Inspecting the timing system components

- Check that the guide slider and the tensioner
slider are not worn out.
- Ensure that the camshaft control pulley chain as-
sembly and the sprocket wheel are not worn.
- If you detect wear, replace the parts or, if the
chain, sprocket wheel and pulley are worn, replace
the whole unit.
- Remove the centre screw with the washer and
the tensioner spring. Check that the one-way
mechanism is not worn.
- Check the condition of the tensioner spring.
- If examples of wear are found, replace the whole
unit.

Inspecting the valve sealings

- Insert the valves into the cylinder head.
- Alternatively check the intake and exhaust
valves.
- The test is carried out by filling the manifold with
petrol and checking that the head does not ooze
through the valves when these are just pressed
with the fingers.
