17B ENGINE TIMING
Caution: Ensure that the piston comes lightly into
contact with the piston position probe, or both the
piston and the probe could be damaged.
6 Very carefully rotate the crankshaft clockwise
until the piston just comes into contact with the
piston position probe.
7 The timing is correct when the two lamps on the
timing light are illuminated.
If both of the lamps are not illuminated, release the
setscrews and remove the gear cover from the
timing case cover. Loosen the cap screws which
retain the fuel pump gear. Adjust the position of the
fuel injection pump hub until both lamps are
illuminated. Tighten the cap screws to 35 Nm
(26 lbf ft) 3,6 kgf m.
8 To check the timing is correct: Rotate the
crankshaft counter-clockwise, from the front of the
engine to move the piston away from the probe and
repeat paragraphs six and seven above.
9 Press the switch on the timing light to the "OFF"
position. Disconnect the earth cable from the
engine. Release the outer body of the probe and
remove the probe from the timing attachment and
remove the timing light.
10 Check that the brass end of the plastic pin can
be seen in the cap for the timing attachment. Fit the
cap together with a new washer.
Caution: If the plastic pin is not put into the cap
correctly, damage could occur to the fuel injection
pump.
11 Release the setscrews and remove the piston
position probe from number 1 cylinder. Fit the
atomiser together with a new seat washer. Tighten
the setscrews for all of the atomisers gradually and
evenly to 12 Nm (9 lbf ft) 1,2 kgf m.
12 Fit the gear cover together with a new joint to
the timing case cover. Clean the threads of the
setscrews for the gear cover and apply a sealant to
the threads. Fit the setscrews and tighten them.
13Fit the rocker cover, operation 12A-01.
