f the crankshaft and camshaft are
turned without being synchronised with each
other the valves can go against the pistons and
be damaged.
Note: The gears in the timing gears which are of import-
ance for adjustment are marked as follows:
Crankshaft gear - the intermediate gear is marked with
a punch mark and the intermediate gear - camshaft
gear with a circle opposite the tooth and tooth gap
(Fig. 61).
