3.4 Setting of damper
Setting of damper 33 is necessary only after a valve spindle or valve seat has been
replaced, and after one of the valve seating faces has been ground. Setting is to be
carried out, after assembling of the exhaust valve as shown in Fig. ’H’.
Check bores ’BO’ (Fig. ’B’) in the damper for free passage.
3.5 Determining of total thickness ’h’ of the shims
⇒ Remove damper 33.
⇒ Determine with depth gauge 94126 measure ’H’ from the edge of upper hous-
ing 5 to the bottom of the damper bore in inside piston 7; for this the exhaust
valve must be closed (check with feeler gauge whether the valve plate lies
against the valve seat without clearance).
D The total thickness ’h’ of shims 34 assigned to measure ’H’ is shown in the
following table:
