If im just changin chain straight over is it a matter of getting it to top dead center and making sure markings are lined up....remove tensioner and guides and thechain should slip off and new should go on (lined up) ? Ive done it before on a vn Late model camira but that looked allot simpleer then this one hahaAlso....I know ill get people saying buy new etc. But I just want to know if that's the way to change it.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll either have to have a good guess or have a torque wrench that can read quite low as the timing chain guide post is only 6mm iirc. It would be easy to over-tighten and damage if due care isn't taken. The manual outlines what to do anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that's all replaced...uncluding ball joints etc....engine mounds etc. Just have a larg oil leak which I took power steering pump off and its like its comming from where the timming cover meets the head in the corner. So hopefully its not the head gasket haha. I already have all gaskets to do it 28 minutes ago, Puffwagon said: Yep the link works.

I remeber it was only done up very lightly when I took it off spare engine Edited 18/04/18 03:13 AM by jas98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is you car high power? No all the rubber seals and gaskets on the top end of the engine while you have it apart... Why would I say suspension.????

I have replaced practiclly every gasket and oring on engine besides front and rear crank seal...sump and head gasket in the last 70 000ish ks. When I removed the balancer from the spare engine I used a cheap supercheap small 3 claw puller with the arms reversed (had to assemble it as I put arms in balancer...of that makes sence) seemed to work a treat. Saved me buying the dearer tool. Oh and will swap balancers aswell haha as mines the original at 315 000ks. Also its just stock. Owner berfore me is my mate but before him they guy had it tuned to 18psi (not sure for how long) ...then the turbo failed cause of oil starvation. Replaced turbo and kept it stock after that. Before him it was owned by NSW police as a senior sargents unmarked highway patrol car.......so would have had a hard life haha but still goes good for all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget the central bolt. Easy mistake, it goes ALL the way through. Edited 18/04/18 12:55 PM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
