Description

Volvo Penta TAD and TWD 16-Litre Engine Workshop Manual – Groups 20-26

This is the Volvo Penta workshop manual for the 16.12-litre, six-cylinder TAD and TWD industrial diesel engine family. It is the volume that carries Group 20 (engine information and troubleshooting), Group 21 (engine complete), Group 22 (lubricating and oil system), Group 23 (fuel system), Group 25 (inlet and exhaust system) and Group 26 (cooling system), with the Group 32 alternator and Group 33 starter motor sections closing the book. Supporting material for general information, engine specifications, electrical specifications, safety instructions and special service tools is included at the front.

Written for the workshop environment, the procedures assume the engine is mounted in a holding fixture and that Volvo Penta special tools are being used. Where a job can be done on site instead, that is stated. The manual is built around measured values, staged torque sequences and illustrated tightening orders rather than general advice, so it suits a technician who needs the exact figure and the exact sequence before turning a wrench.

Altogether, the volume takes a 16-litre Volvo Penta TAD or TWD engine from the point of exposure in the chassis through complete teardown and rebuild. The specification chapter and the procedure chapters work together: the dimensions, clearances, wear limits and tightening torques in Group 03 are the values you measure against while carrying out the Group 21 to Group 26 operations, and the staged tightening diagrams tell you the order and the angle steps that a rebuild depends on.

The specification tables and procedure headings in this Volvo Penta workshop manual name the following engine designations:

• TAD1640GE, TAD1641GE, TAD1642GE
• TAD1641VE, TAD1642VE, TAD1643VE, TAD1640VE-B, TAD1641VE-B, TAD1642VE-B, TAD1643VE-B
• TAD1650VE, TAD1650VE-B, TAD1651VE, TAD1650GE, TAD1651GE
• TAD1660VE, TAD1661VE, TAD1662VE, TAD1670VE, TAD1671VE, TAD1672VE
• TWD1643GE, TWD1652GE, TWD1653GE, TWD1663GE, TWD1672GE, TWD1673GE

All share the same 144 mm bore and 165 mm stroke, giving 16.12 litres from six cylinders, with a 1-5-3-6-2-4 firing order. Because the manual is written around the engine rather than around one machine, the same teardown, adjustment and reassembly procedures apply across the range, with model-specific differences noted where they exist – for example the different thermostat opening temperatures between the TAD engines and the later TWD engines, or the low pressure and high pressure turbocharger variants.

What You Can Do With This Manual

Rebuilding a 16-litre industrial diesel is not a job where approximate values survive. Main bearing cap torque, big end bearing cap torque, flywheel bolt torque, rocker arm shaft bolt stages, unit injector fixing yoke torque, turbo-to-exhaust-manifold nut sequence, oil pan bolt sequence, valve cover bolt sequence, front cover sealing – every one of these is given here with the sequence number called out on an illustration and the stage-by-stage figures printed alongside.

Beyond torque data, the manual supports the jobs that decide whether an engine comes back together correctly: checking camshaft wear and end float, measuring bearing clearance and ovality, checking connecting rod bushings, replacing the copper sleeve in the cylinder head for the unit injectors, pressure testing the cylinder head and the oil cooler, testing the cooling system, checking and adjusting the wastegate, and verifying camshaft timing against the flywheel position. The emission after-treatment section covers the AdBlue/DEF side of the later engines, from tank and pump unit work through to the fluid concentration checks that determine whether a dosing fault is a fluid problem or a component problem.

Having the correct staged torque sequences and wear limits is what separates a repair that lasts from one that comes back. The angle-tightening stages in particular cannot be guessed, and the tightening order on components like the rocker arm shaft exists specifically to prevent bending during assembly.
