XF/XE engine
1. Remove the valve covers. See “Removal
and installation”.
2. Place the fuel pump in the stop position.
Lock the fuel pump in this position.
3. Use the special tool (DAF no. 1310477) to
turn the crankshaft clockwise, as seen from
the timing gear end (this is the engine’s
normal direction of rotation), until the valves
of cylinder 1 overlap. The pistons of
cylinders 1 and 6 are now at top dead
centre.
Note:
“Overlap” is the moment at which the inlet
valve starts opening and the exhaust valve
finishes closing.
