Part of the Yanmar Repair Manuals.
Setting valve lash on a 1GM10 or timing the injection pump on a 3HM35 stalls fast without the factory figures, and guessing at a head bolt sequence is how a rebuild goes wrong. This Yanmar service manual (publication 0000 A0A1361) puts the same 474 pages Yanmar's own technicians work from on your bench, covering the GM series marine diesels 1GM10(C), 2GM20(F)(C), 3GM30(F)(C), and 3HM35(F)(C) in both sea-water and fresh-water cooled versions.
Inside are teardown and reassembly procedures for the basic engine, fuel injection system, governor, lubrication system, both cooling systems, and the reduction and reversing gear, plus specifications, cross-sections, and piping diagrams. Chapter 9 even walks through converting a sea-water cooled engine to fresh water cooling.
It downloads as a bookmarked PDF, so the specs travel with you: a laptop at the bench, a phone in the engine bay, or printed pages clipped beside a torn-down block.
