ENGINECHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engines: 8HX - 8HZ
B1EP18KC
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.

Checking the timing (continued).
Peg the camshaft at «c», using tool [2]
(oil the pegs).
WARNING: The magnetic track should not show any sign of damage and should not be
approached by any other magnetic source.
Peg the crankshaft at «d», using tool [3].
ESSENTIAL: Should it not be possible to peg the camshaft, check that the offset between
the camshaft pinion hole and the pegging hole is not more than 1 mm. If it is more, repeat
the operation to position the timing belt
(see corresponding operation).
Note : The index «e»of the dynamic tensioner roller should be centred in the interval «f».
Check the correct positioning of the index «e».
If it is not correct, repeat the operation to tension the timing belt
(see corresponding operation).
Remove tools [2]and [3].
Refitting.
Peg the flywheel at «b», using tool [1].
Remove the screw (8).
Refit the upper timing cover (11), lower timing cover (10), the accessories drive pulley (9), the screw (8).
Tightening method for the screw (8):
- Pre-tighten to 3 ± 0,3 m.daN.- Angular tighten: 180° ± 5°.
Remove the tool [1]and complete the refitting.
IMPERATIVE: Carry out the operations that are necessary following a reconnection of the battery
(see corresponding operation).

(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).
