Maintenance Tips of BYD 1279867100 Timing chain for Qin PLUS DM-i/Song PLUS DM-i/Song PRO DM-i/KING DM-i/Chazor DM-i/Seal5 DM-i/Destroyer 05 DM-i
- Firstly, before installing the BYD timing chain (OE# 1279867100) on Qin PLUS DM - i, Song PLUS DM - i and other models, clean the chain drive system thoroughly to prevent debris from causing premature wear.
- Secondly, check the tensioner of the timing chain. A proper tension is crucial for the correct operation of the engine. Incorrect tension may lead to chain noise or even engine misfire.
- Thirdly, align the timing marks precisely. These marks are vital for the accurate synchronization of the camshaft and crankshaft, ensuring the engine runs smoothly.
- Fourthly, lubricate the timing chain with the recommended oil. This reduces friction and extends the service life of the chain.
- Fifthly, inspect the chain guides for wear. Worn guides can cause the chain to derail, so replace them if necessary.
Caution: Ensure the engine is completely off and cooled down before installing the BYD timing chain. Otherwise, it may cause serious burns.
