Yanmar 3TN100E, 4TN100E, 4TN100TE Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar TN 100 series engine won't start in cold weather and produces excessive white smoke
Remove the fuel injectors and test the nozzle opening pressure. Verify the pressure reaches 200 - 210 kg/cm² as specified on page 87. If pressure falls below this limit, clean or replace the nozzle assembly. Reinstall and torque the retainer nut to 0.4 - 0.5 kg-m.
Manual Section: Fuel Injection Equipment p. 87Rapidly rising coolant temperature under load with coolant leaking around the front timing cover
Inspect the cooling water pump for internal wear. Drain the coolant and remove the pump housing. Measure the water pump impeller to body clearance to ensure it measures exactly 0.3 - 0.7 mm as detailed on page 117. Replace the impeller if the clearance exceeds standard limits.
Manual Section: Cooling System p. 117Rough idling, poor combustion, and noticeable ticking noise coming from the cylinder head
Adjust the intake and exhaust valve lash. Remove the valve cover and rotate the engine to top dead center. Set the valve clearance to 0.27 - 0.33 mm (0.0106 - 0.0130 in) using a feeler gauge as instructed on page 32. Recheck clearances after tightening the adjustment locknuts.
Manual Section: Basic Engine p. 32Sudden loss of power and abnormal engine knocking noise during heavy industrial operation
Check the fuel injection pump timing and drive gear security. Remove the front timing cover and inspect the gear assembly. Torque the fuel injection pump driving gear nut to 11.5 - 12.5 kg-m as specified on page 174. Retime the injection pump if the gear slipped.
Manual Section: Disassembly and Reassembly p. 174Frequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specs for the cylinder head?
The cylinder head bolts should be tightened in three steps: first to 5 kgf·m (36.17 ft·lb), then to 10 kgf·m (72.35 ft·lb), and finally to 15 kgf·m (108.52 ft·lb). p. 31
