To fit
1 Fit the assembly of the compound idler to its shaft, ensure that the "V" timing mark on the crankshaft is
aligned with the marks on the large gear of the compound idler. Fit the thrust plate and fit new bolts. Tighten
the bolts to a torque of 28 +/- 7 Nm (21 +/- 5 lbf ft).
2 Fit the main idler gear to the shaft assembly. Fit the thrust plate and fit new bolts. Apply thread lock
compound, 21820 117, to the bolts and tighten to a torque of 28 +/- 7 Nm (21 +/- 5 lbf ft).
3 Fit the adjustable idler gear to the shaft assembly. Fit the thrust plate and fit new bolts. Apply thread lock
compound, 21820 117, to the bolts and tighten to a torque of 28 +/- 7 Nm (21 +/- 5 lbf ft).
4 Fit the camshaft gear, if it was removed: align the hole in the gear with the dowel pin on the adapter plate.
If the timing mark on the gear does not align with the pointer at the top of the gear case, remove the gear and
rotate the camshaft until the gear can be installed with the marks aligned. Ensure that the timing marks on the
crankshaft gear and compound idler are aligned.
5 Fit the bolts which retain the gear, remove the guide stud and fit the bolt which remains. Tighten the bolts to
a torque of 240 +/- 40 Nm (177 +/- 30 lbf ft).
