V13-1151
  • ‒ → Lock camshaft with setting bar.
  • ‒ Centralize setting bar as follows:
    Turn camshaft so that one end of setting bar contacts the cylinder head. Using feeler gauge establish the gap at the other end of the setting bar. Place a feeler gauge corresponding to half the gap between setting bar and cylinder head. Turn camshaft until the setting bar contacts the feeler gauge. Place a 2nd feeler gauge, of same thickness, at the other end between setting bar and cylinder head.

  • ‒ Remove idler roller.
  • ‒ Take off toothed belt.

Installing

  • ‒ Check whether TDC mark on flywheel and reference mark are aligned.
 
V13-0897

Note:

Never use setting bar as a counter hold when loosening and tightening the camshaft sprocket, use retainer 3036.

  • ‒ → Loosen camshaft sprocket securing bolt 1/2 turn. Release camshaft sprocket from camshaft taper by tapping with a hammer (using a drift through rear toothed belt guard opening).

Engines without semi-automatic tensioning roller:

         Scale value: 12 ... 13
    measured between camshaft sprocket and injection pump sprocket.
  • ‒ Tighten lock nut on the tensioner.
         Tightening torque: 45 Nm
  • ‒ Tighten camshaft sprocket securing bolt to
    45 Nm.

  • ‒ Fit toothed belt (note direction of rotation) and remove pin from injection pump sprocket.
  • ‒ Install idler roller.
         Tightening torque: 25 Nm
 
N13-0027
  • ‒ → Turn tensioning roller with pin wrench (e.g. Matra V159) to right until notch aligns with raised portion (arrows).

Note:

If the eccentric has been turned too far the tensioning roller must be relieved completely and retensioned. The eccentric must never be turned back when it has been turned too far.

  • ‒ Tighten lock nut on tensioning roller.
         Tightening torque: 20 Nm
  • ‒ Check again whether TDC mark on flywheel and reference mark are aligned.
  • ‒ Tighten camshaft sprocket securing bolt to
    45 Nm.
  • ‒ Remove setting bar.
  • ‒ Turn crankshaft two rotations in engine D.O.R. until crankshaft is set to TDC No. 1 cylinder again.
  • ‒ Check if
         the TDC mark on flywheel
         the setting bar on camshaft
         the mandrel 2064 in injection pump sprocket
         the tensioning roller setting (notch/raised mark)
    align/are fitted correctly.
  • ‒ If notch and raised mark do not align, tension the tensioning roller. To do this, hold tensioning roller with pin wrench Matra V159, loosen securing nut, turn eccentric clockwise further until notch and raised mark align opposite one another and tighten securing nut to 20 Nm.
  • ‒ Turn crankshaft two rotations in engine D.O.R. until crankshaft is set to TDC No. 1 cylinder again.
  • ‒ Repeat check.

Continuation for all engines

  • ‒ Install toothed belt guard, vibration damper, belt pulley, and cylinder head cover.
