Yanmar 6EY26W Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar 6EY26W cranks normally but refuses to start during cold weather operation.
Check the fuel delivery system and verify fuel oil viscosity is 2 to 11 mm²/s at 40 °C as specified on page 291. Inspect the strainer element and replace if flattened down to about 1 mm. Purge any trapped air from the injection lines before attempting another start.
Manual Section: Engine Starting Failure (Mechanical/Fuel) p. 291Engine temperature climbs rapidly under heavy load and fluctuates during steady cruising.
Inspect the raw-water intake and cooling passages for blockages. Remove the water pump cover and verify the impeller condition. When replacing the impeller, torque the impeller nut to exactly 118 +10/-0 N-m as detailed on page 332. Test the cooling fresh water pH to ensure it reads 6.3 ~ 8.0.
Manual Section: High Cooling Water Temperature p. 332Heavy vibration accompanied by characteristic fuel knock and unburnt white exhaust smoke.
Remove the fuel injectors to test spray patterns and verify the fuel injector pressure reaches 40.0±0.5 MPa. When reinstalling, tighten the fuel injection pump nozzle bolts to 10 ~ 12 N•m as shown on page 141. Apply 30 ~ 40 N・m clamping torque to the nozzle lock nut.
Manual Section: Engine Knocking/Unusual Sounds p. 141Progressive power loss and visible water leaking around the main exhaust elbow flange.
Inspect the exhaust elbow for severe corrosion or internal failure. Prepare appropriate lifting gear before removal, as the mass of the exhaust-gas elbow is 47 kg according to page 133. Verify the cylinder head tightening nut specific hydraulic pressure is 58.0±0.5 MPa to ensure proper sealing.
Manual Section: Exhaust Gas Elbow Removal p. 133Frequently Asked Questions
What are the replacement specifications for the raw-water impeller?
When overhauling the sea water pump, replace the mechanical seal 8 and oil seal 12. The impeller nut should be tightened to a torque of 118 +10 N-m. Ensure to not reverse the direction of the parts when installing them. p. 440
What is the specified tightening torque for the cylinder head nuts?
The cylinder head tightening nuts (M48 x 3.0) should be tightened to a specific hydraulic pressure of 58.0 ± 0.5 MPa. The procedure involves using a hydraulic jack, and the pressure should not exceed 58.5 MPa during the process. p. 20
What are the specified valve clearances for the intake and exhaust valves?
The specified valve clearances are 0.4 mm for the intake valves and 0.7 mm for the exhaust valves. These clearances are adjusted using a feeler gauge during the adjustment procedure for the intake/exhaust valve head clearance. p. 273
What is the lubricating oil tank capacity?
The lubricating oil tank has a holding volume of at least 2600 liters. This capacity is important for ensuring adequate lubrication for the engine's operation. p. 18
