CHECKS AND SERVICE
Coat the new filter rubber gasket with oil.
Check the area on the engine in contact
with the filter and screw on the filter by
hand until it just touches the engine. Then
screw the filter a further half turn, but not
more.
NOTE. Only use a genuine oil filter.
Start the engine, allow it to idle and
immediately check that the oil pressure
warning lamp is out.
Check the oil level and also for any
leakage round the oil filter.
CHECK THE BELT
Check the belt thoroughly for wear and
cracks. Replace it if there is any indica-
tion of such. To remove the belt, slacken
the alternator retaining points in order to
be able to slip the belt off. Wipe clean the
belt groove on the pulleys before fitting
the new belt. Tension the belt so that it
can only be depressed 5 mm (3/16”) with
the thumb between the pulleys. After the
engine has been run for an hour or so,
re-check and if necessary adjust the belt
tensioning.
