Removal: Cut off the old valve stem at the shaft end and chamfer the resulting joint face
against upsettings. Grind valve plate until it fits in the valve seat ring, connect the valve
plate in the valve seat ring with 4 welding seams and extrude the valve seat.
Fitting on board: After extruding, clean the valve seat bore with fine emery cloth. Cool the
valve seat ring down to 20 C and heat the cylinder head up to 130 C. Put the valve seat
ring in the bore and force it in with the old valve stem. After about 5 minutes, move the
valve seat into its final position by means of a setting blow, afterwards there must be no
clearance between seat ring and contact surface in the cylinder head.
Another method is: Cool the valve seat ring down in liquid nitrogen (-190 C) or in dry ice
(-70 C) and heat the cylinder head slowly up by a soft flame. Insert the valve seat ring
and after about 5 minutes a valve stem and bring it into the final position by means of a
setting blow. Afterwards there must be no clearance between seat ring and contact surface
in the cylinder head. Any protruding edges from the seat ring to the inlet port are to be
smoothed off.
Fitting in the workshop
1. Cool the valve seat ring down in liquid nitrogen to -190 C and insert it in the
cylinder head.
2. Shortly press the valve seat ring on with the device 1.70.7-92.22.00-10.
Tighten nut of the pressing device with

3. In cold shrunk-in condition there must be no clearance between valve seat ring and

Valve stems can be reused without refinishing if:
1. the valve cone surface is metallically bright on the whole circumference,
2.
the valve cone surface does not show included coke particles which may result in
blow-bys,
3. cracking was not detected in the valve cone surface by crack test with luminous
magnifying glass (eightfold magnification) or powder spraying method (Met-L-Chek) or
by a magnaflux test,
4. the deviation from straight is not > 0.04 mm
5. the deviation from true running of the valve cone is not > 0.03 mm
A valve stem is unusable in case of corrosive material wear of > 2 % of the valve disk
diameter and in case of high-temperature corrosion of > 2.5 mm on the bottom side of the
valve disk.

Refinishing of the valve cone surfaces
Refinish valve cone acc. to sketch. Do not
refinish the existing fillet. After grinding
determine the dimension between the visible

outside edge of the seat surface. When it is
less than the minimum size exchange the
valve cone.
Round off the outside edge with a stone.
If the valve cone is refinished the valve seat
must be refinished, too.

Camshaft with additional masses
1100 KW/cyl. engines
The camshaft of the 1100 KW engines is provided with additional masses at the cylinders
5, 6, 7 and 8 which are mounted between the fuel and exhaust cams.
Should it be necessary to change a fuel cam of the above-mentioned cylinders the
respective additional mass must be removed because the space for a repair cam is not
sufficient. This proceeds as follows:
1.
In case only one fuel cam is changed, the removed mass is to be mounted at
cylinder 4. Drilling of a new pin hole is not necessary.
2.
In case two fuel cams must be changed, all additional masses are to be
removed and a vibration damper assembly for the camshaft must be mounted
according to drawing
No. 1.80.7-62.29.00-01.
Attention:
The now open pin holes must not be sharp-edged. They must be rounded carefully.

During assembly of the fuel injection pumps particular attention must be paid to the
coincidence of marks. After correct fitting you can look through from the inlet to the outlet
opening.
Basic setting
The basic setting must only be carried out if:
1. the injection pump or the injection pump drive was exchanged,
2. the mark commencement of fuel delivery does not coincide with the dead center
indicator. Turn roller on the base circle of cam, check if line mark - 1 - on the spring
cup coincides with line mark - 2 - on the pump casing. In case of deviations: Unscrew
clamping screws - 4 - and adjust thrust bolt - 5 - until coincidence of line marks is
reached. Tighten clamping screws again.
