INSTRUCTIONS FOR REASSEMBLY
For reassembly operations, reverse the sequence followed for disassembly, unless otherwise specified below.
Checking and adjusting valve clearance
- After refitting the camshaft measure the valve clearance as follows:
- Turn the camshaft to take the intake and exhaust valves to the closed position.
- Check that the clearance between the lowered radius of the cam and the corresponding tappet is within the specified limits.
| Valve operating clearance (with engine cold) | |
|---|---|
| Intake | 0.30 ± 0.05 mm |
| Exhaust | 0.35 ± 0.05 mm |
- If the clearance is not within the specified limits, proceed as follows:
- Using the pressure lever no. 1.820.262.000 lower the tappet.
- Position tool no. 1.820.261.000 directing the notches on the edge of the tappets to facilitate removal of the plate.
- Prise and remove the tappet adjustment plate.
- Replace the removed plate by another one of suitable thickness to restore the correct valve clearance.
Checking the crankshaft end float
- Using a dial gauge on a magnetic base, measure the crankshaft end float and check that it is within the specified limits.
