Replace screws.1. Joining torque 25 Nm 2. Angle of rotation 60° 3. Angle of rotation 60° Checking the crankshaft side clearance
Check
- Attach the dial gauge 0 493 144 (11 6 251)
with the tripod 0 493 145 (11 6 252)
to the engine and measure the side clearance of the crankshaft.TECHNICAL DATA SPECIFICATION
Axial play of crankshaft Min.
Max.0.060 mm
0.250 mmResult
» The side clearance is exceeded.
Measure
- Replace worn components.
- Feed out a lint-free cleaning cloth (1) between the counterbalance shaft (2) on the intake side and crankcase (3) and remove it.
- Make sure that the needle bearing (4) is not damaged.
- Put crankshaft (2) in OT position or adjust.
- Position counterbalance shaft (1) of inlet side on the crankshaft (2) in arrow direction .
- The mark on the gear (1) of the intake for the counterbalance shaft must point upwards, vertical
to the oil sump sealing surface (3).
- Replace the screw (1).
Parts: Screw
- Screw the screw (1) into the counterbalance shafts of the inlet side.
- Do not
tighten screw (1) as otherwise it may not be possible to position the counterbalance shafts in the next step.
- Rotate the crankshaft to the TDC of the first cylinder .
- Mount the special tool 2 288 054
and abut the screws (1).NOTE: The description is for one component only The procedure is identical for all further components.
- Observe the correct fit of special tool 2 288 054 in the guides (1) of counterbalance shafts (2).
- If necessary, turn the crankshaft slightly.
- Tighten special tool 2 288 054
