So, two years after I posted about replacing the timing chain on my mcs, I finally got around to actually doing it!

Not an easy job, and not finished yet, by a long way, but the new chain is fitted and the engine appears to be timed correctly. Haven’t managed to run it yet, as the friction wheel that drives the water pump is broken and I’m waiting on a new one arriving. Hopefully get it running next weekend.


Timing chain looking rather loose.


Camshaft locks installed.


New chain fitted.
