          • Rough running engine 
          • Loss of engine power 
            1. → Do not use force when fitting the staking tool.
            2. → Make sure that the gap is equal on both sides.
            3. → When inserting the staking tools, do not use force to turn the camshafts against any resistance.
            4. → The engine must be exactly at top dead centre.
            5. → The opposite cylinder must be at ignition TDC.
    7. Remove staking tools, perform two revolutions of the engine and check the timing again.

        Turn the crankshaft slightly to do this if necessary. (Only in direction of rotation of engine) 

      3. 12.3  Tighten exhaust camshaft actuator -1-  .
        • Final tightening + 35°
