The main bearings have are of the angular contact type with offset inner races so that the balls transmit loads from one groove to the other along straight lines at an angle to the axis of the bearing. The angle-contact ball bearings are designed for bearing combined loading (radial-axial loads).
Bearings of this type can bear thrust loads in one direction only. In fact, under the action of a radial load inside the bearing, an axial force is created that must be counterbalanced by an axial force acting in the opposite direction; that is Why these bearings are generally fitted back to back in pairs.
Note
The main bearings supplied can be bearings with bushing (a) or flanged bearings (b) with the bushing integrated in the external ring of the bearing.
To renew the bearings proceed as follows:
Bearings with bushing
Important
On worn engines, the bearing holder may no longer be a tight fit in the crankcase half.
After having removed the bushing, check that the interference fit between the crankcase and the bushing, with bearing fitted, is no less than 0.03 Mm, otherwise, replace the crankcase halves.
Note
Fit the bearings (1) and (18) orienting them so that the side with the "letter" (c) is facing the bushings (2) and (17).
Flanged bearings
Important
On badly worn engines, bearing outer rings may have developed clearance in the crankcase halves - normally, bearing outer rings are interference-fit in the casing.
Check that the interference fit between the crankcase and the bearings (1) and (18) installed, is not less than 0.03 Mm, otherwise, replace the crankcase halves.
Important
After installing new main bearings, shim the crankshaft as described in the paragraph "shimming the shafts" and "reassembly of the crankcase halves" of this section.
Checking and adjusting timing belt tension
Note
The on-screen icons used during this procedure are explained in a table at
the end of this section.
Note
This operation, which is performed using the dds diagnosis instrument, has
the advantage that it can be carried out on
both timing belts with the engine still installed on the frame. ...

Air temperature sensor
Introduction
The engine control system on the diavel uses a sensor that measures air
temperature. This sensor has a resistance of
ntc type (negative temperature coefficient), that reduces its own value when the
temperature increases. The air
temperature sensor allows the engine control unit t ...
