WARNING!
It is extremely important when assembling the camshaft gear
that great care is taken so that valve times are not wrong. This
can cause engine failure.
Set the marking (A) on the flywheel
directly over the centre of the hole (B).
Position the timing gear and position
the cam belt.
The triangular marking (A) on the gear
should point straight up.
NOTE!
It is very important that the cam belt and, with that even the crankshaft,
do not rotate during this procedure. If this occurs, the valve timing will be
wrong and the risk of engine failure will be high.
Fit the axle for the camshaft gear.
1. Turn the flywheel until the mark (A)
centres above the hole (B) so that
the piston is positioned correctly.
2. Move the cam belt to one side and
insert the camshaft gear. Pay
particular attention so that the
triangular marking (A) on the gear
points straight up.
3. Slide the axle for the camshaft gear
into position.
4. Check that the marking on the
flywheel and camshaft gear are
positioned correctly.
5. Check the valve clearance.
Assemble the remaining parts in the
reverse order as set out for dismantling.
