Hello. need some advice here.
i have been trying to figure out what shape my timing chain is in (without opening the cover up).
i did the old test of watching to dizzy rotor while turnin the crank with a breaker bar.
i rotated the crank counterclockwise a smidge (back to 0* on the dampener for a reference point). i then rotated the crank clockwise till the rotor started to move. i think doing the counterclockwise rotation first put all the slack in the chain that i could get). sound good?
the dampener had moved one degree when the rotor started moving.
i have no idea if this is good or really bad. please share your thoughts. if you have a better test to do, please let me know and i will do it and let you know what i get.
thanks so much. i hate dealing with the TC, but dont want it to go. (when they go, do they normally slip a tooth or snap altogether? if they slip a tooth, does piston/valve interference occur?). thanks again.
