Members Section Timing Chains Renewing A Timing Chain: See Here On How To Split The Chain

The document provides instructions for renewing a timing chain on a large 2-stroke engine. The timing chains need to be replaced when they have elongated 1% or after 15 years. To change one chain, the chain is slackened and the top cover is removed. The old chain is split and connected to the new chain with a temporary link. As the engine is turned, the old chain is pulled out and the new chain fed in. This process is repeated for the second chain before retensioning. The camshaft may then need retiming as it could have been adjusted for the elongated old chain.

The camshaft chains will have to be replaced when their elongation reaches 1% or after 15 years. The reason for placing a
limit on its elongation is that as the chain gets longer the pitch increases and is not matched to the wheel teeth, and
continued use would result in excessive wear.

The chains are replaced one at a time. This is so that the connected chain can be used to turn the engine whilst the new
chain is pulled round.

To change a chain on a large 2 stroke engine, the chain is slackened off at


the tensioner. The top chain case cover is removed, and one of the chains
is split at the point indicated. see here on how to split the chain.

The new chain is attached to the old chain with a temporary link, and as the
engine is turned, the old chain is pulled out of the engine, the new chain is fed
in.

Once the new chain has been joined, the process is repeated for the second
chain and the chain retensioned.

The camshaft may now have to be retimed as described here, as it may have
been adjusted to compensate for elongation in the old chain.
