‹› Turn the crankshaft only in the direction of engine rotation - arrow -. Do not rotate the crankshaft back, not even slightly!
‹› The crankshaft must not be rotated past the Top Dead Center (TDC) mark. This means the bore - 2 - in the crankshaft must not rest above the
threaded opening.
If the crankshaft was rotated past the TDC marking:
-
Rotate the crankshaft back 45° in the opposite direction of engine rotation.
-
Then rotate the crankshaft again into the TDC position in the direction of engine rotation.
When the crankshaft is positioned slightly in front of the TDC position (hole in crankshaft is 90% visible), the (T40069) can be installed,
although slightly more difficult.
