Checking the engine timing
Notes
Engine timing should be checked after changing parts such as camshafts, valves or timing belt rollers or when overhauling
badly worn engines.
Remove the spark plugs and install the tool (E) 88765.1297 in the spark plug bore to determine the piston's TDC, along
with gauges (C) 88765.1581 and the timing check tool with timing degree wheel (G) 88713.0123 ).
Reset the opening valve clearance when the camshaft is in rest position by inserting a feeler gauge between the opening
rocker arm and the opening shim.
Check that in this condition the camshaft can rotate. If it moves stiffly, use a thinner feeler gauge.
In this condition, with the piston of the horizontal cylinder is at TDC and the valves fully closed as confirmed by the reading
on gauge (E), set gauges (C) to zero.
Adjust the timing belt tension as described in Sect. N 4.2 Refitting the timing belt tensioner pulleys).
