The engine head modifications are necessary to be able to replace the original diesel injectors with the adequate spark plugs
01 Disassemble the original cylinder head
02 Measure the diameter of the original injector seat (D picture 01), in order to chose the type
of spark plug (the thread): if the original diameter is 9 mm or less, it is possible to use a
spark plug with the thread M10x1; if the diameter is bigger, until to 10,75 mm diameter, it
must be used a spark plug with the thread M12x1,25
03 Verify the length L (picture 01), in order to chose the type of spark plug (length of the
thread) Consider that when the spark plug is completely screwed in the seat, the only part
of it that must enter in the combustion chamber is the electrode, as shown in the picture 02

PHASE DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT: the workings that are following described ,must be coaxial with the original injectors seats; in case make an apposite tool to guarantee the coaxial
04 Verify that near the original injector seat there aren’t some oil or water conduits If there
are, check if machining the original seat to enlarge it (minimum 22 mm), in order to allow the passage of the spark plug wrench, the conduits aren’t broken The distance between the modified seat and the water or oil conduits must be not less than 4 mm If the distance is less than 4 mm is preferable use the adequate spark plug bushing (see the end of the
paragraph) See the picture 03 The water or oil conduits there could be in the position
shown by the arrows too
picture 03 – CONDUITS DISTANCE
05 After the choice of the type of the spark plug (thread diameter and thread length), enlarge
(if it is necessary) the hole indicated in the picture 04 Verify that the spark plug seat isn’t too near to the valves seats (see the picture 05)

plug wrench If near the lower diameter there are no water or oil conduits, enlarge the
diameter of the picture 06 (minimum Ø 22 mm) until to the lower diameter length is the
same of the spark plug thread
picture 06 – SPARK PLUG WRENCH SEAT
07 If near the lower diameter there are water or oil conduits, it is necessary create the seat for
the spark plug seal washer, in order to the seat is smaller possible Remember that for a
spark plug M10x1 it must be created a seat of 16 mm diameter, 4 mm depth; for a spark plug M12x1,25 it must be created a seat of 17 mm diameter

08 In relation to the type of SPARK PLUG chosen, execute the thread in the part of the spark
plug seat shown in the picture 08

09 If in the original diesel engine there are original pre – heater plugs, they must be
disconnected from the original electric system; sometimes could be present an original air inlet heater; in this case disconnet and disassemble it, to avoid a wrong functioning of the engine
SPARK PLUG BUSHING
It is necessary execute a spark plug bushing when:
• during the working of the spark plug seat it is possible brake original water or oil conduits; to know this, is very important have an original head drawing or cut a cylinder head;
• it is present an original diesel injector bushing
The spark plug bushing:
• must allows the insertion and the fixing of the adequate spark plug (see the previously
instructions for the choice of the spark plug);
• the external part of the spark plug bushing has to join itself with the original engine head, in
order to avoid oil or water leakages;
• must be fixed using the original holes situated on the original engine head

The main function of the piston modifications is to reduce the compression ratio of the engine
Calculate the compression ratio for the gas converted engine, considering that the ideal compression
ratio must be:
- for N.A CNG engines: 12 ÷ 13
- for turbocharged CNG engines: ~ 11,5
- for N.A GPL engines: 9,5 ÷ 10
- for turbocharged GPL engines: 8,5 ÷ 9
The necessary data for the execution of the calculations of the new compression ratio are:
- original compression ratio of the engine
- displacement
- number of cylinders
- type of intake of air (turbo engine or N.A engine)
- original dimensions of the original piston (with an original drawing)
- verify that the disposition of possible oil conduits in the original piston allows the necessary workings (if it is possible, dissect an original piston)
COMPRESSION RATIO CALCULATION
01 Calculate the UNITARY DISPLACEMENT (U):
U= TOTAL DISPLACEMENT / NUMBER OF CYLINDERS
02 Calculate the VOLUME OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER when the piston is at the TDC (V2):
V2=UNITARY DISPLACEMENT /(ORIGINAL COMPRESSION RATIO –1)
03 Measure the volume of the original diesel bowl (Vbowl) filling it up with the water Measure
the quantity of water that enters in the original diesel bowl

Trang 1502.02 P ISTON Page 2 of 7
PHASE DESCRIPTION
04 Subtract the volume of the ORIGINAL BOWL (Vbowl) to the VOLUME OF THE COMBUSTION
CHAMBER (V2), to find the volume included between the piston head and the engine head
when the piston is at the TDC:
Vt = V2 – Vbowl
picture 02 – VOLUME INCLUDED BETWEEN THE PISTON HEAD AND THE ENGINE HEAD
05 Take away 0,5 mm from the top of the piston and measure the new volume Vt:
Vt new = originalVt + (π * D2) / 4 * 0,5

ACCEPTABLE, MODIFY THE VALUES OF D AND H (SEE THE PICTURE 06) IN

In some engine there could be pipes for oil recovery connected with the original inlet manifold
These pipes must be positioned BEFORE (in relation to the flow of the air) the THROTTLE VALVE and the MIXER, in order to not modify the carburetion
Sometime there could be conduits of air compressor These conduits MUST BE connected to the
inlet manifold BEFORE (in relation to the flow of the air) the MIXER, in order to the mixture of gas

The valves gap must be modified in order to avoid that the mixture of gas and air unburned flows directly in the exhaust manifolds during the scavenging phase of the original diesel engine
This modification is necessary in order to:
• reduce the consumption;
• reduce the pollution;
• avoid exhaust backfires
In general in a CNG or LPG converted engine an optimal value of overlapping is included between 10° and 20°
The new maximum valves gap permitted for the CNG or LPG converted engine is 1 mm
ATTENTION ! THE NEW VALVES GAP MODIFIED AS PER INSTRUCTIONS PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN MAKES ENGINE MORE NOISY THAN THAT ORIGINAL DIESEL BUT IT NOT CREATES PROBLEMS OR DAMAGES.
To modify the valves gap is necessary a graded disk and place a needle reference (see the pictures 01 and 02)

Before the choice of the type of TOOTHED WHEEL (there are three types of TOOTHED WHEEL: 36 teeth,
48 teeth and 60 teeth), choose the position where it has to be assembled Usually the TOOTHED WHEEL can be assembled:
¾ where there was the original diesel pump, before its disassembling;
¾ on an apposite support connected to the camshaft;
¾ on an apposite support connected to the crankshaft
The position of the TOOTHED WHEEL has to be chosen in order to it is easy reachable for do all the
necessary settings, so the better position is in the original position of the original diesel pump

After the choice of the type of TOOTHED WHEEL, create an adequate support for it, or modify an
original diesel pump flange in order to fix the chosen TOOTHED WHEEL
