Insert the hub as shown in Fig. J.2 so that the
holes in the hub and the cylinder block are in
alignment and secure with the two setscrews.
NOTE: Clearance is provided in the setscrew holes
of the idler gear hub, to provide the necessary
backlash adjustment for the timing gears.
Backlash should be set at the tightest point.
3.
Using the adjustable idler gear, backlash between
both
crankshaft
gear/idler
gear
and
camshaft
gear/idler gear should be set within the range
given on Page B.9 with the gears held together
in order to take up the effect of bearing clear·
ance. Blacklash may be checked by the use of
feeler gauges as shown in Fig.
