GENERAL INFORMATION

Prevention

For installation of a corner of an advancing of ignition on engines 14 NV and 16 SV it is necessary to use a tachometer and a stroboscope.

Removal

Detachment of the electric socket from the ignition distributor on model of 1,6 l (distribute a tel of BOSCH)

Detachment of the electric socket from the ignition distributor on the C16 NZ engine

Arrow VMT arrangement on LUCAS ignition distributor case

Unscrewing of a nut of fastening of a tightening level of the distributor of ignition

Removal of a tightening level of fastening of the distributor of ignition

Removal of the distributor of ignition

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Remove a weight wire from the accumulator.

2. Uncover the ignition distributor.

3. Disconnect the electric socket from the ignition distributor (see rice. A detachment of the electric socket from the ignition distributor on model of 1,6 l (distribute a tel of BOSCH), the Detachment of the electric socket from the ignition distributor on the C16 NZ engine).

4. On models 14 NV disconnect a vacuum tube from the vacuum regulator of an advancing of the ignition located sideways the ignition distributor.

5. If the distributor of ignition is repeatedly installed, combine adjusting tags on the case of the distributor of ignition and the case of the camshaft for installation of the distributor in a starting position.

6. For a bolt of fastening of a pulley of a bent shaft turn a bent shaft in the direction of working rotation before installation of the piston of the first cylinder at the time of ignition. The piston of the first cylinder is installed at the time of ignition if:

– the corresponding adjusting tags are combined – on models 14 NV the index on a back casing of a gear belt has to settle down in the middle between two tags on a pulley of a bent shaft; on models 16 NV the index on a back casing of a gear belt has to be combined with a tag on a pulley of a bent shaft;
– the working end of a rotor of the distributor has to be directed to the plug of a high-voltage wire of the first cylinder in an ignition distributor cover;
– on BOSCH ignition distributor the rotor of the distributor has to be combined with a groove in the distributor case; on LUCAS ignition distributor the rotor of the distributor has to be combined with arrow VMT on the distributor case (see rice. An arrow VMT arrangement on LUCAS ignition distributor case).

7. Unscrew a nut, remove a tightening level and remove the ignition distributor from the camshaft case (see rice. Unscrewing of a nut of fastening of a tightening level of the distributor of ignition, Removal of a tightening level of fastening of the distributor of ignition, Removal of the distributor of ignition).

8. If necessary disassemble the ignition distributor.

9. Check a condition of a sealing ring in a back part of the case of the distributor of ignition and if necessary, replace it.

Installation

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Check that the piston of the first cylinder is installed in the ignition moment. At the same time have to be combined sootvt stvuyushchy adjusting tags. If the bent shaft of the engine was turned at the removed distributor, install the piston of the first cylinder at the time of ignition in a compression step. Unscrew a spark plug of the first cylinder, close an opening for a candle a finger and turn a bent shaft of the engine until the finger does not feel compression of air in the cylinder. It demonstrates that the piston of the first cylinder rises up in a compression step. Turn a bent shaft of the engine further before combination of adjusting tags.

2. On the distributor of ignition BOSCH turn a distributor rotor so that it was combined with a groove in the distributor case. On distribute a body of ignition of LUCAS turn a distributor rotor that it was combined with arrow VMT on the distributor case. Check that the shaft of the distributor will connect to the camshaft only in this situation. If устанав earlier removed ignition distributor livatsya, combine the tags put on the case of the distributor and the case of the camshaft.

3. Establish a tightening level and fix by a nut, but do not tighten a nut finally.

4. On the distributor of ignition BOSCH remove a distributor rotor, then install the plastic screen and a rotor of the distributor.

5. On models 14 NV connect a vacuum tube to the vacuum regulator of an advancing of ignition.

6. Connect the electric socket to the ignition distributor.

7. Establish an ignition distributor cover.

8. Connect a weight wire to the accumulator.

9. Check and, if necessary, adjust installation of a corner of an advancing of ignition.
