Removal Procedure
1. Pull out the tensioning lever (8) together with the
spring (6) and guide rail (3) far enough until the ten-
sioning lever has moved passed the oil pump chain
(4) and is resting against the crankshaft (5)
2. Pull the tensioning lever (8) off the bearing pin (2)
and carefully remove the spring (6). Remove the
tensioning lever (8) together with the spring (6) and
bushing (7).
3. Remove the guide rail (3).
Installation Procedure
1. Install the guide rail (3). Attach the spring (6) to the
guide rail and to the tensioning lever (8).
Notice
Ensure that the spring is correctly located in the
guide rail (arrow).
2. Push the guide rail, spring, bushing and tensioning
lever together onto the bearing pin (1, 2).

Installation Procedure
1. Put the same alignment mark on the new crankshaft
sprocket as in the old sprocket.
Notice
Check the timing chain, camshaft sprocket, injection
pump timing sprocket, oil pump chain and oil pump
sprocket for wear and replace if necessary.
2. Install the new crankshaft sprocket (12) by using a
drift (21).
Notice
Align the groove of sprocket and woodruff key (ar-
row) exactly.

Notice
If the max. length ’L’ of the stretch bolt exceeds
53.6mm, replace it.
5. Fit the oil pump chain (9) on the crankshaft sprocket
(12) and insert the oil pump sprocket (8) into the oil
pump chain and then install it on the oil pump.
Notice
The curved side of the oil pump sprocket should
face the oil pump.
6. Insert the woodruff key (15).

Notice
There are two kinds of connecting rods (for machining) and they are different in weight approx. 15g. When replac-
ing the connecting rod, measure its weight and ensure that a engine has the same weight of connecting rods. If
not, there would be a unbalancing of engine.
