Crankshaft: Service and Repair




DISASSEMBLING AND ASSEMBLING CRANKSHAFT

Clamping Crankshaft




Bolt crankshaft on holder P 209 a with bolts, Part No.928 102 151 01. First remove 6 x 16 mm key with a pliers or drill a hole in the holder to take the key.


Mounting Drive Gear for Clockwise Turning Distributor




If the drive gear is only marked with the Porsche trademark, it must face the pulley when installed in correct position. If the drive gear is marked with an electrically inscribed "X", the Porsche trademark is not applicable and, in this case, the "X" mark faces the pulley.
If the drive gear is not positioned correctly, the basic timing will deviate by 13° on crankshaft.

Circlips are available in different thicknesses for adjustment of the distributor drive gear's axial play.

Available Circlips:

901.102.148.03 2.1 3




Mount timing gear, intermediate ring and drive gear for clockwise-turning distributor on crankshaft against stop. Select circlip of correct thickness by testing the fit. Circlip must be installed without play.
