Inspect
Timing Chains
1 Inspect the primary and/or secondary timing chains
for the following:
• binding or worn rollers (1),
• loose links (2), and
• loose pins (3).
2 Replace a damaged timing chain as required.
Figure 6A1 – 130
Camshaft Intermediate Sprockets
Figure 6A1 – 131
1 Inspect the camshaft intermediate sprockets for the following:
• Damage to the primary and secondary timing chai n sprocket (1), refer to Figure 6A1 – 129.
• Damage to the hub bearing (2). Ensure the hub bearing sp ins freely. If the hub bearing wobbles, is noisy or
feels rough when rotated replace t he camshaft intermediate sprocket, and
• Damage to the bolt flange seating / sealing surface (3).
• Damage to the bearing hub-to-engi ne block sealing surface.
Inlet and Exhaust Camshaft Sprocket
Inspect the camshaft sprocket assemblies, refer to 3.18 Camshaft Sprocket .

Crankshaft Sprocket
1 Inspect the crankshaft sprocket for the following:
• sprocket damage (1),
• bore damage (2),
• keyway damage (3), and
• damage to the cushion material (4).
2 Replace a damaged sprocket as required.
Figure 6A1 – 132
Primary Timing Chain Upper Guide
1 Inspect the primary timing chain upper guide for the following:
• worn guide surface (1),
• cracked or broken guide surface (2), and
• cracked or damaged guide base (3).
2 Replace a damaged guide as required.
Figure 6A1 – 133
Primary Timing Chain Lower Guide
1 Inspect the primary timing chain lower guide for the following:
• worn guide surface (1),
• cracked or broken guide surface (2), and
• cracked or damaged guide base (3).
2 Replace the primary timing chain lower guide by replacing the oil pump assembly, refer to
