INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

It is essential to degrease the end of the crankshaft, the bore of the crankshaft sprocket and the bear-
ing faces of the drive belt pulley to prevent any slip between the timing and the crankshaft which
would risk destroying the engine. 

1.

Install timing belt tensioner.
NOTE:
Put the timing belt tensioner spigot (1) in the cylinder head
groove.

2.

Insert TDC set pin [SST: KV113B0110 (Mot. 1430)] (A) in the
camshaft pulley and cylinder head holes.

3.

Check that high pressure supply pump sprocket mark (2) has
shifted one tooth to the right of vertical axle.

4.

Turn crankshaft to set TDC set pin [SST: KV113B0130 (Mot.
1489)] (the crankshaft groove (1) must be facing upwards).
