Yanmar 3JH2 Series Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar 3JH2 oil pressure alarm sounds after one hour of operation and complete oil loss p. 125
Inspect the lube oil pump assembly for severe internal leaks. Measure the outer rotor and inner rotor clearance as shown on page 125. If the gap exceeds the standard 0.050 ~ 0.105 mm (0.0019 ~ 0.0041 in.), replace the oil pump assembly.
Manual Section: Chapter 5 Lubrication SystemTemperature alarm activates under heavy load and the marine engine overheats rapidly p. 149
Drain the cooling water system and remove the thermostat. Check the thermostat opening temperature on page 149 to verify it opens at 75 ~ 78 °C. Replace the thermostat every year or 2000 hours of operation as detailed on page 150.
Manual Section: Chapter 6 Cooling Water SystemPersistent inability to start or frequent stalling under heavy marine engine load p. 99
Replace the fuel filter element every 300 hours as instructed on page 99 to prevent fuel starvation. Inspect the fuel injection nozzles for clogging. When reassembling, torque the nozzle nut to 4 ~ 4.5 kg-m (28.9 ~ 32.5 ft-lb) according to page 92.
Manual Section: Chapter 3 Fuel Injection EquipmentExcessive engine vibration and unusual internal knocking sounds at high operating RPM p. 51
Check the crankshaft and main bearing clearances. Remove the oil pan and inspect for internal wear. Torque the main bearing cap bolts to 10.5 ~ 11.5 kg-m (75.92 ~ 83.15 ft-lb) as specified on page 51 to eliminate loose mounting noise.
Manual Section: Chapter 2 Basic Engine PartsFrequently Asked Questions
What are the replacement specifications for the Lube Oil Pump assembly?
The manual provides specifications for the lube oil pump, including an engine speed of 3600 rpm, a gear ratio of 28/29 (crank gear/pump gear), and a pump speed of 3477 rpm. For inspection, the standard clearance between the outer rotor and inner rotor is 0.050 ~ 0.105 mm (0.0019 ~ 0.0041 in.), with a wear limit of 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.). The standard clearance between the outer rotor and pump body is 0.100 ~ 0.170 mm (0.0039 ~ 0.0066 in.).
What is the tightening torque for the cylinder head bolts?
When assembling the cylinder head, the cylinder head bolts should be tightened in two steps. The first step requires a torque of 3.5 ~ 4.5 kg-m (25.32 ~ 32.55 ft-lb), and the second step requires 7.5 ~ 8.5 kg-m (54.25 ~ 61.48 ft-lb).
What is the lubricating oil capacity for the marine gear system?
For the KBW10E marine gear model, the lubricating oil capacity is 0.2/0.7 ℓ (12.204/42.714 cu.in.). For the KM3A model, it is 0.05/0.35 ℓ (3.051/21.357 cu.in.). For KM3P1, it is 0.3/0.35 ℓ, and for KM3P3 and KM35P1, it is 0.45/0.5 ℓ.
What is the recommended service interval for replacing the lube oil filter element?
The lube oil filter element should be replaced every 300 hours of engine operation. It is also recommended to replace the filter prior to this if it is very dirty, deformed, or damaged.
What is the wear limit for the cylinder bore diameter?
The standard cylinder bore diameter is 82.00 ~ 82.03 mm (3.2283 ~ 3.2295 in.). The wear limit for the cylinder bore is 82.06 mm (3.2307 in.). If the measurement exceeds this limit, the cylinder block should be replaced.
