Part of the Yanmar Repair Manuals.
Dropping a cylinder head back onto a small Yanmar diesel without the nut sequence and torque figure in front of you is how heads warp and gaskets weep. This factory-level service manual covers the Yanmar T-(H)LE series two and three cylinder diesels: 2T72HLE, 2T75HLE, 3T72HLE, 3T75HLE, 2T90LE, 3T80LE and 3T90LE, whether the engine is still installed or stripped on a stand.
Across 286 pages it works through the cylinder head and valves, pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, camshaft and timing gear, lubrication, cooling, the fuel injection pump and nozzles, governor, air induction, the electrical system with wiring diagram, and P.T.O. facilities, then finishes with full disassembly and assembly procedures and a troubleshooting chapter.
Each system chapter opens with service information, inspection limits and tightening torques, so you rebuild to spec instead of guessing. Delivered as a bookmarked English PDF you can download and print.
