What are the symptoms of a faulty timing chain in a Magotan?
1 Answers
A faulty timing chain can cause abnormal engine noises, increased fuel consumption, higher oil consumption, failure to start the car, insufficient power, and severe exhaust emissions. How to check the timing chain: 1. Use a spring scale to measure the elongation of the chain at three or more points. If it exceeds the permissible length, it should be replaced promptly. 2. Use a vernier caliper to monitor the thickness of the tensioner and the chain damper. If they exceed the wear limit, they should be replaced immediately. 3. Inspect the timing chain for elongation, wear, or breakage. If there is even minor damage, it should not be used further.
