900 L4-1985cc 2.0L (1982)
Inspection Procedure:
1.
At each regular service, make an initial check of the crankshaft pulley. With the car on the lift, check the distance from the inner surface of the
pulley (see diagram A) to the surface of the oil pump cover. This may be accomplished by stacking feeler gauges together and measuring the stack
with a vernier caliper. A distance of 9 mm 0.35") or less indicates that separation has probably occurred and the technic an should prepare to
replace the crankshaft pulley (see step 2).
If clearance is more than 9 mm (0.35") the crankshaft pulley is O.K. and need not be examined further until the next service.
2.
If while replacing the pulley you wish to verify separation, use a straight edge and a feeler gauge to measure the distance between the crankshaft
pulley center section and the surface of the outermost pulley ring (AC drive sheave removed, if equipped). A distance of more than 2 mm indicates
that separation has occurred.
Replace the pulley using the guidelines given in Service Manual Section 2, page 216-3 to 216-5. Don't forget the allowance to torque reading when
using the special wrench (P/N 83-92-961).
