3. CHECKING AND ADJUSTING

3.1 INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT, CE ENGINE VALVE CLEARANCE

Note:

Inspection and adjustment of valve clearance

must only be carried out when the engine is cold.

1.

Remove the valve cover. See 'Removal and

installation'.

2.

Use an open-end spanner on the fan shaft to

turn the crankshaft clockwise, as seen from

the vibration damper end (this is the engine's

normal direction of rotation), until the mark

(A) is between the bolts (B) and the valves of

cylinder 1 are in overlap position.

Note:

"Overlap" is the moment at which the inlet

valves start opening and the exhaust valves

stop closing.

The inlet valves are operated by the short

rockers and the exhaust valves by the long

rockers.

Using an open-end spanner on the fan shaft,

turn the crankshaft one rotation further so

that the mark (A) is once again between the

bolts (B) and the valves of cylinder 6 overlap.

5.

Check/correct the valve clearance of the

specified inlet and exhaust valves. Set the

correct valve clearance by loosening the

locknut and rotating the adjusting screw in

the correct direction; see "Technical data" for
