the sprockets (in place of the old timing chain) while removing the old chain at the same time.
! IMPORTANT!
Do not rotate engine backwards. Apply pulling tension on old timing chain while feeding in new timing chain to ensure new timing chain properly
engages all sprockets. Retainers (602 589 01 40 00 and 604 589 00 40 00) prevent the timing chain from jumping from cam sprocket, thus
eliminating the assistance of a second technician when feeding in the timing chain.
