    Do i take the risk and but new sprockets and chain and the rest of the bits and hope it does the job?

    Don't appear to be, a few of them might be slightley worn.

    The tensioner has one spring in it. I've looked at it side on and it all looks in like. It skips when its all built up with tensioner on.

    No luck with that. Tried moving cam sprocket to a different keyway to get chain tighter but i had it on best one. Still slipping off the crank. I can't really see it being work sprockets?

    Timing chain

    Yeah thats the one. The chain is sitting on the guide, could it be catching somehow or upsetting the feed onto chain? I presume i just undo the two bolts and move it

    Crank, just as the chain goes onto the flat strip on the right hand side.

    Ok that rules that out. Everything is back on how it was. Could the chain not be tight enough?

    I havent taken it off so it presume it is. Here a though, i had the pully on the tensioner off, could that be on the wrong way round?

    Working on it again tonight. Got it all fitted and was turning the engine over using crank and i noticed that the timing chain was slipping and missing a tooth or two causing the timing to go up crapper. Any ideas why it'd do this? Everything is fitted as it was.
  12. B

    Timing chain

    Yeah it moves along fine. I think it might be stuck between teeth, i've tried pushing the chain tighter to let it bite in but it wont go. Should i just leave it like that?

    Timing chain

    The spring goes on its bolt and the on top of the ratchet and on top of the housing for it on the right ( if that makes sense ). Basically its the same as when i took it off. Teeth look nice and big and sharp

    I see what you are saying james but i have a query. I've got it fitted like that, but if you push the end of mechanism with the sprocket on, then then it compresses and the ratchet does not stop it. From what everyone has said its meant to stop it compressing, or am i just reading it wrong?
  15. B

    Timing chain

    Followed workshop manual guide and set the timing, took me a few goes to do it though! Do you mean hold the ratchet bit on while compressed? Because i've got it all fitted back on, its just the ratchet does not seem to bite onto the bit so it wouldnt ratchet if it needed to.

    It should be the right chain, i took it off the landy a couple of days ago!
  17. B

    Timing chain

    Does anyone have a picture of how the tensioner on the chain fits, i meant the bar with the teeth in it. I presume it has to latch into the little bit on the sprocket end of the tensioner but i cannot make it do it. I just want to check if i'm doing it wrong or if its broken. thanks mat
