OVERHAUL  AND FITJING FLYWHEEL 
Inspection 
Normal  wear and  scores on the  flywheel  clutch face 
can  be repaired  by machining  provided  that the 
overall  width 
of the flywheel is not reduced  below 
36,96 mm (1.453 in) therefore  check that  the 
flywheel  has not  been  previously  machined  before 
proceding  further. The ring  gear  may 
be renewed if 
the teeth  are chipped or damage. 
Reface  the flywheel 
1. Remove  the clutch  cover locating  dowels. 
Machine  the flywheel 
over the entire  clutch 
face  removing  only the minimum 
of material 
necessary  to achieve  a smooth  surface parallel 
with  the crankshaft  mating face within  the 
dimensions  given above. 
Renew  Ring gear 
WARNING:  Wear industrial 
goggles to 
protect  the eyes 
from flying  fragments. 
2. To renew  the ring  gear,  drill a 8 mm hole 
between  the root 
of any two teeth  and the 
inner  diameter 
of the ring  gear  deep  enough 
to  weaken  the gear.  Take care not 
to allow  the 
drill to enter  the flywheel.

3. Secure the flywheel  in a soft jawed  vice and 
cover it with  a  cloth to avoid  personal  injury. 
Place  a 
cold chisel  above  the drilled  hole and 
strike  it sharply 
to split  the ring  gear. 
4. Heat  the new  ring uniformally  to between 
225°C and  250°C but 
do not exceed  the 
higher  figure. 
5.  Place  the flywheel,  clutch face  down, on a flat 
surface  and  press  the starter  ring firmly  against 
the  flange  until the ring  contracts  sufficiently  to 
grip  the flywheel.  Allow the ring 
to cool 
naturally. Do not  hasten  cooling  in anyway 
otherwise  distortion may occur.

Fitting  camshaft 
Inspection  1.  Mount  the camshaft  on 
v blocks on a 
surface  plate for convenience  and examine  the 
cams 
for wear,  scores,  pitting and  chipped 
edges. 
2. Examine  the journals for obvious wear  and 
scores and  signs 
of overheating,  in particular, 
check  the thrust  plate. 
If the journals are visibly 
sewiceable, check  with a dial  gauge  or 
micrometer for  overall wear, ovality,  taper and 
runout. 
CAUTION: If the skew  gear is worn  and 
requires  renewal,  the camshaft  must also be 
renewed  even though  the camshaft  gear 
may  appear  satisfactory.  Once the 
two gears 
have  run together  they become  a matched 
pair. 
3. Lubricate  the camshaft  bearings  and journals 
with  clean  engine 
oil and carefully  insert the 
camshaft  into the cylinder  block. Fit the  thrust 
plate  and secure  with the 
two bolts and 
tighten  to the  correct  torque.  Fitting 
camfollowers 
1. Examine  all the  components for wear  and 
damage  particularly  the 
rollers and  pushrod 
seating  in the  slides  and ensure  that the tappet 
slides  move freely in the  guides. 
If the same 
parts  are being  refitted,  ensure that  they  are 
returned  to their  original  positions. 
Note:  The tappet  retaining  screws have a micro 
encapsulated  locking compound  applied to the 
threads  to ensure  that they 
do not become  loose. 
Once  the screw  has been  used the locking  ability 
is lost.

4. To check the camshaft  end-float,  temporarily  fit 
the  camshaft  gear and  mount  a dial  test 
indicator 
so that  the stylus  rests in a loaded 
condition  upon the machined  face 
of the gear. 
5. Zero  the dial  and  move the camshaft  back and 
forward  and note the  reading. The end
-float 
should  be within 
0,06 to 0,13 mm (0.0025) to 
0.0055 in) If necessary  fit another  thrust  plate 
to  achieve  the correct  end float.

2. Insert the tappet  guides  into the cylinder 
block,  retaining  each with a new  screw  which 
should 
be screwed  in sufficiently to allow  the 
rollers  and slides  to be  installed.  Ensure  the 
rollers  are fitted  in accordance  with any marks 
made  during  removal.  New rollers,  however, 
may 
be fitted  either  way around. 
3. Before  fitting the tappet  slides make sure the 
oilways  are clear  to the  running  surface 
of the 
roller  and the pushrod  seating. insert the the 
tappet 
slides with  the word FRONT or F to 
the  front 
of the engine.

secure  with a new  screw 
to the correct  torque. 
Do not over  tighten  as this  may  damage the 
bush. 
Overhaul  and fitting  skew gear 
1. Remove  the circlips  retaining  the skew  gear 
shaft  to the  bearing  and the bearing  in the 
housing. 
2. Press  the bearing  and  shaft assembly  from the 
housing  and the shaft  from  the bearing. 
Discard  both  rubber 
0 rings, examine  all 
components  especially the bearing  and 
skew gear 
for wear and damage  and renew if necessary. 
CAUTION: If the original  skew gear and 
camshaft  are 
to be re-used,  they must  be 
fitted 
so that  the teeth  on each,  mesh  in the 
original  position. 
If either the skew  gear or

Injection pump,  valve timing  and drive  belt. 
Drive  belt. 
During  use, a belt  develops  a wear pattern relative 
to its  running  direction,  therefore, if the original  belt 
is to be re-used  it must  be fitted so that  it continues 
to rotate  in the  original  direction,  otherwise the belt 
must  be renewed.  Cleanliness 
and accuracy  are vital  when  carrying  out 
the  timing  operations  and fitting  the drive  belt. 
1. Check  the gear  wheels  are not  damaged or 
scratched  and that  they  are thoroughly  clean 
and  dry. 
2. Ensure  that the belt  adjustment  idler bearing is 
sound  and not leaking  lubricant. 
3. Fit the  crankshaft  and camshaft  gears ensuring 
that  the camshaft  gear 
is retained with the 
special  bolt, washer  and new 
0 ring  but do 
not  tighten  at this  stage. 
4. Rotate  the camshaft so that  the centre  dot on 
the  camshaft  gear is aligned  with the arrow  in 
the  front  cover. 
5. Temporarily  refit the crankshaft  pulley and turn 
th  crankshaft 
so that  one  and four  pistons  are 
at  TDC  and the crankshaft  key 
is aligned with 
the  arrow  in the  front  cover. 
Drive  belts must  be stored  on edge on  a clean  flat 
surface  and in such  a manner  that bends  are not 
less than 50 mm (2 in) radius. Do not  bend  the belt 
at  an  acute  angle or radius 
less than 50 mm (2 in) 
otherwise  premature  failure 
of the fibre 
reinforcement 
could result.
