ï‚· Remove the cable retainer. Pull out the existing timing chain whilst ensuring permanent
contact between chain and chain wheel. Turn the engine clockwise in flight direction (as
shown in Figure 85 - 107) and feed in the new chain. The chain shall be pulled beyond
the guiding tool.
Before turning the engine, remove the cover from the chain slot.
Do not turn engine in reverse direction while pulling in the new chain.
ï‚· Turn engine until the new chain is almost completely fed in. Stop turning when
approximately two or three links are left outside the down holder. Fasten the replacing
chain on the chain wheel with a cable retainer, about two links from the connection link.
Fig. 85 - 107 Thread in the new timing chain
ï‚· Remove the chain coupling (AEP-00160). The chain coupling from the tool set must not
remain in the engine. The part is not capable for engine operation
Make sure that the chain slot is closed or covered with a rag or similar
to prevent debris inside the engine.
ï‚· The remaining free ends of the new chain have to be connected with the open chain link
(as part of E4A-75-100-000-000). Push the link with its pins in each free end of the chain.
If there is too much tension on the chain, you can ease that tension with small
movements on the prop in both directions. Push the link in coming from the camshaft
side (see Figure 85 – 108).).
