1. Remove the valve body cover.
2. Push the slack strand (bottom strand) of the drive link until all slack is removed at the following locations:

•	Midway between the sprockets

•	At right angles to the drive link

3. Use a crayon to mark on the bottom side of the drive link.
4. Push up in the same manner and put a second mark on the case.
5. Ensure that both marks are made from the point on the drive link.



6. Measure the distance between the two marks.
7. Replace the drive link if the distance exceeds 22.2 mm (7/8 in).
8. Ensure that the three machined surfaces are flush with the machined surface of the case. The drive link measurement will be inaccurate if the surfaces are not flush.
