Installing Chain Housing Cover

Information 

• Acetone can be used to clean the sealing faces. Ventilate this for 5 minutes before applying more sealant. 

Information 

Carefully apply Loctite 5900 sealant and make sure that no sealant gets into the bolt holes when joining the chain housing cover. Loctite 5900 can increase the friction coefficient of the aluminum screw. The sealant must not overflow.

1. Check that the -1-  control chain marking is still aligned with the crankshaft.

   The feather key must be -Arrow- at 1 o'clock position in TDC position.

   Information 

   If cold or excessively low-tempered components are sealed to each other by applying sealant, leaks can occur because of condensed water forming or components distorting. Components must have a uniform temperature of at least 17°C.

2. Clean and degrease the sealing faces of the engine and chain housing cover..
   1. 2.1 Clean sealing -Arrows-  faces with primer Loctite 7515.

6. Carefully position the chain housing cover.

   Information 

   When positioning the chain housing cover, a second person must ensure that no sealant is smeared.

   1. 6.1 The chain housing cover -1-  fits just past the narrow point between the coolant pipe and the hydraulic pump bracket -Arrows-  .

8. Securing the chain housing cover.

   Information 

   The > 9768 - electronic torque wrench, 2 - 100 Nm (1.5 - 74 ftlb.) must be used when tightening the chain housing cover.

   The following parameters must be monitored for the M6 aluminum screws:

   • Torque limits: > Lower torque limit 5.2 Nm (3.8 ftlb.) > Upper torque limit 9 Nm (6.6 ftlb.)
   • Rotation angle window: > Minimum torque angle + 50° > Maximum torque angle + 95°

   Example 1: The maximum torque of 9 Nm (6.5 ftlb.) is reached. The minimum torque angle is not below the 50° limit --> Installation is OK.

   Example 2: The maximum torque angle of 95° is reached. The minimum torque does not fall below the 5.2 Nm (3.8 ftlb.) limit -> Installation is OK.

   If the limits are exceeded when screwing in screws, the relevant screw must be replaced.

   Information 

   In case of repair, two aluminum screws must be changed to steel screws -15 and 30-  with aluminum washers -Arrows-  .

   > Refer to the appropriate service information
