Carry out the inspection as follows:

1.
1. Make a general inspection for loose bolts
and screws.
2. Inspect lube oil pipes for damage, and

check jet nozzles for possible stoppages or
deformations.
3. Examine the rubber track of the guideways

for cracks or other damage.
Replace the guideway if bits have started

to be “plucked out” of the rubber track.
M906010251C01
4. Check the teeth of the chain wheels. If ab-
normal wear is found, take a measurement
(see Data).
Measurements are best taken by placing a 4.

short straight-edge over straight part of the
chain wheel and then measuring the dis-
tance D06-18.
5. If abnormal wear is observed at the bottom

of the teeth, make a drawing in scale 1:1 of
the teeth and wear profile.
Draw two rulers on the drawing.

D0618
For assessing the wear profile, contact
MAN Diesel.
M906010245C02
In most cases, scratches caused by the

side plates of the chain will be found on
the sides of the teeth. Such scratches can
generally be considered normal.

matched together to ensure an even load
distribution.
To keep such matching chains in their

pairs, the side plates of the outer link

(840520 2C, possible 3rd chain)
On the same links there is an arrow (–>)

which indicates the mounting direction.
Check the chains for cracks on possibly

defective rollers and side plates.
Check that the chain rollers can run freely

and that the chain links can freely move
on the pin and bushing (that they are not
“seized” between the pin and the bushing).
It is normal, however, that the rollers get

light, circumferential scratches during the
running-in period. These fine scratches are
of no importance and need not be consid-
ered.
It is recommended that each single link is

checked.
7. Check chain wear by measuring the length

of 10 chain links. Use two master squares
and a steel measuring tape as shown on
the sketch. Compare the result with the val-
ues given in Data.
If necessary, adjust the chain tightener.

See Procedure 906-2.3.

Dismantling Page 3 (4)
It may become necessary to disassemble

the chain if, for instance, cracked rollers 1.
or seizures between pin and bushing have
been discovered during the inspection.
Note!
Every time a chain link is disassembled,
a new link must always be fitted as
the link pin press-fit is destroyed when
breaking the chain.
M906010251D01
When a new link is fitted in one chain,
the corresponding link in the other chain
must also be renewed.
1. Remove the tension on the chain by loos-

ening the chain tightener. 2.
(See Procedure 906-2.3).
Turn the engine until the slack part of the

chain, with the chain link that is to be dis-
assembled, is in a favourable position for
the work. If the engine is equipped with
balanceweights, continue the turning until
the balanceweights are hanging vertically
downwards, as shown in the sketch.
2. Mount a wire round the link rollers a short

distance from the disassembly point, and
M906010238D02
tighten the wire lightly with a tackle.
Protect the link rollers over which the wire

is wrapped.
Note! 3.
If the chain is to be completely removed,
contact MAN Diesel for further informa-
tion.
The riveting of the pins that are to be

pressed out is to be chiselled or ground
away.
3. Place the chain bursting tool over the outer

chain link, and dismantle the link by alter-
nately tightening the screws on the tool.

Before assembling the inner and outer links,

1. clean the pins and bushings.
1. Combine the inner chain link with the outer

chain link and mount the compression tool.
Force the loose side plate of the outer

link into place by alternately tightening the
screws on the compression tool.
2. When the link has been assembled, remove

the compression tool and lock the pin ends
by riveting.
M906010238M01
Repeat this procedure until the chain has

been assembled.
Remove the tackle and wire and adjust the

chain tension.

check the running surface of the cams.
M906030220C03
D0627
As the inspection must include the entire
surface of the cam, the cam should be
turned one complete revolution during the
inspection.
5.
The running surface of the cam must be
completely smooth and bright.
6. If light scratches are ascertained, remove

them by carefully polishing the cam in the
direction of rotation with a fine carborun-
dum stone. Such light scratches can ap-
pear if the roller guide and the cam are not
correctly aligned.
In the event of heavier scratches or direct

flaking of the material on the running path,
M906030220C05
MAN Diesel should be contacted for further

instructions.

measure the top clearance of the camshaft
bearing.
Dismount the inspection covers from the

front of the camshaft housing.
Check for wipedout metal at the bearing

ends, and for fragments of metal in the
camshaft housing.
M906040225C01
In the event of any signs of anomalies, the
bearing shell must be dismantled for closer
investigation and, if necessary, the bearing
shell must be replaced.
If no anomalies are found during the visual

inspection, dismantling need not be carried
out.
When checking the camshaft bearings, it is

recommended also to check the condition
of the fuel and exhaust cams.
See Procedures 9085 and 9093.

1. Warning!
Before dismantling any camshaft bear-
ings, the main chain must be relieved of
tension by loosening the chain tightener
to avoid damaging engine parts.
See Procedure 9062.3.
1. Remove the inspection covers on each side

of the bearing from the camshaft housing.
Dismount the lubricating oil connecting

M906040225D01
pipe and the plug screws from the base-

plate above the bearing in question.
Lift the roller guide of the exhaust valve ac-

tuator. See Procedure 9087.

1. For assessment of the bearing condition,

1. see Volume I OPERATION, Chapter 708
‘Bearings’.
Inspect the entire surface of the bearing

journal for seizures.
If seizures are found on the bearing journal

surface (on account of bearing breakdown),
polish the surface with a fine carborundum
stone to reestablish a bright and smooth
D0634 surface.
D0665
By closely examining the sliding surface
M906040225O01
of the bearing shell visually, an impression

can be formed of whether the lubrication of
the bearing surface has been insufficient or
entirely missing. Normally, camshaft bear-
ing damage only occurs due to faulty lubri-
cation.
Measure the thickness of the bearing shell

with a micrometer to check the amount of
wear.

1. Clean the bearing journal, the bearing sup-

port and the bearing shell. 1.
2. Coat the bearing journal and the bearing

shell with plenty of lubricating oil. Mount
the shell on the camshaft, and turn it into
place.
Relieve the hydraulic jack of pressure

to lower the camshaft. Remove the dial
gauge, the pieces of wood and the hydrau-
lic jack from the camshaft housing.
M906040225M01
3. Place the bearing cap on the camshaft and
mount the outermost bearing cap screw.
Note!
Be careful not to scratch the camshaft
surface. 2.
Tighten the outermost screw lightly by

hand until the clearance given in D0633 D0631
is reached. Then mount and tighten the in-
nermost screw with a torque spanner. See
Data D0631. This procedure ensures that
the outermost screw will obtain the correct
torque.
Check the torque on the outermost screw D0633

with a torque spanner.
M906040225M02
Check the clearance D0633 on both sides

of the camshaft. Then mount the lubricating
oil pipe and the plug screws in the base-
plate.
