TIMING CASE AND DRIVE - K.2
Fig. K.2.
Checking Timing Gear Backlash.
3.
Refit the heat exchanger support bracket and
tachometer drive.
4.
Refit the crankshaft pulley ensuring that the
centre punch mark on the pulley coincides with
the line on the front face of the crankshaft (see
Fig. K.1). Fit the retaining setscrew and washer
and tighten to a torque setting of 300 Ibf ft (42
kgf m) 410 Nm.
5.
Refit the power take-off shaft to the crankshaft
pulley and secure with the four setscrews.
6.
Replace the dynamo/alternator and water pump
driving belt over the respective pulleys and
adjust as instructed on Page M.1.
Checking the Timing Gear Backlash
1.
Remove the timing case cover as detailed on
Page K.1.
2.
Check the timing gear backlash as shown in Fig.
K.2 using a clock gauge or feeler gauges. The
backlash
should
be
0.003
in
(0,08
mm)
minimum.
To Remove the Idler Gear and Hub
1.
Remove
the
timing
case
front
cover
as
previously described in this Section.
2.
Slacken and remove the three nuts securing the
idler gear retaining plate to the idler hub and
withdraw the retaining plate from its studs.
3.
Remove the idler gear from the hub. The hub
can now be withdrawn from its location in the
timing case.

1. Idler Gear Hub.
2. Oil Passage.
3. Oil Pressure Rail.
4.
Clean and thoroughly examine the gear and hub
for wear, cracks, and pitting, etc.
NOTE: - Replacement gears are supplied
with the bushes fitted and machined to the
dimensions given on Page B.8.
To Refit the Idler Gear and Hub
1.
After ensuring that the oilways in the hub are
perfectly clean, refit the hub to its location in the
timing case. The studs, on which the hub is
located, are positioned so that the hub will fit in
one position only, and the boss at the rear of the
hub locates in a recess machined in the front
face of the cylinder block (see Fig. K.3).
2.
Remove the top cover and slacken off the rocker
assembly securing nuts.
3.
Turn the crankshaft to T.D.C. No. 1 and 4
cylinders, i.e., with the crankshaft gear keyway
at the top of its periphery.
4.
Refit the idler gear to its hub ensuring that the
timing marks on the crankshaft, camshaft, fuel
pump and idler gears are correctly aligned as
shown in Fig. K.4.
5.
Assemble the idler gear retaining plate to its
studs and secure with the three setscrews
tightened to a torque setting of 30 Ibf ft (4,1 kgf
m).
