Refitting

Refitting

When refitting the engine mounting on the gearbox side, to avoid creating stresses on the gearbox sealing surfaces resulting in deformation and oil leaks, strictly observe the following tightening sequence of the attachment bolts:

• Lightly tighten bolts (1) and (2) to an initial torque of 0.5 daNm;
• Lightly tighten bolts (3) and (4) to an initial torque of 0.5 daNm, then tighten them to the specified torque;
• Tighten bolts (1) and (2) to the specified torque.

For the remaining refitting operations, reverse the procedure described for removal. To fit the clutch release bearing and bellhousing to the car, refer to the instructions for refitting the gearbox of the 1370 12V engine.

REMOVING-REFITTING DRIVE SHAFTS

To remove and refit the drive shafts, refer to the procedure described for the 1370 12V engine, with the difference that the drive shafts are secured to the gearbox-differential unit by retaining clips and the tripod joint is inserted directly in the differential.

DISMANTLING-REASSEMBLY

Refer to the dismantling of the drive shaft described for the 1581 16V engine. To fit the differential casing oil sealing bearing, refer to the figure opposite.

Position of damping weight on right drive shaft

In the case of interventions on the right drive shaft which involve removing the damping weight, the latter should be refitted at the distance specified in the figure.

a = 305-310 mm or alternatively 307-312 mm
