ENGINE - K SERIES KV6

REPAIRS 12-3-75

Refit

NOTE: Following front or rear timing belt 
refitment, it is possible that after rotating the 
engine and positioning the crankshaft pulley to 
the 'SAFE' position, the timing marks on the 
rear timing gears may be misaligned. This 
misalignment is acceptable provided that the 
timing belt refitting procedure was carried out 
correctly.

1. Clean camshaft gears and mating faces on 

camshafts.

CAUTION: If the sintered gears have been 
subjected to prolonged oil contamination, 
they must be soaked in a solvent bath and 
then thoroughly washed in clean solvent 
before refitting. Because of the porous 
construction of sintered material, oil 
impregnated in the gears will emerge and 
contaminate the belt.

2. Place gears inverted on a flat surface, with the 

locating lugs on the gears positioned as 
illustrated.

3. Keeping the timing marks aligned, position 

timing belt onto gears.

4. Position LRT-12-195 between the gears, turn 

centre nut sufficiently to spread drive belt. 

5. Invert gears and timing belt and position  LRT-

12-175 to camshaft gears.

6. Check that the locating lugs are correctly 

aligned and remove LRT-12-195  from between 
camshaft gears.
