5. With the specified air pressure appli€d, push up the
timing plate; the synchronizing piston will pop out
and engage the intake secondary rocker arm.
Visually check the engagement of the synchronizing
prston.
NOTE;
The synchronizing piston can be seen in the gap
between the secondary and primary rocker arms,
With the timing plate engaged in the groove on
the timing piston, the piston is locked in the

NOTE:
. When the timing plate is pushed up, it releases
the timing piston, letting the return spring move
the synchronizing piston to its original position.
