Marine diesel engine
ENGINE UNIT
FOREWORD
This workshop manual contains repair instructions for the MD5A marine diesel engine. The instructions
concerning overhauling describe the most suitable working method to be used with the special tools listed under
the heading “Special tools”.
Both the engine designation and its serial number must be clearly stated in all correspondence concerning the
engine and when ordering spare parts. We reserve the right to carry out design modifications and, for this
reason, the contents of this manual cannot he regarded as binding.

NEW UNITS OF MEASUREMENT
Technicians have long since tried to establish an internationally standardized system of
measurements. In 1960 a decision was made to use a system called SI (Systéme International
d’Unites). To a large extent, this system is based on earlier systems but the units have been
made uniform so that no conversions are necessary.
The SI-system is now being applied within industry in Europe, This manual contains the new SI-
units. The units used previously however, are also stated but in brackets.
The new units are:
Output is slated in kW (kilowatts)
earlier unit h.p. (horsepower)
Torque is stated in NM (Newton-metres)
earlier unit kpm (kilopond-metres)
Engine speed is stated in r/s (revolutions per second)
earlier unit r.p.m. (revolutions per minute)
Displacement and volumes are stated in dm3 (cubic decimetres)
earlier unit l (litres)
Pressure is stated in Pa (Pascal)
earlier unit kp/cm2 (kiloponds per square centimetre).

Repair instructions
Dismantling
1. Drain the cooling water and the oil from the engine. Clean
externally afterwards. Loosen the water hose between the
gearbox and the sea-water pump and remove the gearbox.
3. Remove the rocker cover and the fuel pipe between the
pump and the injector and unscrew the rocker gear. Note!
Pull the rocker gear straight up since it is centred with a
guide pin 1. The other hole 2 is an oil channel.
2. Remove the generator and its drive belt, starter motor,
fuel filter and fuel pump with the drain-off pipe (be careful of
fuel spillage), coolant water pump with hose and thermostat
housing, dipstick, temperature and oil pressure sensors.
Unscrew and discard the oil filter.
4. Remove the push-rods 1, remove the cylinder head and
the cylinder head gasket. Take care of the washers 2 under
the nuts.
3
5. Remove the flywheel nuts. Spanner jaw width 55 mm
(2 5/32”). Use a wooden shaft or something similar as a
counter force in the flywheel spokes.
7. Remove the cover for the injection pump. Note! The
bracket for the cold start is fixed with one of the screws.
Take care of the spring under the cover.
6. Fit tool 884078 to the flywheel. Afterwards screw in the
centre screw on the tool until the flywheel loosens.
8. Prise the lower ball joint free from the pump with a
screwdriver.
4
9. Remove the pump screws. Position the ball in the centre
and remove the pump. 11. Remove the governor by loosening the hexagonal set
screw (1), the governor and the gear wheel can then be
withdrawn.
10. Remove the sump and then the transmission cover (13
screws). The lifting eye is fixed one of the screws. The cover
is centralised by guide pins.
12. Remove the screw and the locking washer for the
gearbox drive flange on the crankshaft and remove the
flange with a puller. (Use counter force.) Remove the key
afterwards.
5
13.Remove the lubricating oil pump. Discard the gasket. 15. Remove the gearwheel on the camshaft’s flywheel side
(4 screws). Then remove the camshaft and the gearwheel.
14. Remove the cover (flywheel side), 10 screws. The cover
is centred with guide pins. The screws by the guide pins are
fitted with thick washers.
16. Mark and remove the bearing cap on the crankshaft and
carefully knock out the piston through the cylinder.
6
19. Bearing replacement. Press out the camshaft bearings if
they are damaged or if the wear is too great (see technical
data). Clean the bearing housings and ensure that the oil
channels are clean. Press in the new bearings so that the oil
holes face the corresponding oil channels in the block. When
the bearings are pressed in position they are to be reamed
(see technical data).
17. Remove the main bearing caps. Take care of the axial
thrust bearings 1 on the transmission side. Lift the crankshaft
out and the bearing shells afterwards and then the axial
bearing halves.
18. Mark the cylinder liner’s position in the cylinder so that
the same position can be obtained during assembly.
Remove the cylinder liner. Use tool 884551. Use the long
screw and its nut from the tool 884231 (MD21-MD32). See
page 29 Special tools. Discard the 0-ring. Afterwards remove
the 0-rings in the block which provide a seal for the cylinder
liner and then remove the valve lifters. Wash all the parts
and replace those damaged.
Oilpump
20. Remove the gearwheel’s nuts and pull off the gearwheel
with a puller. The gearwheel sits on a key, take care of this
key.
7
21. Remove the steel wire which holds the filter. Remove
and clean the wire gauze thoroughly. Afterwards remove the
six screws which hold the cover in position. Discard the
gasket.
Overhauling the sea-water pump
23. The sea-water pump is a round flange type pump which
means that it can be fitted in a position best suited to the
coolant water hoses. The new pump is fitted with an 0-ring
which forms a seal against the engine.
22. Remove the gearwheel from the housing. Remove the
split pin for the reduction valve. Remove washer 1, spring 2
and piston 3. Clean and replace damaged parts. Assemble
the lubricating oil pump in the reverse order. Note! Fit a new
gasket 4 between the housing and the cover. Fix the wire
mesh 5 in position with the steel wire 6 and finally lay the key
in position and tighten the gearwheel 7.
24. Remove the cover (6 screws). Change the impeller with
the help of two screwdrivers or something similar. Note!
Protect the edges of the pump housing. See the figure. Prise
out the impeller with the screwdrivers so far that the screw
becomes visible.
