Inspect the chain. If it can be moved back and forth in excess of 16 mm (5/8-inch) make a note that the timing chain should be replaced during
assembly.
-
Inspect sprockets for chipped teeth and wear.

Inspect timing chain for damage.

It should be noted that excessively worn sprockets will rapidly wear a new chain. Likewise, an excessively worn chain will rapidly wear a new
set of sprockets.
