1. The setting scale for adjusting the ignition timing is bolted to the clutch housing next to the crankshaft pulley. After the first installation and adjustment of the scale, its position is fixed with a smear of white paint. If the dial was removed during engine overhaul or clutch housing replacement, or if you suspect that it is not properly adjusted, its position can be checked and adjusted as follows.
2. Workshops "Peugeot" the scale is adjusted using a special tool that you can easily make yourself from a rod with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 130 mm.
3. Remove the plug from the casing of the gas distribution mechanism (immediately above the cover above the end of the crankshaft) (see photo). Turn the crankshaft with a wrench on its pulley bolt so that one of the notches on the pulley flange aligns with the second notch on the setting scale (the crankshaft rotates clockwise when looking at the pulley). Insert a bar into the hole in the timing cover and shake the crankshaft slightly so that the bar enters the slot on the crankshaft web and locks it in the TDC position. for cylinders NN 2 and 3. If the bar does not fit into the slot, pull it out, rotate the crankshaft 180°and align the second notch on the pulley flange with the notch on the setting scale. Make sure that the bar does not fall under the casing of the timing mechanism.
4. With the crankshaft locked in the TDC position You can check the adjustment accuracy of the setting scale. If the notch on the pulley is not exactly aligned with the second notch on the scale (the first notch on the scale is for setting the ignition timing to 8°or 10°BTDC.), loosen the scale fixing bolt, carefully move it so that the mark on the pulley is exactly aligned with the second notch on the scale, and tighten the bolt again. Having correctly adjusted the scale, erase the old mark and paint a new one.
5. Pull out the setting rod and replace the plug.
