| Inspect | |||
| 6 | Crank engine in direction of rotation until a valve lift of 2 mm is indicated | In this position the marking at the vibration damper see table (intake valve opens ATDC) must be aligned with the TDC pointer at the timing case cover. In case of a deviation of more than 4°CA, the timing chain has to be replaced. ↓ |
