OVERHAUL Timing belt tensioner and gears - refit
1.Smear a new 'O' ring with engine oil and fit to
crankshaft.
2.Fit Woodruff key in slot in crankshaft.
3.Fit crankshaft gear on to crankshaft and using
a soft mallet, tap gear fully home.
4.Position camshaft timing gear and hub plate to
camshaft, fit bolt and washer, finger tighten
bolt. Do not tighten bolt at this stage.
NOTE: Later engines are fitted with a
flange head bolt.
5.Position fuel injection pump gear and hub plate
to fuel injection pump hub ensuring that cut-out
in hub plate is aligned with timing pin hole in
pump hub.
6.Fit 3 bolts, position slots in gear mid-way under
bolt heads, lightly tighten bolts.
CAUTION: Do not fit bolts through
elongated slots in hub plate. Ensure gear
does not move as bolts are tightened.
7.Insert timing pinLRT-12-045in hub plate and
