IanT90 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Can anyone advise I am unable to find a definitive tightening sequence for the rocker bolts. Manual provides the torque and additional tightening angle but no sequence. Tried looking on line but only found one for 200tdi which is different configuration. Anyone out there who can help I would appreciate the help and advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave88sw Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Do you mean tightening down the rocker shaft or adjusting the tappets? To tighten down the rocker shaft, lay the shaft in the head making sure you've aligned the push rods with the balls on the rockers as far as possible, fit all the bolts and wind down by hand until they touch the shaft. It takes a little while but from here on you need to tighten each bolt a little at a time paying close attention to how the shaft is pulled down, you will be able to see if one end is being pulled in more than the other or where there is tension on the shaft, the aim is to tighten it down keeping it level. This often involes lots of half turns on all the bolts. Keep going until the shaft is all the way down then torque to the figure in the workshop manual.

ejparrott Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Have a look on Youtube, Chris did a video a bit back - Land Rover Toolbox videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanT90 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yes its the rocker shaft I watched the you tube video toolbox but it was for a 200tdi struggling to remember but thought it was 4 nuts, 5 on the 300tdi. I reckon I could get the rocker on and tightened upto the torque setting After that not sure which sequence to tighten them in ! Outer first then middle then two in between or reverse ? Cannot seem to find the actual torque sequence for tightening ? If you have any idea much appreciated I have a nice sequence to follow in the manual for the head bolts but nothing for the rocker ?

ejparrott Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I thought he'd done a 300 to? Chris usually does mention the differences between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanT90 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Actually I was wrong it is a 200tdi but there is 5 bolts/nuts to tighten and he doesn't specify a sequence but does suggest tightening from central out. Difference is 300tdi is torqued to 5Nm then 50° with angle wrench. The 200tdi you just torque to 28Nm he only discusses the 200tdi on video. Thank glad i re-visited the video now its a lot clearer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
