CHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engines: 9HX - 9HY - 9HZ
Checking and setting the timing (continued).
Peg the crankshaft at «e», using tool [3].
Remove:
- The timing belt protector (13).
- The engine speed sensor (14).
Slacken the screw (12)of the tensioner roller and keep it slackened using an allen spanner at «d».
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 (14)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 «j»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 «j» 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 «j»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 between the camshaft hole and the pegging hole is not
more than 1 mm. If the offset is too great, repeat the operation to position the timing belt
(see corresponding operation).
Remove the tools [2]and [3].
Refit tool [1]at «b».
Remove the screw (8).
Refit:
- The upper timing cover (11).
- The lower timing cover (12).
- The pulley (9).
- The screw (8).
Tightening methodfor the screw (8):
- Pre-tighten to 3 ± 0,3 m.daN.
- Angular tighten 180° ± 5°.
Remove tool [1].Refit:
- The engine support (7), tighten to 5,5 ± 0,9 m.daN.
- The engine support (3).
- The four screws (5), tighten to 5,5 ± 0,8 m.daN.
- The three screws (4), tighten to 5,5 ± 0,8 m.daN.
- The electrical harness (6).
Disengage the jack from under the engine.
Complete the refitting.
IMPERATIVE: Carry out the operations that are necessary following
