F50 ? DG identification & manual needed

Forum: 

Hi
I hope someone can help.

I have a series landrover with a Daihatsu forutrax ( or earlier 4x4 ) diesel engine .
I have been told previously that it is a F50 it says DG on the rocker cover and says valve cleaerances 0.25 mm and injection timing 7 degrees BTDC.
I need to tune this engine and need to get hold of an engine manual.

I have found it hard to get hold of new spare parts for the engine as the dealers insist that the only way they can identify parts is by the chasis number of the original vehicle, which I don’t have.
I guesss if I can find a vehicle with the same engine then I could use that vehicles chassis number for ordering parts.

Anyone know where I can get a workshop manual .
Or the procedure for adjusting the valve clearances and the injection timing Unknw

Regards
Paul

To tune. Tack off no 1

To tune.
Tack off no 1 injecter pipe. Turn engine over until no cylinder is a TDC. Replace no one injecter pipe, but leave untightened. Crack off nuts holding the injector pump to the engine block (3 I think). Get some one else to pump the hand primer (found down the side or the lift pump, possibly under a rubber cover, looks like a plastic tube. Unscrewes, then moves freely up and down inside another tube to pump). Turn the injecter pump from side to side (not eisy as solid injector lines have to bend). You want to find the point where fuel is comming out of the no one injecter line. Then back off until it just stops. Tighen everything back up. Job done.
