In this case, the TDC mark on the crankshaft pulley should be opposite the pointer on the bottom cover of the gas distribution mechanism.
Insert the target into the guide shoe and slide it onto the crankshaft sprocket according to the alignment mark made on the chain when removed.
Install the chain guide shoe.
Wire both chain strands at the top of the guide shoe.
Install the lower timing cover gasket and apply Atmosit type sealing paste to the lower mating surface of the cover.
Remove the crankshaft pulley without turning the shaft, then install the lower timing cover.
After assembling the cylinder head, install the camshaft flange with the dowel pin pointing down. In this case, the mark on the flange must be aligned with the mounting lug on the cylinder head.
Slide the gasket onto the cylinder head studs. Install the cylinder head.
Tighten the cylinder head bolts (cm. «Cylinder head assembly»).
Separate the branches of the chain and put on its camshaft pulley, aligning the holes in the pulley and in the camshaft flange.
Tighten the camshaft pulley mounting bolts and lock them by bending the locking plates.
Pour engine oil into the reservoir of the top cover of the timing mechanism to the level of the plunger of the chain tensioner. Bleed the chain tensioner as follows:
- install the plunger and tensioner spring; in this case, it is necessary to insert the front groove of the plunger into the bracket of the tensioner shoe and direct the spring with the conical part to the plug;
- partially wrap the plug of the tensioner;
- press several times with a screwdriver on the tensioner shoe bracket until oil flows out of the plug;
- wipe off the plug and screw it back on.
Note. Noisy camshaft drive circuits can be caused by air in the plunger, stuck plunger, clogged plunger vent slots, ball valve failure, excessive stiffness or weakening of the plunger spring, stuck tensioner shoe bracket on the axle.
Install the upper timing cover, having previously applied Atmosit type sealant to its lower part.
Install the ignition distributor bracket. Install the ignition distributor in such a position that the rotor is against the mark on the distributor housing, and the piston of the 1-ro cylinder is at TDC of the end of the compression stroke.
Insert segment keys into sockets at the front end of the crankshaft, press in a new crankshaft front oil seal. Install the crankshaft pulley and secure it with a nut and washer.
Install the clutch with the driven plate protruding towards the pressure plate and center the disc on the flywheel with a drift.
Adjust valve clearances. Install the removed components and assemblies on the engine.
Start the engine and install it on the car.
