correct assembly of the crankshaft in the housing is obtained by interposing
a
number of shims (shown vertically abovme the hole in the crank case)
between the housing cover and the cast iron case.

It is a comparatively easy matter to remove the Distributor complete
by slacking off the nut on the plate that locks the unit in position. This nut
must not be confused with the nut which locks the distributor to the advance
plate. It is always possible to increase the amount of the advance by
slackening the nut referred to and rotating the distributor slightly and then
tightening the nut, but as it is set when
it
leaves the Works is best for all
round running.
In order to obtain a
correct id,ea of how the oil pump and the Distributor
are related to one another, both these components are shown in Illustration
