Power Master Infi-CLOCK User manual

If “clocking” of the starter block is required,
it is critical that the in-CLOCK ring be tightened correctly.
Note: The starter comes pre-clocked for most applications.
IMPORTANT!
1. Loosen the two bolts that retain the in-CLOCK
ring using a T25 TORX bit.
DO NOT USE A HEX KEY.
2. Temporarily mount the starter to the engine.
3. Rotate the starter body to the preferred
position and make a reference mark from the
starter block to the starter body.
4. Remove the starter.
5. Rotate the block into position and tighten
the two ring bolts. The bolts must be
tightened evenly. While holding the ring
parallel to the block, lightly snug each bolt.
Evenly tighten the bolts in an alternating
pattern. Torque to 50 in/lbs. Inspect the ring
again to be certain it is parallel to the block.
6. Reinstall the starter to the engine.
Clocking steps:
Using Blue Loctite® or
equivalent thread lock on
the two ring bolts is
REQUIRED!
*Ring and block face must
be parallel after clocking is
complete.

1. Mark the starter body to starter block position so it
can be correctly positioned during reassembly.
2. Remove the two bolts that retain the infi-CLOCK ring
using a T25 TORX bit (figure 1).
DO NOT USE A HEX KEY.
3. Remove the ring and block.
4. Install the shim and reassemble as shown (figure 2)
5. Rotate the block into position and tighten the two
ring bolts. The bolts must be tightened evenly. While
holding the ring parallel to the block, lightly snug each
bolt (figure 3). Evenly tighten the bolts in an alterna -
ing pattern. Torque to 50 in/lbs. Inspect the ring again
to be certain it is parallel to the block.
6. Reinstall the starter to the engine.
After the starter has been installed, there should be 1/16” (0.062) mini-
mum between the engine side of the ring gear and the front edge of the
teeth on the starter pinion gear. Check this distance with the ring gear in
at least three different positions. If the distance is too little, a shim can
be installed inside the starter, which will pull the pinion into the starter an
additional 1/16” (0.062). This will result in additional clearance between
the pinion and the ring gear.
(Figure 2)
*Powermaster recommends no more than one set of
internal shims be installed in a starter.
