8. Remove the old oil from the timing chain tensioner.
9. Inspect the timing chain tensioner for scoring or free movement.
10. Inspect the timing chain washer and O-ring for damage. If damaged, replace the timing chain tensioner.
11. Measure the timing chain tensioner assembly from end to end. A NEW tensioner should be supplied in the fully compressed non-active state. A
tensioner in the compressed state will measure 72 mm (2.83 in) from end to end (a). A tensioner in the active state will measure 85 mm (3.35 in)
from end to end (a).
12. If the timing chain tensioner is not in the compressed state, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the piston assembly from the body of the timing chain tensioner by pulling it out.
2. Install the J 45027-2 (2) into a vise.
3. Install the notch end of the piston assembly into the J 45027-2 (2).
4. Using the J 45027-1 (1), turn the ratchet cylinder into the piston.
