2. INSPECT CHAIN SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Using a vernier caliper, measure the length of the 16
links with the chain fully stretched.
Maximum chain elongation:
122.6 mm (4.827 in.)
If the chain elongation is greater than the maximum,
replace the chain sub-assembly.
HINT:
Take the measurements at 3 or more places
selected at random.
3. INSPECT NO. 2 CHAIN SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Using a vernier caliper, measure the length of the 8
links with the chain fully stretched.
Maximum chain elongation:
52.4 mm (2.063 in.)
If the chain elongation is greater than the maximum,
replace the No. 2 chain sub-assembly.
HINT:
Take the measurements at 3 or more places
selected at random.
4. INSPECT CHAIN TENSIONER SLIPPER
(a) Using a vernier caliper, measure the tensioner
slipper wear.
Maximum wear:
1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
If the wear is greater than the maximum, replace the
chain tensioner slipper.
5. INSPECT NO. 1 CHAIN VIBRATION DAMPER
(a) Using a vernier caliper, measure the vibration
damper wear.
Maximum wear:
1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
If the wear is greater than the maximum, replace the
No. 1 chain vibration damper.
6. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT TIMING SPROCKET
