Replacement Procedure
1. Cover over the chain box with cleaning rag and grind offboth chain pins (arrow) at a chain link (1) of the timing chain.
2. Remove the outer plate (4) and chain link (1). Notice Ensure that the ends of the timing chain do not drop into the chain box.
3. Loosen the chain tension with approx. 4 turns.
4. Connect the new timing chain (arrow) with chain link (1) to the old timing chain (2).

1B3-150 OM600 ENGINE MECHANICALIn this position, the marking on camshaft / camshaft bearing cap (arrow) must also be aligned. If the markings are notaligned, the timing chain must be re-set and the injectionpump timing has to be set.
14. Position the no.1 cylinder at TDC.
11. Place the fitting tool (8) onto the chain link and rivet thechain pins one by one.
12. Check the riveting of chain pins and re-rivet if necessary.
13. Remove the wire.
