Engine breakdown... pt13

Timing chain assembly and cover – I started by removing the crankshaft pulley, wedging the crank with a block of wood and undoing the large bolt.

By removing the remaining bolts I lifted off the cover and started undoing all the bolts holding the gear assembly, chain guides and timing chain tensioner. Using a allen key to remove the jackshaft keep plate I then slipped out the jackshaft.

I dropped some the bits into the ultrasonic clean which does a good job given enough time.

1.5 hrs (I had very cold fingers!)
