    The document discusses the timing procedure for the front gear group of C13, C15, and C18 generator set engines. It involves removing the front cover and adjustable idler gear. A timing gauge is installed and adjusted so there is 0.3556 ± 0.254 mm of backlash between the camshaft gear and gauge. The idler gear and front cover are then reinstalled after verifying proper timing marks alignment and backlash.

    The document discusses the procedure for checking and adjusting the timing of the front gear group on C13, C15, and C18 generator set engines. It involves aligning timing marks, measuring backlash, and ensuring proper torque specifications are followed.

    The steps include removing the adjustable idler gear and plate, loosening the stub shaft nuts, installing the gear segment tool, aligning timing marks, and measuring the backlash.

    The proper backlash measurement is 0.3556 ± 0.254 mm (0.0140 ± 0.010 inch).

    2. Loosen one bolt and two nuts (4) that secure the stub shaft. Remove the remaining three nuts. The one bolt and two
    nuts (4) can still be accessed when the gear segment tool is installed.

    3. With the flywheel pinned at TDC for cylinder one, align timing marks (5) .
    4. Install the cam gear backlash tool onto the stub shaft, as shown. Both sides of the gear segment tool should be
    engaged with the corresponding gear, as shown. Hand tighten the one bolt and two nuts enough so that slight
    resistance is felt if the stub shaft is rotated.

    5. Measure the backlash between camshaft gear (2) and gear segment tool (3). When the gear segment tool is held
    stationary, the backlash between the gears is 0.3556 0.254 mm (0.0140 0.010 inch). Lightly tap the stub shaft
    with a soft mallet to move the gear segment tool closer to the cam gear or further away from the cam gear as
    necessary to increase or decrease the amount of backlash.

    8. Install idler gear (1). Verify that the correct amount of backlash is still correct, and the mark on the camshaft gear is
    still aligned with the mark on the front housing.
    9. Install plate (2). Before installing bolts (3), clean the bolts with a wire brush to remove the old thread lock compound.
    Apply Loctite242 to the threads of the bolts and install the bolts. Then, tighten to the proper torque.
    10. Install the front cover. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Housing (Front) - Install".
