Cchase Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 What is the purpose of this bolt (or row of bolts) just above the fuel injection pump in a 12J diesel? Twas leaking oil so I tightened it up. Thanks, Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 On my 200 it just holds a harness clip. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I think they locate the cam followers on a 200tdi but it's a long time since I took one apart. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil110 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I have vague recollections of this row of bolts being secured with lockwire. Or is my sepia tinted memory failing me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 they retain the cam follower sleeves in the block, Total of 8 bolts one for each cam follower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I haven't come across lockwire on the 19J and 12Js I have worked on. Just a dab of threadlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Series 2.25s had wired bolts, at least on my lightweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 That is where I have seen them, I had a Dutch 2.25 diesel Lightweight. Oddly enough, the place I bought it from still has some for sale. http://www.ljacksonandco.com/index.php/search-results-by-description/article/11518 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
