Hino Truck Super F Series GH1H Workshop Manual download

- Safety and preparation
- Wear eye protection and gloves; use work boots and keep long hair/jewelry secured.
- Work on a level surface, engine cold, parking brake on, wheels chocked.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent accidental cranking.
- Have an OEM workshop manual or factory torque/spec sheet for the GH1H available (critical for bolt torques, timing marks and any model-specific steps).

- Basic tools you should already have (description and how to use)
- Combination wrench set (metric): open-end and box-end wrenches in various sizes for loosening/tightening nuts in tight spots. Use the box end for final torqueing and the open end to hold or break loose fasteners.
- Socket set (metric) with 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" drives and extensions: for removing bolts quickly and reaching recessed fasteners. Use appropriate-length extension to avoid rounding heads; use deep sockets for long studs.
- Ratchet handles and breaker bar: ratchet for normal removal, breaker bar for high-torque bolts (e.g., crank pulley) to avoid damaging ratchet.
- Torque wrench (click-type, appropriate range): to tighten bolts to specified torque values. Set the wrench to the specified value, tighten smoothly until it clicks.
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips): for clamps, covers and prying small clips. Use correctly sized tip to avoid stripping.
- Pliers (slip-joint, needle-nose): for hose clamps, cotter pins, and holding small components.
- Hammer and soft-faced mallet: gentle persuasion to free stuck parts; use soft-faced mallet on aluminum parts to avoid damage.
- Drain pan: catch coolant or oil when draining the engine front area.
- Gasket scraper / putty knife: remove old gasket material from mating surfaces; use lightly to avoid scoring.
- Wire brush / cleaning rags: clean surfaces before reassembly.
- Funnel and coolant: for refilling cooling system after work.

- Extra/ specialty tools likely required and why (detailed descriptions and how to use)
- Harmonic balancer / crank pulley puller
- Description: a puller kit that threads into the crank pulley and pulls it off the crankshaft taper.
- Why required: crank pulley/harmonic balancer is almost always interference to the timing cover on diesel Hino engines; you must remove it to access the timing cover.
- How to use: thread appropriate puller bolts into the pulley’s threaded holes, place center forcing bolt against crank snout and turn to pull the pulley evenly. Do not pry on the crank—use correct puller to avoid damaging crank nose or keyway.
- Crankshaft locking/holding tool or timing pin kit
- Description: pins or bars that lock the crank and cam(s) at TDC or specified positions.
- Why required: prevents cam/crank from moving while removing/ reinstalling timing components; avoids incorrect timing and catastrophic engine damage.
- How to use: align timing marks shown in manual, insert pins into specified holes/slots to lock position before removing tensioner or chain/belt.
- Camshaft holding tool or cam sprocket tool (if specified)
- Description: holds cam sprockets steady during loosening/tightening.
- Why required: to prevent rotation and maintain timing alignment.
- Impact wrench (optional, helpful)
- Description: air or battery-powered tool to remove stubborn bolts quickly.
- Why useful: saves effort on corroded/hard bolts like pulley or fan bolts. Use with care to avoid overtightening when reinstalling; always finish with torque wrench.
- Engine support bar or hoist (if engine mounts must be loosened)
- Description: crossbar or hoist to support engine weight if motor mount bolts are removed.
- Why required: some front covers require slight engine movement to access bolts; supports engine safely.
- How to use: support engine per instructions, adjust slowly and secure before removing mounts.
- Seal puller / lip seal tool
- Description: tool to remove crankshaft and camshaft oil seals without damaging housing.
- Why required: front crank seal and cam seals are often better replaced; a proper puller prevents housing damage.
- How to use: hook behind seal lip and lever out; use with care.
- Feeler gauge / tension gauge (for belt systems)
- Description: measures deflection or tension on timing belts/tensioners when specified.
- Why required: ensures correct tension to avoid belt slip or premature wear.

