How to align the timing chain of Dongfeng Lingzhi?
1 Answers
Align the timing chain of Dongfeng Lingzhi with the timing marks of the camshaft and crankshaft chain. Align the crankshaft sprocket with timing marks to the timing mark at the bottom of the timing chain damper plate. Align the centerline of the positioning hole on the camshaft sprocket with the timing mark at the bottom of the timing chain damper plate. Here are the specific details about the timing chain: 1. Function: The main function of the timing chain is to drive the valve train inside the engine, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open or close at the appropriate times, allowing the cylinders to properly intake and exhaust air. More and more automotive engines are choosing to use timing chain systems. 2. Advantages: Timing chains offer advantages such as compact structure, high power transmission efficiency, and maintenance-free operation, overcoming some performance shortcomings of gear and belt drives. The functions of timing chains and timing belts are essentially the same, but their working principles differ slightly. Compared to timing chains, timing belts have a simpler structure, are easier to install, and have lower manufacturing costs. However, as the engine operating hours increase, belts are prone to wear and aging, requiring regular replacement.
