).Testing Timing
In general, there ore no changes in the valve timing of the engine Model OM 636 or only slight
‘ones due to the wear of the timing gears and cams, but this has no essential effect on the power
output of the engine.
It might happen, however, that by installing the wrong or inexactly machined camshaft the timing
no longer corresponds to the specified values. Furthermore, a shifting of the timing is caused by
can incorrect setting of the camshaft. In other words, the timing is shifted by the same amount and
in the same direction as the camshaft is incorrectly set.
In the case of the OM 621 the timing may vary after a longer period of operation owing to re-
machining of the separating surfaces of the cylinder crankcase or of the cylinder head or owing
to an elongation of the double roller chain. Generally, this slight variation will not seriously affect
the power of the engine. If necessary, it can, however, be corrected by offsetting a key on the
camshaft.
Because the feed begin is also varied thereby, it is imperative to check and correct it in all these
cases (see Job No. 00-6).
Testing the timing with the specified valve clearance (operating valve clearance) is not suffi
ciently accurate. Therefore, the timing of the inlet and exhaust valves is listed for a valve
clearance of 0.4 mm,
But this test valve clearance is not adjusted, only the test measurements are conducted at a valve
lift of 0.4 mm, because this method is considerably more accurate.
By measuring at a valve lift of 0.4 mm the some timing is obtained as by basing the test on the
valve clearance of 0.4 mm.
In general, itis sufficient to carry out the testing of the
the Ist cylinder only.

Note: Overlapping dead center = TDC prior to suction stroke. If the space between the valves
‘and the piston is smaller than stated in the table, lower valve seat correspondingly. (See Job

piston crown, or on valve disk, respectively.

Action of the Fuel Feed Pump 0-9
and Checking the By-Pass Valve
Change: Fuel noise and muffler added
The fuel feed pump has the task to deliver the fuel with a certain pressure but without bubbles to
the suction space of the injection pump. Insufficient output of a pump causes engine trouble.
Especially an engine operated in the full load range and at high speeds demands a certain charg-
ing pressure to maintain @ satisfactory fuel supply to the pump elements. This charging pressure
is kept at @ constant rate by the by-pass valve which is installed in the main fuel filter with the
OM 636 and at the end of the suction space of the injection pump with the OM 621, opening at a
pressure of 1 fo 1.5 aim.
The discharge pressure can be checked in a simple way without any means as follows, provided
that the by-pass valve is adjusted correctly:
Disconnect the return line at the return line connector of the tank and put the end of the hose in
© suitable container. Start engine. If fuel flows out while the engine is in operation, then the dis-
charge pressure is higher than the opening pressure of the by-poss valve of 1 to 1.5 atm. The check-
ing of the discharge pressure and/or opening pressure is more difficult at by-pass valves which
cre furnished with a groove and/or hole in the valve disk fo eliminate a ticking in the fuel lines
from and to the tank (see Page 09-3/4). In this case, the fuel jet leaving the end of the hose must
be stronger.
However, such a check is not sufficient in all cases. A more exact testing is possible by employ-
ing the Feed Pump Tester 000 589 49 21 (see Figure 00-9/1). With the help of this instrument the
testing of the peak pressure during the discharge stroke, the vacuum during the suction stroke
and also the exact opening pressure of the by-pass valve has been made possible. Furthermore,
@ glass tube installed in the instrument allows the observation of the fuel during the above tests,
so that it can be seen whether the fuel is delivered without air.

where infiltrated air is sucked into the sys-
tem, the instrument is first connected to
the suction end of the feed pump and then,
to the discharge end.
If air bubbles can already be observed
while the instrument is connected to the
suction end, the leak is between the fuel
tank and the fuel feed pump.
7. In addition to the above tests, the instru-
ment can also be exploited to check the
throughput of the filter. To make this test,
connect the instrument between the fuel
main filter and the injection pump. The
pressure obtained here should only be
slightly less than the indicated pressure
before the filter.
Very fouled filter cartridges cause a reduc-
tion of pressure and possibly engine
trouble.
To dampen the fuel noises in the lines a muffler (Part No. 189 070 05 68 or Part, No. 198 070 00 68)
can be installed into the fuel return line between injection pump or by-pass valve and fuel main
filter or crosspiece, respectively.

