Assembling the timing belts

CAUTION: Turn the camshafts to a neutral position.

1. Assemble the cylinder heads with the seals interposed on the crankcase and tighten the fastening screws in two or three operations to the specified torque following the sequence indicated (from A to F).

91 ÷ 101 Nm
9.3 ÷ 10.3 kgm

Assembling the timing belts

1. Turn the camshafts of the left head so that the area between the two notches of the intake pulley coincides with the notch of the exhaust pulley. - Turn the crankshaft until the notch "T" on the flywheel is aligned with the fixed reference of the rear cover. 2. Fit the left timing belt. 3. Slacken the belt tensioner fastening nut so that it can exert the load impressed by the spring on the belt.

• Repeat the previous operations for assembly and timing of the right timing belt. - Turn the crankshaft a few times in its direction of rotation to allow the belts to take their final position.

1. Check engine timing.

• Turn the crankshaft 90° to obtain: the impression ● on the flywheel aligned with the fixed index or alignment of the notches ▲ on the pulleys. 1. Slacken the fastening nuts of the right belt tensioner to settle it then tighten them to the specified torque.

29 ÷ 36 Nm
3.0 ÷ 3.6 kgm

• Turn the crankshaft 360° to obtain: the impression ● on the flywheel aligned with the fixed index and alignment of the notches ▲ on the pulleys. 1. Slacken the fastening nuts of the left belt tensioner to settle it then tighten them to the specified torque.
