REFITTING

I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION

• It is essential to replace the camshaft seal.

Note: Always replace any camshaft pulley studs which were loosened during the operation.

Do not touch or soil the pre-coated section of the new stud as this may cause oil to leak out from the camshaft. In this case, torque tighten the camshaft stud 12 N.m.

II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART CONCERNED

• Screw the stud (22) of the (Mot. 1632) onto the camshaft.
• Fit a new camshaft seal on the camshaft.

Note:

For camshaft seals delivered fitted to a protective sleeve:

• do not remove the camshaft seal from its protective sleeve,
• fit the sleeve fitted with the camshaft seal to the camshaft,
• push the protective sleeve towards the cylinder head until the camshaft seal reaches its limit on the cylinder head,
• fit the seal on the camshaft by following the recommendations below.

1 - First fitting of the camshaft seal

• Fit the cover (23) and the collar nut (24) of the (Mot.1632).

• Screw on the collar nut until the cover touches the cylinder head.

2 - Second fitting of the camshaft seal

Note: The spacer (27) is used to fit the seal (28) and is used in addition to the tool (Mot. 1632) (29).

• Position the bell (30) fitted with the spacer on the camshaft seal side and then position the collared nut (31) of the tool (Mot. 1632).

Note: The spacer fits on the bell of the tool (Mot. 1632) so that the internal edge of the spacer is on the side of the camshaft seal.

• Screw on the collar nut until the spacer fitted on the cover touches the cylinder head.

3 - Continued for both methods

• Remove:
  • the collar nut from the (Mot. 1632),
  • the cover from the (Mot. 1632),
  • the stud of the (Mot. 1632),
  • the protective sleeve and the spacer, if fitted then throw them away.
