INSPECT Inspect     
6 Crank engine in direction of rotation until a valve lift of 2 mm is indicated IMPORTANT Engine must not be turned at the camshaft. Do not crank engine backwards during measurement, otherwise measurement errors occur.
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. ↓