If in spite of an installed muffler there are still
fuel noises in the lines, the diaphragm of the
muffler should be checked. A torn and damag-

‘When screwing together the upper and lower
portion of the muffler, press diaphragm toward
the top (Part No. 189.070 00 52).Bleeding Fuel System
In order to obtain a satisfactory performance of the engine it is necessary that the injection pump
is charged with fuel contai
1g no bubbles. Air in the fuel system can cause heavy knocking and
«@ reduction of engine output and in certain cases starting trouble.
In general, the bleedi
of the fuel system is only necessary if the connections and lines are loosen-
ed. However, bleeding can also become necessary during the operation, if the feed pump sucks
infiltrated air.

1. Unscrew bleeder screw (1) at fuel main filter
1 to 2 turns (see Figure 00-10/1).
Note: OM 621: the bleeder screws arranged
hitherto laterally have been omitted and
are now replaced by one bleeder screw (5)
ot the top of the injection pump, ie. ot the
rear and of the suction space (see Figure
00-103).

Then close again the bleeder screw (1) (see
Figure 00-10/1),
3. On OM 636 unscrew the two bleeder screws

Operate hand pump again until fuel without

By tightening the control knob the pump
plunger is pressed onto a gasket ring thus
sealing the hand pump. If the control knob
is loose, the hand feed pump leaks during
‘operation.
b) Bleeding injection lines
With the OM 621 bleeding of the injection
lines is not necessary, since these are very
short (approx. 320 mm long as compared
to approx. 750 mm with the OM 636).

necessary ifthe lines had been disconnected
‘and had therefore been completely drained.

00-11
The idling speed of an engine is the lowest speed at which the unloaded engine continues to run
without stolling; during this operation the engine is only carrying the load caused by its internal
friction and the aggregates such as generator, injection pump, fan etc. which are always coupled
with the engine.
Therefore, the engine needs a small injection quantity. This is automatically adjusted by the gover-
nor of the injection pump, as soon as the throttle butterfly is in the idling position.
The engine must be at operating temperature to allow the correct adjustment of the idling speed
(cooling water temperature at least 60° C]. The engine can be warmed up during a previous short
trial run if necessary.
The specified idling speed should only be adjusted at the throttle duct and not at the injection
pump governor. The adjustment of the helper spring in the governor serves only to eliminate
"sawing and galopping” during idling {see Job No. 07-8, Section Ill).
The idling speed should be set to 550 to 600 rpm for OM 636 and 700 to 800 rpm for the OM 621.
IF no revolution counter or no hand revolution indicator is available, then the charging control
light can be employed as « serviceable indicator. The idling speed is adjusted in such a way that
the charging control light is just dimmed. The idling speed of diesel engines should rather be
adjusted too high than too low in order to obtain a smooth and balanced operation of the engine.
Furthermore, this will reduce the strain on the flexible suspension of the engine and exhaust
essembly used for passenger car engines
@) Adjusting the idling speed at the throttle Regarding the OM 621: besides the operations

or loosening the idling stop screw (2)

b) Adjusting the bowden cable of the

Adjust the bowden cable only after the
idling speed hos'been adjusted at the idling

1. Turn the knob at the instrument panel fully
clockwise.
2. Clamp the set ring on the wire cable in
such a way that there is a distonce of 0.1 to
0.2 mm between set ring and throttle lever
or angular lever resp., so that, the idling
stop screw surely touches ifs stop on the

