Remove the distributor cap from the distributor and remove all parts.

Pull the Hall sensor plug out of the distributor wall. In this case, the spring clamps must be compressed to release the plug.

Crank the engine until the piston of the first cylinder is at the top dead center of the compression stroke and mark the position of the rotor tip with a scriber on the outer edge of the distributor housing. To turn, install a replaceable socket head of the wrench on the bolt on the inside of the crankshaft vibration damper. To make it easier to turn the engine, you can unscrew the spark plugs.



Remove the two bolts and pull the distributor horizontally out of the cylinder head. Allen bolts are used for fastening.

Remove the seal. If the engine does not turn over or no repairs are made to the ignition distributor, then the distributor is reinstalled in its original position.

If the ignition distributor is installed after engine repair or the engine was turned over in the interim, then in this case it is necessary to proceed as follows.

With the engine installed, crank it until the piston of the first cylinder is at the top dead center of the compression stroke, that is, both valves should be closed (if the cylinder head cover is removed), or turn the engine until the flywheel "O" marker is in line with the timing mark on the window.

With the engine removed, turn it until the groove in the crankshaft vibration damper (pulley) is in line with the arrow on the control system protective sheet.

These instructions apply to reassembling the engine after repairs or other work in which the distributor was removed while the engine was removed. The camshaft catch is in the correct position when the engine is at top dead center (1st cylinder).

The ignition distributor rotor is turned so that it points to the marked mark on the edge of the distributor housing.

The distributor is installed in this position and screwed in using two bolts with hexagonal heads.

The plug is reinserted into the distributor and the spring clamps are tightened.

The spark plug cable guides are re-mounted on the cylinder head and the spark plug connectors are installed (the spark plugs are screwed in, and if they were removed, then they need to be thoroughly checked before that) and the distributor cap is reinstalled.
