Timing Chain: Testing and Inspection

CAUTION: After removing timing chain, do not turn crankshaft and camshaft separately, or valves will strike piston heads.
When installing rocker arms, camshafts, chain tensioner, oil seals, or other sliding parts, lubricate contacting surfaces with new engine oil.
Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and seat surfaces when installing, camshaft sprockets, crankshaft pulley, and camshaft brackets.






Inspection After Removal
Check for cracks and excessive wear at roller links. Replace chain if necessary.
