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").
NOTE : Never refit a belt once it has been remo-
ved, but replace it.

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

Bring the pistons to mid-stroke position to
prevent them from coming into contact with the
valves during the tightening of the cylinder head .

mounting bolts.
Tighten the cylinder head (see section 07
"Tightening the cylinder head").

MEASURING THE THICKNESS OF THE CYLINDER
HEAD GASKET
Checking piston protrusion
Clean the piston heads in order to eliminate any
traces of deposits.
Turn the crankshaft in its operating direction
once, to bring piston n° 1 close to
TDC .
Fit tool Mot. 252-01 on the piston.
Fit tool Mot. 251-01, complete with dial gauge
Mot. 252-01. on the plate Ensure that the dial
gauge measuring pin is in contact with the cylin-
der block; then locate the piston
TDC.
NOTE
: All measurements are to be carried out in
the longitudinal axis of the engine, in order to eli-
minate any errors due to tilting of the piston.
99173R
Measure the piston protrusion.
ONLY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE
DIMENSIONS OF THE PISTON WITH THE
GREATEST PROTRUSION.
For a maximum piston protrusion:
- lower than 0.868 mm, use a gasket marked by
a tab with two holes ,
- included between 0.868 mm and 1mm, use a
gasket marked by a tab with one hole,
- greater than 1mm, use a gasket marked by a
tab with three holes. F8Q Engine

SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED
Mot. 1265 Pliers for removing quick release
unions
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
2 000 ml measuring cylinder
It is advised to check the pump supply flow
through the fuel return pipe connected to the
pump-fuel sender unit assembly.
IMPORTANT
During this operation, it is essential :
• to refrain from smoking and handling incan-
descent objects close to the working area,
• to take precautions against possible fuel
projections which may occur due to the resi-
dual pressure in the supply pipes when they
are removed.

CHECKING THE PUMP FLOW
Disconnect the fuel return pipe (1) (Mot. 1265).
Connect a piece of pipe to the hose and place this
into a 0-2 000 ml graduated measuring cylinder.
Shunt terminals (3) and (5) of relay (K) on the DF7
engine, or for the
E7J engine shunt at (L) on the
fuel pump relay (which is located in the engine
fuse box ). In one minute, the pump flow must be
a minimum of 1.3 litres with a voltage of 12
volts.
If the fuel flow is low, check the pump feed vol-
tage (approximately 10 % reduction in flow for a
voltage drop of 1 Volt)
