5. To check thc rotor to body clearance, fit the  rotor 
to the body  and with  feeler  gauges  measure  the 
clearance  at  the  narrow  point  between the rotor 
and  body.  The correct  clearance 
is 0,05 mm 
(0.002 in). 
6. Check  the clearance  between  the  rotor  and end 
plate by placing  a straight  across the  body and with 
feeler  gauges  measure  the clearance  between  the 
straight  edge  and  rotor. The correct  clearance 
should  be 
0,lO to 0,12 mm (0.004 to 0.005 in).

4 Dismantle  also the old  coupling  and use the sleeve 
to manufacture  a  suitable press tool.  Use  a round 
section file to increase  the depth  of the cross-pin 
slot 
so that it will not  bear upon the cross-pin  when 
used  to press 
in the  new  coupling.  Weld a suitable 
length 
of steel  bar or tube to  the sleeve to complete 
the tool. 
5. Fill the  annular  groove round the splines of the 
coupling  with silicone  rubber sealant. 
6. Assemble the skew gear and coupling  with the 
manufactured  press  tool 
in position  inside the 
coupling 
and place  under  the press  and slowly  press 
in the new  coupling.  Clean off surplus sealant  and 
swarf  from  the internal  splines 
of the skew  gear. 
7. Reassemble  the new  coupling  as  described  under 
‘Coup1 i ng Overhaul ’ . 
REMOVE THE CONNECTING-RODS  AND PISTONS 0 
During the following  instructions  it is important that all 
components  are kept 
in related  sets and the pistons  are 
identified  with their  respective  bores. 
1. Turn the crankshaft  to  bring  the  connecting-rod 
caps  to an  accessible  position and remove  each cap 
and  lower  shell 
in turn. Note that the  connecting- 
rod caps  arc numbered  one to four. 
2. Push  each  piston  assembly  up the bore and 
withdraw  from  the  cylinder  block.  Assemble the 
caps  and  shells 
to the connecting-rods and place to 
one  side  for inspection  with the cylindcr  block at a 
later stage. 
REMOVE  AND INSPECT  CRANKSHAFT 
1. Remove  the  eight  bolts  securing  the  flywheel 
housing 
to the  cylinder  block  and  remove  the 
housing  and  rear main  bearing  oil seal,  and 
‘0’ 
ring. 
The 
‘0’ ring has  been deleted on later engincs.
