Design and function
Timing gear
The timing gear consists of cylindrical gear wheels
with spiral cut teeth.
The injection pump and camshaft are driven from the
crankshaft gear via an idler gear. The engine oil pump
is also driven from the crankshaft gear via an idler
gear.
In addition to the camshaft, the camshaft gear also
drives the gear for the sea water pump (the sea water
pump on the TAMD63 is driven by a Poly-Vee belt).
If a servo pump is fitted (extra equipment), this is also
driven from the camshaft gear.
Three different surface treatments have been used on
the gear wheels; case hardening, hardening & temper-
ing and nitrocarburising. Please refer to the instruc-
tions about nitrocarburised gears on page 61 before
replacing any gear wheels.

Big and small end bearings
The big and small end bearings consist of indium plat-
ed, lead bronze lined steel shells. The bearings are
precision made and are entirely ready for installation.
Five under-dimensions can be obtained as spare
parts. The thrust washers for axial location of the
crankshaft are available in three overdimensions.
Crankshaft
The crankshaft is supported on seven main bearings.
The thrust bearings consist of thrust washers on the
centre main bearing. The crankshaft is statically and
dynamically balanced. At the front, the crankshaft has
a so-called polygon profile, and the rear there is a
flange to which the flywheel is screwed.
The crankshaft is nitrocarburised. On condition that
the shaft does not need to be re-aligned, it can be
ground down to the 2nd underdimension before it
needs to be nitrocarburised again.
