Engine Overhaul

Technical Description

EXHAUST TIMING ADJUSTMENT F136UC Rotate the engine in clockwise direction and position the first piston at TDC with the camshafts in the balanced position (exhaust closed and intake open). Make sure that the corresponding dial gauge is set to zero. Place the tip of the dial gauge on the tappet of an exhaust valve. The dial gauge stem must be in a position which is as perpendicular as possible with respect to the tappet surface. Reset the dial gauge measuring the shift of the exhaust tappet. Rotate the crankshaft in clockwise direction until one exhaust valve is closed. Check that the downstroke of the tappet, consequently the opening of the exhaust valve, is 0.57±0.08 mm.
