cylinder. Check for corrosion on the steel engine block and clean
away any corrosion that may prevent the Setting Pin from being
fitted.

This tool is fitted to the inlet and exhaust camshaft in turn.
The outside faces of the tool must make contact on the cylinder
head, as shown by the arrows, after being fitted over the flats on
the camshaft. If the correct fitting and contact cannot be
achieved, adjustment to the timing is required.

A
Crankshaft TDC Setting Pin
This tool fits all engines and is inserted through the flywheel casing and into the timing position hole in the flywheel after the crankshaft has been turned to TDC (Top Dead Centre) on No.1 cylinder. Note. Check for corrosion on the steel engine block, normally found on the straight 4 cylinder engine as this may prevent the Setting Pin from being fitted, clean away the corrosion.

Instructions
Clamp C –
Camshaft Locking Plate
C
These tools are used when timing
adjustment is necessary. The
camshafts are turned to the correct
timing position after the Sprocket
retaining fasteners have been loosened.
The camshaft is held using an openended spanner on the hexagon. The sprockets should be free to rotate but not too loose to tilt.
The camshaft Locking Plate Clamp is fitted first, using the mounting screws provided.
The Clamp Plate is then fitted over the camshaft and the camshaft position adjusted until all the contact points register. This position is then held by attaching the top latch of the clamp over the locking plate and securing. Additionally hold the camshaft position with and open-ended spanner whilst the sprocket is retightened.
Tensioner Retaining Pins
(2)
Before the removal of the camshafts, sprockets and timing chain the Tensioner is compressed by turning the exhaust camshaft slowly in an anti-clockwise direction using an open-ended spanner, it is necessary to retain the tensioner by using the Retaining Pins. Both pins are used if the Tensioner has to be removed.
It is recommended the tensioner
be retained with the Pins prior to
D
removal, as considerable force is
required to compress it.

Safety Warnings – please read
· If the engine has been identified as an Interference engine, damage to the engine will occur if the timing belt has been damaged. A compression check of all the cylinders should be taken before the cylinder head (s) are removed.
· Do not turn crankshaft or camshaft when the timing belt/chain has been removed.
· To make turning the engine easier, remove the spark plugs/glow plugs or injectors.
· Observe all tightening torques.
· Do not turn the engine using the camshaft or any other sprocket.
· Disconnect the battery earth lead (check Radio code is available).
· Do not use cleaning fluids on belts, sprockets or rollers.
· Some toothed timing belts are not interchangeable. Check the replacement belt has the correct tooth profile.
· Always mark the belt with the direction of running before removal.
· Do not lever or force the belt onto its sprockets.
· Do not use timing pins to lock the engine when slackening or tightening the crankshaft pulley bolts.
· ALWAYS REFER TO A REPUTABLE MANUFACTURERS WORKSHOP MANUAL.
