All,
Any advice on the following query would be great.
Went to replace the timing and balance chains. With the cam shaft cover off, the timing chain seemed very tight to the sprockets. As per a previous post, I counted 14 links between the sprockets. Turned the crank shaft through 90 degrees several times to see if I could find the slack in the timing chain. No slack evident. Question is - can the balance chain be the source of the problem but the timing chain ok? I had just assumed that the opposite would be true and the timing chain is the source of the noise. Has anyone else found the balance chain to be the issue and not the timing chain? I have not as yet removed the side cover to have a look at the balance chain.
Cheers.
