REFITTING
Put a drop of RHODORSEAL 5661 at (A) (on either
side of bearing N˚ 1), and at (B) (at the intersection of
the crankshaft closure panel and the cylinder block).
Refit the sump with a new gasket, pre-tightening it to a
torque of 0.8 daN.m, then tighten it finally to a torque
of 1.5 daN.m in the order recommended below.
Fill the engine with oil.

Special features of vehicles fitted with air
conditioning:
Before removing the accessories belt, check the
centreline of the automatic tensioner (see
section 07 "Checking the accessories belt
tension").
Loosen bolt (A), then bolt (B) to past the shoulder
while holding the automatic tensioner plate using a
9.35 mm square, then relax the belt moving the
ratchet in the direction of the arrow.
Remove the Top Dead Centre pin plug.
Position the engine support, tool Mot. 1453 with the
retaining straps.Remove:
– the suspended mounting cover and its movement
limiter.
– the bolt (1), and slacken engine tie-bar bolt (2),
without removing it.
Adjusting the timing
Turn the crankshaft to align the camshaft and housing
timing marks while at the same time inserting the TDC
pin Mot. 1054 (begin to press one half tooth on the
pin before aligning the camshaft marks to prevent
it falling into a crankshaft balancing hole).

Remove the timing gear cases.
Release the tension wheel, then remove the timing
belt.
Check that the tension wheel and pulleys turn freely
without play.
NOTE: Slackening the tension wheel bolt by more
than one turn may cause it to come loose.

REFITTING
Engine cold (ambient temperature).
Check that 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.
Bring the tension wheel into contact with the belt by
tightening a bolt to the inner timing cover.
Remove pin Mot. 1054.Apply a pretensioning torque using Mot. 1543 (fitted
with cover N˚ 3) by using a torque wrench adjusted to
a torque of 1.1 daN.m on the edge of the belt to be
measured.

Fit the reading head of Mot. 1505 and carry out the
measurement, then adjust the tension using the bolt
in contact with the belt until pretension value
T1 = 68 ± 3 Hertz is reached.
Tighten the tensioner.
Turn the crankshaft four times and reposition the
timing at top dead centre using the pin.
Remove pin Mot. 1054.
Apply a pretensioning torque using Mot. 1543 (fitted
with cover N˚ 3) by using a torque wrench adjusted to
a torque of 1.1 daN.m on the edge of the belt to be
measured.
Fit the reading head of Mot. 1505 and carry out the
measurement, then adjust the tension using the bolt
in contact with the belt until pretension value
T2 = 61 ± 5 Hertz is reached.
Tighten the tension wheel nut to a torque of 5 daN.m.
NOTE: it is vital that you tighten the tension wheel
nut to torque to avoid any slackening which may
cause damage to the engine.
Never refit a belt once removed, but replace it.
Replace the crankshaft pulley bolt and tighten it to a
torque of 2 daN.m plus an angle of 115˚ ± 15˚.
See section 07 "Accessories belt tension" for the
tension value for fitting the power assisted steering
belt.The belts on vehicles fitted with air conditioning are
tensioned by bringing the automatic tensioner plate to
a stop at bolt (B), without forcing it, using a 9.35 mm
square.
