1. Connect new timing chain and old timing chain with the assembly link, the assembly plate and the assembly locking element, and secure (Fig. 76).
NOTE: Always keep new timing chain meshed with camshaft sprocket.
NOTE: Rotate engine at crankshaft only. DO NOT crank engine and DO NOT rotate engine backward (Fig. 76).
NOTE: Draw out the end of old timing chain evenly as it becomes free, to the same extent that new timing chain is drawn in (Fig. 76).
2. Draw in new timing chain by rotating the crankshaft slowly in direction of rotation of engine until the ends of the new timing chain meet and can
be connected (Fig. 76).
NOTE: Assembly link is only an assembly aid and NOT designed for engine running.
