I didn't think so either. But I borrowed a Timing Kit from work to check out the guides and that as i"m having trouble with my tensioner and that. Pulled out the chain and saw this. It's a Nason one, genuine chains might not have them, I dunno.

do you intend on rotating it by hand or something.
to do it your way you'd need two people,one to rotate the motor the other to make sure the chain don't slip.

yeah i like the principal of the idea but never heard or seen it done,,i suppose there is no reason why it wont work so long as it is kept tight while rotating the engine.
i rekon you could be on a winner with the idea,,so long as your confident enough to do it i say go for it.

The timing chain tensioner isn't tensioning the chain enough and so it is hitting the chain guide on the passenger side. But if I use a big screw driver and 'help' tensioner the chain by pushing on the back of the drivers side chain guide (the one that the tensioner pushes) it stops hitting the passengers side one. And yes, the tensioner is definately set right, it seems the chain may be stretched (at 650,000km's it might still be the original one!?!). We found that assembling the tensioner with the tensioner already sprung and so it is hard into possition (i.e. doesn't have the 1-2mm of leeway that the spring provides) solves the problem, but this might be putting too much tension on the chain. |
