Timing Components: Testing and Inspection
SPROCKET INSPECTIONWarning:
^ To avoid the possibility of personal injury or damage to the vehicle, do not operate the engine with the hood open until the fan blade has been examined for possible cracks and separation.
Note:
^ Specifications show the expected minimum or maximum condition.
^ If a component fails to meet the specifications, it is necessary to replace or refinish. If the component can be refinished, wear limits are provided as an aid to making a decision. Any component that fails to meet specifications and cannot be refinished must be replaced.
1. Inspect the (A) timing chain/belt and the (B) sprockets.
^ Replace as necessary.
