This International Service Manual is a 108 page factory guide, published in 1973 (part number 1091624R2), for the Neuss built Basic Diesel Engines. It covers the naturally aspirated D-155, D-179, D-206, D-239, D-246, D-268, D-310, and D-358, plus the turbocharged DT-239, DT-358, and DT-402.Written in English with a full text layer, it documents the complete engine from service diagnosis and specifications through the valve gear, camshaft, cylinder head, crankshaft, pistons, sleeves, and connecting rods. Fuel system coverage includes the VA and VE injection pumps, the nozzle holders, and timing.Cooling, oil pump, water pump, and thermostat service are included, along with a full engine testing section, so a rebuilder or mechanic can work through an overhaul or a targeted repair on any engine in the family.

International D-155 & variants Common Problems This Manual Covers
Hard starting or no-start
Weak compression, air in the fuel system, or poor fuel delivery leave these diesels hard to start, especially cold. The service diagnosis section works through the engine that turns but will not start.
Manual Section: Service Diagnosis p. 9Blue smoke and blow-by
Worn rings, cylinder sleeves, or valve guides raise oil consumption and blow-by on higher hour engines. This section covers piston, ring, and sleeve wear limits and replacement.
Manual Section: Pistons Cylinder Sleeves - Connecting Rods p. 65Overheating and coolant loss
A stuck thermostat, a weak water pump, or scaled passages cause repeated overheating and boil-over. The thermostat section gives opening temperatures and full stroke figures.
Manual Section: Thermostat and Coolant Manifold p. 91Low power under load
Injection pump wear, calibration drift, or a fuel restriction rob the engine of power under load. This section covers pump timing, removal, and installation for the VA and VE pumps.
Manual Section: Injection Pump Ep/Va-Ve p. 93Low oil pressure or bearing knock
A worn oil pump, a clogged pickup, or bearing wear shows up as low oil pressure or a knock. The oil pump section covers gear end play, backlash, and relief valve checks.
Manual Section: Oil Pump p. 84Misfire and rough idle
A fouled or worn injector nozzle causes misfire, white smoke, and a rough idle. The nozzle holder section covers the flange and crab mounted holders and the fuel feed pump.
Manual Section: Injection Nozzle Holder p. 98Frequently Asked Questions
