Check “TDC” position of camshaft and crankshaft: |
|
|
|
| Camshaft clamp -T10504- fitted on camshaft housing. |
| Engine codes CHPA, CMBA, CPVA, CXSA, CZDA, CZCA, CPVB |
|
|
|
| Camshaft clamp -T10494- must be attached to camshaft
housing. |
Risk of damage to valve gear caused by camshafts being moved in axial
direction.Never move camshafts in axial direction when turning them.
|
|
|
| Locking pin -T10340- screwed into cylinder block as far as
stop and tightened to 30 Nm. |
| Crankshaft has been turned in direction of engine rotation
until it rests against locking pin -T10340- = “TDC” position. |
|
|
|
| – |
Check, if all roller rocker fingers are seated properly on
valve stem end and if they are clipped into the respective
compensation element. |
Note
