is used for the staking bore between the vibration balancer and timing-case cover for setting the TDC.
- The assembly chain tensioner auxiliary chain tensioner 9683/1
is required in the V8 engine for setting the timing precisely because of the tolerances of the long timing chain. It is not suitable for the 4.5-litre engine. Lubricate the connection with a few drops of commercially available pneumatic oil (to prevent the inner piston from seizing). Operating pressure: 5.0 to 5.5 bar.
