ENGINECHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engine: RFK
Tensioning the timing belt.
Turn the tensioner roller (9)anti-clockwise, using a hexagonal spanner at «c».
Place the index «a»in position «e».
IMPERATIVE: The index «a» should go past the slot «f» by an angular value of 10°.
If it does not, replace the tensioner roller or the tensioner roller and timing belt assembly.
Then bring the index «a»to its adjustment position «f», by turning the tensioner roller in the direction
of the arrow «d».
WARNING: The index «a» must not go past the slot «f».
If it does, restart the operation to tension the timing belt.
IMPERATIVE : The tensioner roller must not turn during the tightening of its fixing. If it does
turn, restart the operation to tension the timing belt.
Tighten the screw (10)of the tensioner roller (9)to 2,1 ± 0,2 m.daN.
IMPERATIVE: The hexagonal tensioner roller drive should be at approx. 15° below the level of
the cylinder head gasket «g».
Otherwise, replace the tensioner roller or the tensioner roller and timing belt assembly.

Checking the setting (continued).
Remove:
- The accessories drive belt.
- The accessories drive pulley.
- The lower timing cover (3).
IMPERATIVE: The magnetic track should show no signs of damage
and should not be approached by any other source of magnetism.
Reposition the screw (2).
Remove tool [3].
Rotate the engine by means of the crankshaft pinion screw (2)
(clockwise), to bring it to the pegging position.
Position the tool [4].
Peg the crankshaft pinion (1), using tool [5].
Peg the high pressure pump pinion, using tool [5].
NOTE: Index «a»of the roller tensioner must be centred within
the area «b».
Check the correct positioning of index «a».
Remove tools [4]and [5].
Rotate the engine ten times.
Fit the tools [4]and [5].

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
crankshaft pinion.
Refit the screw (2).
