These are great engines. The only weakness is the kolbenschmidt brake vacuum pump which is attached to the front cam. It locks solid and snaps the timing belt. Fortunately the engine has sacrificial snap points on the rockers. If the valves collide with the pistons, they simply break the rocker arms and no other damage (£5 a piece) The best diesel engine going. You can run it with no fear

Cheers, all I needed to know was how to get the serpentine belt off, so I can drop the air con pump, as I've got to re-tap the threads on the thermostat water pipe to the head, where the previous guy had threaded it, got the whole front off to do it, and the air con pipe is just in the way to get a straight line in to re-tap, annoying, but I'm fairly sure that by releasing it from the block, I should have enough clearance by letting it rest on something.

I've had the engine it's solid, compared to the newer models. Z19DTH is amazing, only preventive measures I had to take, was swirl flap delete. And oil catch can.

I used to push this engine to its limits probably everyday for a long time 😂. Only one time had problem and that was swirl flap. Buy delete kit for £20 and done

Is there a chance you would tell me where you started putting the belt on (cam or crankshaft)? Thanks
@itsotthd33293 ай бұрын
a little late but maybe it will help others with the same question. you can work whichever way you find easiest. start at the tensioner and then work round either way so any slack in the belt is at the tensioner, ready to be taken out when tensioned! as an example, i would personally start at the tensioner, then go round the crank, then the cam, and end at the fuel pump

I have watched a lot of videos about mechanical repairs, and I have to ask why do they all have to wear a smart or expensive watch, risking damage to the face. Rings and watches should be removed, but if you prefer to wear them then go ahead.

I agree about rings it can be a hazard in some situations now regarding the smart watch I see it as a tool I use it when recording videos and run 👍
