Camshaft Axial Play Adjustment
If a part that affects the axial play has been replaced, the axial play
must be adjusted as described below.
Shim adjustment is not available on the FE120 and 170.
•
Place a gasket on the crankcase and measure and record the
distance from the gasket surface to the crankshaft gear surface
(measurement A).
A Measurement [A]
B: Measurement [B]
C: Crankcase Cover
D: Crankcase
E: Gasket
•
Measure and record the distance from the crankcase cover mating
surface to the end face of the crankshaft bearing inner race (mea-
surement B).
•
Apply these measurements on the crankshaft shim selection table,
and trace the respective line.
•
Select the next thinner shim that appears on the shim selection table.
For example, on the FE290, if measurement [A] is 14.62 mm and
measurement [B] is 16.24 mm, the correct shim thickness is t =1.38
mm.
NOTE
The FE290D camshaft has no shim adjustment.
