1. Remove both sealing plugs shown in the figure from the cylinder head extension.
2. Position the pair of tools 1860992000 in the spark plug seats on cylinders 1 and 2. Hand tighten parts (1) and ensure torque does exceed 0.5 daNm.
3. Tighten camshaft timing adjustment tools 1860985000 in place of the plugs removed previously.
4. Turn the crankshaft in its normal direction of rotation. Proceed gradually to ensure the pin of tools 1860992000 is not expelled by piston compression. Turn the shaft until notch (1) on the mobile part of the tool is aligned with surface (2) on the fixed part in the spark plug seat. When both tools fitted in the spark plug seats are in this position, the engine pistons will be aligned, i.e. half way along their effective stroke.
