Measuring Sprocket Wheel Parallel Alignment

Before measuring, push intermediate shaft and camshafts axially toward the flywheel to set bearing thrust flanges in position.

The measurement is made through the hole below the intermediate shaft against the side of the forward chain sprocket wheel on the intermediate shaft (dimension A).

This dimension must also be achieved at the sprocket wheel for bank of cylinders #4-6. Use shims if necessary (max. permissible deviation is 0.25 mm).

Sprocket wheel for bank of cylinders #1-3, mounted on the intermediate shaft, is positioned 54.8 mm farther to the front. These 54.8 mm (design dimension) must be considered when determining dimension A (max. permissible difference is 0.25 mm).

Example: Measure Dimension A - 78.7 mm

The formula for sprocket wheel of cylinder bank 1-3 is: A + 54.8 = 78.7 + 54. 8 = 133.5 mm
