Notes:
How to use AST5313:
- Remove the timing chain tensioner and install AST5313 in its place.
- Tighten AST5313 to specified manufacturer torque.
- Rotate the engine at the crank 4 times, watching the plunger of the tool.
- If the plunger drops below or sits flush with the head of the tool at any point during the rotating of the engine, it indicates that the timing chains are excessively stretched and should be replaced, along with associated guides and tensioners.
- If the plunger protrudes from the head of the tool at all times, the timing chain is ok.
- Note: For N14B16 and EP6 Variants with single VVT, the spacer supplied must be used. It is located beneath the head of the tool before installation on the engine.
- Important: Appropriate PPE such as safety goggles, footwear and gloves should be worn when carrying out this procedure
