Preliminary work
Preliminary work
Information:
To remove the play from the timing chain for the setting process, the crankshaft must be positioned at least 45° in front of the TDC of cylinder 1
before turning!
Information:
If the cams on cylinder 1 are not positioned as shown, check whether the crankshaft needs to be turned through another turn (360°)!
1. Remove camshaft housing cover on both cylinder banks.
Caution:
Damage to engine by turning crankshaft against the rotation direction of the engine (engine assembled)!
-
Never rotate crankshaft against the operating direction if the timing drive mechanism is mounted (timing chain jumps over).
-
Proceed carefully while working as otherwise the engine can be damaged.
-
Always turn the engine on the crankshaft and never on the camshaft as the timing chain may jump over.
-
After working on the camshaft wheels, the timing must be set.
