SAFETY INFORMATIONS
•
Keep children and other persons away from the working area.
•
Do not allow children to play with this tool or its packaging.
•
Do not use the tool if parts are missing or damaged.
•
Use the tool for the intended purpose only.
•
Never place the tool on the vehicle battery. There is a risk of a short circuit.
•
Be careful when working on running engines. Loose clothing, tools and other objects can be
caught by rotating parts and cause serious injury.
•
Be careful when working on hot engines because of the risk of burn injuries!
•
If you remove the ignition key before repairing, you can prevent the engine from being started
accidentally and resulting in engine damage.
•
This manual serves as a brief guide and does not replace a workshop manual. Always refer to
the vehicle-specific service literature, particularly the technical data such as torque values and
instructions for disassembly/assembly, etc.
•
After repair or before starting the engine, turn a minimum of 2 turns by hand and check the
timing again.
•
Turn the engine only in the normal direction of rotation (clockwise unless otherwise specified)
•
Do not use locking tools for camshaft and crankshaft as a counter-holder, during loosening or
tightening screws on pulley, camshaft or crankshaft. This can damage tools and engine
components. Only use tools that are suitable for this purpose.
USE
Checking Valve Timing
To check that the valve timing is correct, a Flywheel Locking Tool must be inserted to 'lock' the
flywheel (and therefore the crankshaft), in timed position, and a Camshaft Setting Plate must be able
to be fixed in place across the 'timing flats' on each bank of camshafts and rest fully on the surface of
the cylinder head.
Flywheel Locking Pin – Silver (Early Engines)
Flywheel Locking Pin – Gold (Later Engines)
These two Flywheel Locking Pins cover the complete range of engines. They are color coded and for
additional identification it can also be seen in (Fig.1), that (no.1) has two parallel flat faces, whereas
(no.2) has three flat faces.
The shapes of these flywheel locking pins match the appropriate timing hole profiles in the flywheel.
The Flywheel Locking Pin enters in to the flywheel 'timing hole' through the crankshaft position sensor
hole. The position sensor is removed, and the Flywheel Locking Pin is inserted through the engine, in
to the flywheel, and bolted in position.
