CHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engines: 9HZ - 9HY
Refit the screw (10).
Rotate the crankshaft six times
(clockwise).
IMPERATIVE: Never turn it backwards.
Peg the camshaft at «c», using tool [2]
(oil the peg).
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 «d».
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].

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).
