We are doing the imfamous rear timing case oil leak in a 60 which involves removing the timing gear... We have a prob in that previous to dissambly the timing marks of all cogs will not line up as per the FSM assembly, we've cranked it 30 times so far.
So we are thinking of just pushing forward but if we get it wrong - Of the HJ60 2H, are they a interference motor - ie, get the timing wrong & youll smash pistons, vavles, rod & lifters? - huge thanks for any help...

All diesels have almost no piston to head clearance, ie, they are high compression 16:1 12HT and around 22:1 2h.
Get it wrong and it will destroy something or many things.
The timing gears are clearly marked and should be easily placed in the correct timing positions especially if you have a Factory manual. In
mine, it shows a schematic diagram of all related rotation components.
If you have already rotated the engine multiple times it must be in synch otherwise it would be caressing other essential items. You can of course have the pump timing way out and not in synch as it only works in concert with the engine as
well as synched for correct operation.
Any crashing usually results in bent valves and guides, broken rocker gear.
Always MANUALLY turn ANY 4 stroke engine 2 complete turns to ensure there is no collisions before ever cranking it. Failure to do that often results in wet handkerchiefs.

yep, agree with all above.
I just wish the assembly timing marks would cycle around. That they are not means the is an odd sized cog in the timing train, perhaps the cam cog, cause it's an aftermarket turbo on it. There is other evidence of high-end tuning like massive exhaust & quality fitments.
An odd sized cog it may be, however if the pump has been advanced one tooth to overcomve timer wear and/or tweak this aftermarket turbo 2H it wont reassemble correct. I will be looking at a myriad of reason as to why it is running rough.
So far my best solution is to set is as per fsm, TDC on right stroke, mark the five cogs and reassemble in that order...That seems to make more sense than twisting the IP, crank and cams around to factory, it left the factory a long time ago...
