CHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Refitting (continued).
Peg the camshaft hubs, starting with LH exhaust (17) then (18), (19) and (20), using tool
[1], proceeding in the following way:
- The peg goes in: slacken by 45° the fixing screws of the pinion on the camshaft hub,
- The peg does not go in: slacken by 45° the fixing screws of the pinion on the camshaft
hub until the peg will go in.
ESSENTIAL : Check that the camshaft pinions are not at end of slots (by removing
a screw).
If they are, repeat the operation to refit the belt.