5 Sepponing corerAdjusting No-Load Maximum Speed
Change: Note and Table on Poge 00-1212 added
In the highest speed range of an engine there are two speeds, the full-load mox. speed and the
no-load mox. speed.
Higher maximum speeds as those stated (see Job No. 00-0 and 0-2) ore net permissible for me-
chanical reasons and because of carrying along of oil and dirt from the air filter.
©) Full-Load Max. Speed:
The full-load max. speed, also called rated speed, is the speed which the engine should reach
‘at max. power output. The throttle butterfly is fully opened against the full-load stop. At low
speed there is at first only a small vacuum in the vacuum chamber. The vacuum necessary for
governing and the required force to pull back the control rod in the direction STOP will only
be obtained if the throttle butterfly is fully opened and during full-load max. speed. At the some
time, the compensating spring will be completely relieved but is still lightly resting on the full-
load stop (see Fig. 07-4/13). As soon as the engine has reached its full-load max. speed the pulling
back of the control rod in the direction STOP begins and with it the limitation of the no-load
max. speed (beginning of governing)
b) No-Load Max. Speed:
The no-load max. speed is the speed which the engine can reach in extreme cases but should never
surpass for longer periods without endangering the engine or one of the units driven by the
engine.
IF for instance the throttle is opened fully while stationary or during a downhill drive, the speed
surpasses the full-load mox. speed. The vacuum increases so that the diaphragm is lifted away
from the full-load stop and is pulled further in the direction STOP against the Stupser.
Even though the governor goes into action (the injected quantity becomes smaller) while the dia-
phragm is leaving the full-load stop, the engine speed still increases due to the small load. The
speed continues to increase until the diophragm is pulled so far back that the pump plunger
passes the partial load and idling position and reaches the range of no delivery. The Stupser is
compressed during this process. The diaphragm and control rod thus travel through the idling
position into the no-delivery range of the injection pump as is exactly the case during the stopp-
ing of the engine (Figure 074/14 and Figure 07~4/15}. Therefore, a further speed increase is im-
possible in this position of the governor (end of governing).
Note: The above description shows that the position of the Stupser is of essential importance for
the no-load mox. speed. A required adjustment of the Stupser fo smoothen idling operation
should therefore be conducted very carefully (see Job No, 07-8, Section Ill),
¢) Adjusting No-Load Max. Speed:
Warm up engine, then accelerate by opening throttle butterfly, as far as possible and measure
no-load max. speed with revolution counter. If the no-load max. speed is higher than specified
for the respective type in the technical data (see page 0-1/11 and next page, as well as 0-2/1)
The full-load stop screw must be screwed in so far thot the specified speed will be obtained (see
Figure 00-11/1)
00-12/1
T= Change Dee. 62 — Workshop Manual OM Diesel EnginesIf the no-load max. speed is not reached, then open the throttle butterfly and/or increase the speed
by unscrewing the full-load stop serew (1) (Figure 00-11/1)
Since the vacuum of the individual engines are never exactly the same, it may happen that the
full-load stop screw and/or the throttle butterfly position during full throttle have to be adjusted
(see Job No. 07-23)
IF the throttle butterfly is already opened as far as possible, the governing spring of the injection
pump must be further pre-loaded by means of spacer rings (for OM 636 see Fig. 00-12/1, Pos. 20,
for OM 621 see Fig. 00-12/2, Pos. 14). Then measure no-load max. speed and if it corresponds
to the valves listed in the technical data, attach lead seal to governor housing of injection pump
{see Figure 07-5/1), The subsequent installation of a spacer ring must therefore be done by one of
‘our agencies which are in possession of lead pliers of the Bosch company, or it must be done in
cooperation with the nearest Bosch Service Agency. The installation of one spacer ring 1 mm thick
results in an average increase in engine speed of approx. 120 to 150 rpm on the OM 636, depend-
ing on the properties of the individual governing spring,

between Glow Starter Switch and Injection Pump
‘A. OM 636
1. Turn the handle (2) of the glow starter switch (1) fully counterclockwise (stop position) and at the
same time have a second person check the position of the control lever (6) at the injection pump.
In this position the control lever (5) at the injection pump must be fully drawn back to the stop
position by the eye (4) of the cable control (see Figure 00-13/1). The plungers of the injection
pump are then in the no-delivery position, the engine no longer receives fuel and stops.
The cable control can be adjusted by shifting the wire spircl (sleeve) in the fixing clip or by
moving the wire cable in the lever of the glow starter switch. The control lever (5) must be
securely fixed on the shaft of the injection pump (see Figure 00-13/1).

