1. Connect the new timing chain (1) and the old timing chain (2) with the assembly link (3) (arrow).

   Do not use an assembly plate and an assembly retainer. While drawing in the new timing chain (1), the assembly retainer can get jammed and jump off at the slide rails.

2. Slowly rotate crankshaft in direction of rotation of engine until the ends of the new timing chain (1) can be connected.

   Always keep new timing chain (1) meshed with the camshaft sprocket. Pull out the free end of the timing chain (4) steadily corresponding with the drawing in of the new timing chain (1).

3. Remove the assembly link (3) and place the old timing chain (2) to the side.

5. Connect both ends of the new timing chain (1) with the new riveted link (5).

While inserting the new riveted link (5) ensure that the center plate (6) is also installed.