- Parts you will likely need to replace (what and why)
- Timing belt or timing chain kit (belt, tensioner, idlers, guides)
- Why: belts age and can snap; chains stretch and tensioners wear. When timing cover is off it’s best practice to replace these components if age/mileage indicates.
- Timing cover gasket or RTV sealant
- Why: the cover seal deteriorates and causes coolant/oil leaks; new gasket or fresh RTV ensures leak-free reassembly.
- Front crankshaft oil seal
- Why: frequently leaks and is easily replaced with the timing cover removed; replacement prevents oil leak into timing area.
- Camshaft oil seal(s)
- Why: same as crank seal—replace if weeping or while accessible.
- Water pump (if driven by timing belt) or accessory pump seals
- Why: accessible during timing-service and often replaced as preventative maintenance (reduces rework).
- Bolts/studs and washers (replacement hardware)
- Why: some cover bolts, studs or aged hardware may be corroded or stretched; OEM often specifies replacement for certain fasteners.
- Fan clutch or fan hub (if faulty)
- Why: heavy vibration or seized fan can make removal difficult and indicates replacement.
- RTV/automotive silicone and threadlocker
- Why: for sealant where the manual requires and to secure certain bolts.

- Step-by-step procedure (high-level, safety-focused, for a beginner)
- Prepare workspace: battery negative disconnected, drain coolant into pan if cover area requires coolant removal, remove any belts that block access.
- Remove obstructions: remove fan shroud, fan and fan clutch/hub (fan sometimes threaded), alternator bracket or air conditioning compressor relocation if they obstruct cover access—support components so hoses/wires aren’t strained.
- Mark and photograph: take clear photos of belt routing, timing mark locations and connector/hoses layout before removal. Mark position of crank pulley relative to crank if needed.
- Lock timing: rotate engine to specified alignment (TDC) using crank socket, then install crank and cam locking pins per manual to prevent movement.
- Remove crank pulley/harmonic balancer: use the harmonic balancer puller; keep keyway alignment noted for reinstallation.
- Remove bolts securing timing cover: keep bolts organized by location; gently pry cover free after all fasteners removed—be careful of gasket surfaces.
- Inspect internal components: check timing belt/chain condition, tensioner, guides, sprockets for wear, and check oil leaks from front seals and any coolant leaks.
- Replace parts as required: replace belt/chain, tensioner, idlers, seals, water pump and timing cover gasket as needed. Use proper seal-install tool or gently tap new oil seal squarely into place.
- Clean mating surfaces thoroughly: remove old gasket and debris, dry and use a light film of oil where specified; apply RTV only where manual directs.
- Reassemble in reverse order: reinstall timing cover with new gasket/RTV, reinstall crank pulley (align key), torque pulleys and bolts to factory specs using torque wrench; reinstall fan, belts and accessories.
- Re-tension and verify timing: confirm timing marks still align after reassembly; set belt/chain tension per spec or tensioner procedure.
- Refill coolant and reconnect battery: bleed cooling system as required, check for leaks.
- Final checks: start engine and listen for abnormal noises, check for oil/coolant leaks, verify temperature normal and engine runs smoothly. Re-torque bolts after short run if recommended by manual.

- Beginner tips and common pitfalls
- Always refer to the OEM workshop manual for exact torque values, timing mark positions and any special procedures—these are engine-specific and critical.
- Do not re-use rubber seals and gaskets unless specified suitable—old seals will leak.
- Never rotate the engine with timing components removed unless instructed; if the cam/crank are moved, you must re-time precisely before turning the engine.
- Keep bolts and small parts organized and label them; use photos to help reassembly.
- If you are not 100% comfortable with locking timing and reassembly, have a competent mechanic verify your work—incorrect timing on a diesel can cause severe engine damage.

- When to seek professional help
- If you lack the special tools listed (crank puller, locking pins) or if the crank/harmonic balancer is corroded and won’t come off safely.
- If the engine requires internal timing work beyond the cover (cam removal, re-timing) and you have no experience.
- If you find damaged gears, a stretched chain beyond service limits, or metal debris—these require experienced diagnosis and repair.

- Quick checklist of items to buy before starting
- Timing kit (belt/chain, tensioner, idlers) if mileage/age high or condition suspect
- Front crank seal and cam seals
- Timing cover gasket or proper RTV
- Harmonic balancer puller (rent if only one-time job)
- Crank/cam locking pins or timing pin kit specific to Hino engine (rent or buy)
- Torque wrench and appropriate sockets
- Coolant to refill and new threadlocker if specified

- Final note
- Follow the manual for exact steps and torque values. Carefully using the listed tools and replacing worn parts will prevent leaks and catastrophic timing failures.
