Timing Gears - Refit

Timing Gears - Refit

1. Clean gear locations on camshaft and crankshaft, fit Woodruff keys.





2. Check camshaft Woodruff key is fully engaged in keyway.

CAUTION:
Space between Woodruff key and keyway acts as an oil feed. It is therefore most important that key is properly seated and parallel to axis of camshaft. Overall dimension 'A' must not exceed 30.15 mm ( 1.2 in ).





3. Temporarily fit crankshaft gear, and if necessary turn crankshaft to bring timing mark on gear to the twelve o'clock position, remove gear without moving camshaft.
