Bring the engine to the setting point.
Align the markings (L) of the crankshaft sprocket
with the fixed marking (M); the marking (N) of
the camshaft sprocket must be in the position il-
lustrated below.
Slacken the nut (O) and and release the tension
wheel , then remove the belt.

IMPORTANT: The camshaft sprocket bears five
markings, of which only the rectangular one on
the surface of one of the teeth represents TDC;
the other markings are intended as an aid for ad-
justing the valve rockers.

REFITTING
An arrow indicating the direction of rotation and
two dashes for setting are marked on the surface
of the belt .
Check that the engine is at the setting point.
Bring the belt markings in line with the sprocket
markings .
Observe the mounting direction for the belt and
begin to position it on the crankshaft sprocket.
Carry out the tensioning of the belt using tool
Mot. 1135-01, until the fitting value is obtained
(see section 07 "Timing belt tension ").
Tighten the nut (O) of the tension wheel to a tor-
que of 5 daN.m.
It is essential to tighten the nut of the tension
wheel to a torque of 5 daN. to avoid any slacke-
ning which may cause a deterioration in the en-
gine .
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Refit the crankshaft pulley, being sure to tighten
the bolt to a torque of 2 daN.m with an angle of
68° ± 6°.
Refit and tension the accessories belts (see section
07 "Accessories belt tension").
Never refit a belt once removed , but replace it. E7J Engine

REFITTING
Check that the pin Mot. 1054 is in place.
Fit the timing belt by aligning the belt markings
with those of the camshaft, injection pump and
crankshaft sprockets.
13096R
Tension the timing belt by tightening a bolt ( A )
on the inner timing housing.
Fit tool Mot. 1273 and tension the belt until the
fitting value is reached (see section 07 "Timing
belt tension").
13094R
Tighten the tension wheel nut to 5 daN.m.
NOTE : it is essential to tighten the tension wheel
nut to a torque of 5 daN.m to avoid any slacke-
ning which may bring about a deterioration in the
engine.
Replace the crankshaft pulley bolt.
Refit the crankshaft pulley , being sure to tighten
the bolt to a torque of 2 daN.m with an angle of
115° ± 15°.
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Refit the accessories belt (see section 07
"Accessories belt tension").

CLEANING
It is very important not to scratch the gasket faces
of the aluminium components.
Use the Décapjoint product to dissolve any part of
the gasket which remains attached.
Apply the product to the parts to be cleaned; wait
about ten minutes, then remove it using a
wooden spatula.
Wear gloves whilst carrying out this operation.
Care must be taken whilst carrying out this ope-
ration in order to avoid any foreign bodies ente-
ring the oilways supplying oil under pressure to
the camshaft (oilways are located both in the cy-
linder block and the cylinder head).
Failure to follow to this advice could lead to the
blocking of the jets and thus cause rapid deterio-
ration of the cams and tappets.
CHECKING THE GASKET FACE
Check for gasket face bow using a straight edge
and a set of shims .
Maximum deformation : 0.05 mm.
No regrinding of the cylinder head is permitted.
REFITTING
The cylinder head is centred by two dowels at the
rear of the engine.
REMINDER: in order to obtain the correct tighte-
ning of the bolts, use a syringe to remove any oil
which may have entered the cylinder head moun-
ting bolt holes .
Grease the threads and under the bolt heads with
engine oil.
Adjustment of the valve rockers and tightening
of the cylinder head should be carried out when
the engine is cold. D7F Engine

Tighten the cylinder head using an angular tighte-
ning wrench (see section 07 "Tightening the cy-
linder head").
Tighten using tool Mot. 591-04.
Line up the reference marks on the timing belt
with the markings on the sprockets.

Refit the timing belt (see method described in
chapter 11 "Timing belt "). D7F Engine
IMPORTANT: The camshaft sprocket bears five
markings, of which only the rectangular one on
the surface of one of the teeth represents TDC;
the other markings are intended as an aid for ad-
justing the valve rockers.
