<p>Protected &quot;<a href="/index.php?title=Balance_shaft_chain_adjustment" class="mw-redirect" title="Balance shaft chain adjustment">Balance shaft chain adjustment</a>&quot; [edit=sysop:move=sysop]</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Most [[1g_Astron_II|First Generation Astron II&#039;s]] built before 1990 require that their balance shaft chain tension is checked and adjusted every 20,000 Km. The procedure can also be performed on newer Astron II&#039;s with self-adjusting chains, but the cause of the tension loss should be investigated beforehand.<br /> <br /> [[Image: Astron chain access.jpg |right|thumb|200px|Figure 1: Location of the cover plate]]<br /> [[Image: Chain adjust open.jpg |right|thumb|200px|Figure 2: View of the balance shaft adjusting bolt and guide with cover removed]]<br /> The procedure for adjusting the balance shaft chain is:<br /> *1. Remove the adjustment cover plate (see figure 1). This is done by removing the two bolts from either end.<br /> *2. Loosen the chain guide bolt so that you can push the chain guide. Do not completely remove it, otherwise you could drop the chain guide (see figure 2).<br /> *3. Push the chain guide downwards using the lump just above the bolt with your fingers. Do not use a screwdriver or other implement as you will not be able to gauge the tension. Push down until it feels firm.<br /> *4. While holding the chain guide in place, tighten the chain guide bolt.<br /> *5. Clean the cover plate and the mating surface on the timing cover. Run a little RTV Sealant around the raised edge inside the coverplate.<br /> *6. Reinstall the coverplate<br /> <br /> [[Category: First Generation Workshop]]<br /> [[Category: Second Generation Workshop]]</div>