3, Turn the handle (2) of the glow starter switch (1) ully clockwise starting position) and at the same
time have a second person check the position of the control lever (5) at the injection pump. In
this position the bolt of the control lever (5) must touch at the other side of the eye (4) (opposite
to the stop position) and the control lever (5) must be pressed forward completely (see Figure
00-13/2). Thus the control rod has been shifted in the direction “full” beyond the full load
stop to starting quantity
4, Release the handle (2) of the glow starter switch, the handle goes to the driving position, posi-
tion 0. In the driving position 0 as well as in the pre-heating position 1 the bolt of the control
lever should not touch the eye on either side.
5. Connect the ground cable with the negative pole of the battery.
6. Start engine, operate engine for a short period, turn knob of idling control (if installed) fully
clockwise and stop engine again.
If there are difficulties in adjusting, that is if the starting and stop position cannot be adjusted
satisfactorily, a small part of the starting quantity can be abandoned in favor of a satisfactory
stop position
0013/1Note: For built-in engines of fork lifts the starting quantity can be abandoned completely, if a
short and dense smoke jet appears during starting.
In such cases remove the cable control and attach a simple linkage to the control lever of
the injection pump, which allows the stopping of the engine.

C. General
The engine should only be removed for a general overhaul if a bearing has been damaged or if
it has been determined beyond doubt that an excessive oil consumption or decrease of output is
due to faulty pistons and cylinders etc. (see Job No. 0-10).
In addition to special knowledge and experience, special machine tools, measuring instruments,
gauges and special devices are needed for the testing and repairing of engines, as it is described
in the following Job Numbers.
In the interest of the customers we therefore recommend utilizing the possibility os far as possible
of exchanging complete engines (replacement engines) or individual components, such as cylinder
crankcases, crankshafts, complete moving part assemblies, oil, water, fuel feed and injection
pumps etc.
These exchange units have been repaired in accordance with modern production methods and
guarantee a satisfactory performance.
Clean and test all parts and assemblies which have been removed (see testing and repairing
operations). Damaged components such as screws, nuts, washers, lockwashers etc. must be checked
whether they are fit for re-use; replace if necessary. They must not be reinstalled if damaged.
Gaskets, sealing rings, locking plates, split pins etc. must always be replaced.
Special cleanliness and care is necessary during the assembly and handling of reconditioned
parts. A small damage on the surface of a ground shaft e.g. can cause the sticking of a bearing
or other damages. Therefore, it is necessary before the assembly to check all ground and accu-
rately machined parts for possible subsequent damages, which have to be repaired. It is also
imperative to observe absolute cleanliness when assembling,
Repair size specifications for the remachining of the cylinder bores, the crankshaft journals and
pins and the camshaft bearing pins, as well as its bearings and the valve tappets allow proper
overhauls of the engines. The data and specifications given in the tables are obligatory for all our
repair shops.
In addition to the usual equipment an engine assembly trestle should be available in repair shops
where mojor repairs are carried out. An assembly trestle is necessary, because by using some most
disassembly and assembly operations can be carried out considerably faster, easier and cleaner.
The engine can be turned in the assembly trestle thus giving free access to all ports of the engine.
Parts which cannot be removed and installed in the vehicle, e.g. pistons, connecting rods, crank-
shaft ond camshafts should always be removed and installed in the assembly trestle
The Engine Assembly Trestle BE 10488/1-6 can not only be used for the diesel engine Model OM
636 and OM 621 but also for all of our other passenger car engines. The only change required is
to exchange the supporting arms and fixing bors (see Figure 00-20/1).
00-20/317. Removal and installation of pistons and connecting rods (see Job No. 03-11)
18. Disassembly and assembly of cylinder crankcase (see Job No. 01-25).
19. Removal and instollation of front seal ring for crankshaft, engine not removed (see Job No.
03-3),
20. Removal and installation of double roller chain, with assembled engine (see Job No. 05-27},
