ENGINECHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engines: 8HX 8HW 8HZ
B1EP18GC
Setting the timing.
Remove the upper timing cover (1).
Rotate the engine by means of the crankshaft screw (2).
NOTE:The pegging hole is located under the crankshaft bearing cap cover.
Peg the engine flywheel, using tool
[3].
Remove the lower timing cover (3).
Uncouple the exhaust line from the manifold.
IMPERATIVE: Uncouple the exhaust line in order to avoid damaging the front flexible pipe. Twisting,
pulling and bending the front flexible pipe reduces its life.
Remove:
The engine speed sensor (6).
The belt retaining stop (5).
The screw (2).
The crankshaft pinion (4)(with its magnetic track «a»).
IMPERATIVE: The magnetic track should show no signs of damage and should not be approached
by any other source of magnetism.Should this not be adhered to,it is essential to replace the crank
shaft pinion.
Refit the screw (2).

Setting the timing (continued).
Turn the tensioner roller to the right to bring the index «c»to position «d», using a
hexagonal spanner.
Tighten the screw
(9)of the tensioner roller, tighten to 3 ± 0,3 m.daN.
Remove the tools [4]and [5].
Rotate the engine
ten times(check that the timing pinion is correctly up against the
crankshaft).
Check:
The pegging of the camshaft.
The crankshaft pinion.
The fuel high pressure pump pinion
(15).
The correct positioning of the index of the dynamic tensioner.
If these are not correct, repeat the operation to position the timing belt.Refit:
The engine speed sensor
(6).
The belt retaining stop (5), tighten to 0,7 m.daN.

Setting the timing.
Perform the preliminary operations for checking the timing up to removing tool [1]at «a»for immobiling the
engine flywheel.
Refit screw
(8).
Rotate the crankshaft to bring the camshaft towards its pegging point.
Peg the camshaft, using tool
[2](oil the pegs).
WARNING: Do not press or damage the track which is the target for the engine speed sensor (14).
Peg the crankshaft at «b», using tool [3].
Remove:
The timing protector
(13).
The engine speed sensor
(14).
Slacken the screw
(12)of the tensioner roller, keeping it slack with the aid of a hexagonal spanner at
«c».
Detension the belt by pivoting the tensioner roller
(clockwise).
Remove the timing belt, commencing with the coolant pump pinion.
Peg the pulley
(15), using a 5 mmdiameter peg at «d».

Setting the timing (continued).
Chec
king the setting.
IMPERATIVE: Just prior to refitting, carry out the following tests.
Check that:
the rollers and the coolant pump operate freely
(no play and no tight spot).
there are no traces of oil
(from the crankshaft and camshaft sealing rings).
there is no leak of coolant fluid
(from the coolant pump).
the target track of the engine speed sensor
(14)is not damaged or scratched
(if necessary replace the defective components).
Refitting.
Fit the timing belt on the crankshaft pinion.
Position the belt on the guide roller, with the belt well tensioned.
Refit:
The timing protector
(13).
The sensor
(14).

Adjusting the timing belt tension (continued).
IMPERATIVE: Never rotate the engine backwards.WARNING:
Do not touch or damage the track of the target of the engine speed sensor (14).
Peg the crankshaft, using tool
[3].
Check the position of the tensioner roller
(the alignment of the marks «f»and «g»should be correct).
If this is not the case, repeat the operation to tension the belt.Peg the camshaft pulley, using tool
[2].
IMPERATIVE: Should it be impossible to peg the camshaft, check that the offset between the
camshaft hole and the pegging hole is not more than 1 mm. If the offset is too great, repeat theoperation.
Remove the pegs [2]and [3].
Refit tool
[1]at «a».
Remove the screw
(8).

Detension the timing belt by pivoting the tensioner roller (clockwise).
Remove the timing belt, starting with the coolant pump pinion.
Checks.
ESSENTIAL: Just prior to refitting, proceed to the checks as below.
Check:
That the rollers and the coolant pump pulley turn freely (without play and without tight
spot).
That there are no signs of oil leaks (at the crankshaft and camshaft seals).
That there are no leaks of coolant fluid(at the coolant pump).
That the track of the engine speed sensor target (15)is not damaged or scratched.
Replace any components that are defective (if necessary).

Adjusting the timing belt tension.
Act on the tensioner roller (18)to align the marks «g»and «h», avoiding detensioning the
timing belt, using an allen spanner at «d».
Should this fail, repeat the operation to tension the timing belt.Hold the tensioner roller
(18).
Tighten the tensioner roller fixing nut to 3,7 ± 0,3 m.daN.
Check the position of the tensioner roller (the alignment of the marks «g»and «h»should
be correct).
Remove tools [2]and [3].
Rotate the crankshaft six times(clockwise).
IMPERATIVE:Never rotate the engine backwards.
WARNING:
Do not touch or damage the track of the target of the engine speed sensor (14).
Peg the crankshaft, using tool
[3].
Check the position of the tensioner roller (the alignment of the marks «g»and «h»should
be correct).
If this is not the case, repeat the operation to tension the timing belt.
Peg the camshaft pulley, using tool
[2].
IMPERATIVE: Should it be impossible to peg the camshaft, check that the offset bet
ween the camshaft hole and the pegging hole is not more than 1 mm. If the offset is
too great, repeat the operation.
Remove tools [2]and [3].
