To Replace
Te-assemble in the reverse order, fitting new gaskets where
applicable.
Note: When refitting the distributor drive shaft, ensure the large "D"
of the driving gear offset dog is facing towards the block at No. 1
piston, i.e. slot in a "5 minutes past 7 o'clock" position. Take the
opportunity of checking the camshaft end-float which should be
within 0.64 to 0.16 mm (0.0025 to 0.0065 in). Pull the camshaft out
against the retaining plate and insert a feeler gauge between the
groove and retaining plate. The camshaft retaining plate fitted as
original equipment is 4.621 mm (0.182 in) thick. A service plate 5.258
mm (0.207 in) is available to counteract excessive end float but it may,
of course, be necessary to reduce the thickness of the service plate to
obtain the correct end float, dependent on the amount of wear.
