Make

sure
that
the

pistons

are

lubricated
with

Care

should
be
taken
to
ensure
that
the

are

clear
from
the

heads
of
the

pistons
The
crankshaft
and
camshaft
must
not
be

rotated

separately
or
the

will
strike

Ensure
that
the

Install
the

timing

chain

making
sure
that
the
crankshaft
and
camshaft

keys
are

XJinting
upwards
The
marks
on
the

timing
chain
must
be

aligned
with
the
marks
on
the

right
hand
side
of
the
crankshaft

and
camshaft

sprockets
It
should
be
noted
that
three

holes
are

provided
in
the
camshaft

sprocket
See

The

camshaft

sprocket

by
the

manufacturers
A
stretched
chain
will
however
affect
the

valve

timing
and
if
this
occurs
it
will
be

necessary
to
set
the
camshaft

to
the
No
3
location
hole
in
the
camshaft

sprocket
The
chain

can

be
checked

by
turning
the

engine
until
the

No

piston
is

at
T
D
C
on
its

compression
stroke
In
this

position
adjustment

will
be

required
if
the
location
notch
on

the
camshaft

sprocket

is
to
the
left
of
the

groove
on
the
camshaft

locating
plate
as

shown
in
the
illustration
The
correction
is
made

by
setting
the

camshaft
on

the
No

hole
in
the
camshaft

sprocket

the
No

should
then
be
to
the

and

the

will
have
to

be
set

using

can
be
carried
out
in

the
following
manner
if
it

is

decided

until
all

36
steel

have

dropped

out

should
be

gradually
turned

away
from
the

being

filled
and
if
the

are

stopped
by
the
end
of

hold

down
those

already
installed
with

it

may
be

necessary
to
turn

system
should
be
lubricated

every
two

years

or
50
000
km
30
000
miles
whichever
comes

fIrst

A
lithium
base

multipurpose
grease
must
be
used
for
the

rack
and

pinion
and
rack
and
tie
rod

joints
The

plug
on
the

steering
gear
housing
should
be
removed
and
a

grease
nipple

fitted
so
that
the
recommended

quantity
of
10
to

15

gram

0
35
to

0
53
oz
of

grease
can
be

injected
Remove
the

grease

nipple
and

replace
the
plug
when
lubrication
is

completed

The

grease
reservoir
on
the
tube

should
be

replenished
when

the
level
of

grease
falls
to

approximately
