Typical example
Clean idler gear (2) and inspect the idler gear for wear or damage. Refer to Specifications, "Gear Group (Front)" for more information. If necessary, replace the idler gear.
Clean hub (7) and inspect the hub for wear or damage. Refer to Specifications, "Gear Group (Front)" for more information. If necessary, replace the hub.
Lubricate hub (7) with clean engine oil. Slide the hub into idler gear (2). Ensure that the timing marks are toward the front of the idler gear.
Align the timing mark on idler gear (2) with the timing mark on the camshaft gear. Refer to the Illustration 1. Install the assembly of idler gear (2) and hub (7) into the recess in the timing case. Ensure that Oil Hole (Z) is to the top of the hub. Note: The idler gear must be tilted during installation. Ensure that the holes in the hub are aligned with the holes in the cylinder block.
Clean plate (3) and inspect the plate for wear or damage. If necessary, replace the plate.
Lubricate plate (3) with clean engine oil. A used plate should be installed in the original orientation. If a new plate is installed, ensure that the ground face is toward the idler gear (3). Ensure that the holes in the plate (3) are aligned with the holes in hub (7). Install plate (3) to hub (7).
Install bolts (1). Tighten bolts (1) to a torque of 44 N m (32 lb ft).

Checking end play by using a set of feeler gauge's
Use a set of feeler gauge's in order to check the end play for the idler gear. Refer to Specifications, "Gear Group (Front)" for more information.
Use Tooling (C) in order to check the backlash between the idler gear and the camshaft gear. Refer to Specifications, "Gear Group (Front)" for more information.
Use Tooling (C) in order to check the backlash between the idler gear and the crankshaft gear. Refer to Specifications, "Gear Group (Front)" for more information.
Lightly lubricate all of the gears with clean engine oil. End By:
Install the fuel injection pump gear. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Fuel Pump Gear - Install".
Install the crankshaft front pulley. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Crankshaft Front Pulley - Remove and Install".
If the engine is equipped with an accessory drive, install the accessory drive. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Accessory Drive - Install".
Install the valve mechanism cover. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Valve Mechanism Cover - Remove and Install". Installation Procedure (Heavy-Duty Idler Gear)
