I've just reassembled my 18RGU for my KE35 but have struck a problem. I got a top timing chain that has the exact amount of links in it as the chain I took out, and its slightly shorter because its new and not stretched. Its only about 3 - 4 mm shorter (the old chain wasn't that bad)
My problem is that in attempting to fit up the new chain it is tight to the point where the tensioner wont screw in. The engine has gone back together the same way it was taken apart. I'm not sure whats going on with it at the moment.
Does anybody know how many links there are in the top chain? Or does anyone have a top chain lying around that they could count the links on it for me??
The engine was running great until the oil pump seized and broke the pump shaft. Sean Malony fortunately had a good pump for me. While the engine was apart I did a short motor rebuild - standard specs with a balance (it should still be quite a bit better then the old 4K )
If anyone know feel free to email of call me
Thanks
