ENGINECHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engine: NFU
Setting the valve timing.
Loosen the screw (2), remove the belt.
Loosen the six pulley screws (1)on the hubs
(there should be a slight amount of friction between the screws and
the pinions).
Check that the rollers (2)and (3) rotate freely.
NOTE: The belt bears three identification marks (a), (b)and (c), facing its own teeth (1), (52)and (72)respectively
(identification marks = white paint lines on the back of the belt facing the corresponding teeth).
Refit the belt.
Line up mark (A)on the belt with groove (D)of the pinion (4).
Hold the belt against the pinion (4).

CHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engine: NFU
Setting the valve timing.
Turn the two pulleys (1)clockwise to the end of the slots.
With the belt strip (e)fully tensioned, place the belt over the pulley, first exhaust side, then inlet side, while
ensuring that marks (b)and (c)on the belt are aligned with marks (f)on the pulleys.
Hold the belt in this position and engage it over the water pump pinion and the tensioner roller.
Fit the tool [1] on the belt at (e).
Rotate the roller (2)
(using tool [5])in an anti-clockwise direction, to obtain: 63 SEEMunits.
Tighten the roller (2)to 2 m.daN.
Tighten the six screws (5)to 1 m.daN.
Essential: Check that:
- The camshaft pulleys (1)are not at the end of the slots
(by removing a screw).
- The markings on the belt are aligned with the markings on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys.
If not, repeat the setting procedure.
