5.3 The AL-Fi System of Camshaft Setting Plates.
the Al-fi range of universal camshaft setting Plates provides
wide application coverage across engine ranges by utilising
common support Blocks - one for all Inlet camshafts, and one for
all Exhaust camshafts. Interchangeable setting Plates are mounted
onto these support Blocks.
the position of the setting Plates on the support Blocks is
adjustable in order to provide coverage of a range of engines.
the required setting Plate position on the support Block, is
accurately achieved, and maintained, via the 'location pin' which
is inserted through a numbered location hole in the support
Block and through a hole in the setting Plate. When mounted on
the engine, this assembly fixes the position of the camshaft lobe
to achieve correct camshaft timing position.
5.4
Selecting the correct Al-Fi parts and assembling the Camshaft
Setting Plate system for use.
5.4.1
The Inlet Camshaft Setting Plate Assembly.
select the
"INLET"
support Block (fig.4).
refer to the Data chart to establish which setting Plates are
required for the application.
Example:
Alfa romeo 145 2.0 16v ts (96-01) Engine code 323.01
= Plates "A" and "B" (fig.5).
fix the setting Plates to the "InLEt" support Block with the
securing screws (Do not tighten fully at this stage) (fig.6).
note: Plate "A" to the left and Plate "B" to the right, with the
"A" and "B" lettering visible.
refer to Data chart to establish which hole number location is
required for this application.
Example:
Alfa romeo 145 2.0 16v ts (96-01) Engine code 323.01
= Plate A location "6" and Plate B location "6" (fig.5).
select the Location Pins/chain Assembly and pass the pins
through the correct hole locations in the support Block and into
the setting Plates (fig.7).
retain the Location Pins in place by applying pressure to the
sides of the setting Plates whilst fully tighten the setting plate
securing screws using the allen key provided in the kit (fig.8).
5.4.2
The Exhaust Camshaft Setting Plate Assembly.
select the
"EXHAUST"
support Block (fig.9).
refer to Data chart to establish which setting Plates are
required for the application.
Example:
Alfa romeo 145 2.0 16v ts (96-01) Engine code 323.01
= Plates "c" and "D" (fig.5).
fix the setting Plates to the "EXHAust" support Block with the
securing screws (Do not tighten fully at this stage) (fig.10).
Note:
Plate "c" to the left and Plate "D" to the right, with the
"c" and "D" lettering visible.
refer to Data chart to establish which hole number location is
required for this application.
Example:
Alfa romeo 145 2.0 16v ts (96-01) Engine code 323.01
= Plate c location "3" and Plate D location "3" (fig.5).
select the Location Pins/chain Assembly and pass the pins
through the correct hole locations in the support Block and into
the setting Plates (fig.11).
retain the Location Pins in place by applying pressure to the
sides of the setting Plates whilst fully tighten the setting plate
securing screws using the allen key provided in the kit (fig.12).
