Timing chain and gears
At each engine overhaul, check gear teeth and chain rollers for wear. If gear
teeth are badly worn, change both gears and the chain. Hold the chain taut to
take out any slack and measure across 20 links (21 pins).
If any one gear or the chain is worn beyond the specied limit, replace both
gears and the chain as a set.
Timing chain tensioners
Chain tensioners (1) must be replaced when the wear material is worn out.
