Abstract

A method is disclosed for replacing, in an engine block, a timing belt, preferably a wet timing belt, with a timing chain. The method comprises removing the timing belt from the engine block, and replacing a plurality of timing belt pulleys with a plurality of timing chain sprockets. The method also comprises mounting the timing chain around the plurality of timing chain sprockets, and mounting a chain tensioner guide in the engine block. The method also comprises mounting a hydraulic tensioning device in the engine block. The mounted hydraulic tensioning device is configured to apply a force on the mounted chain tensioner guide for tensioning the mounted timing chain. The method further comprises replacing a timing belt cover with a timing chain cover. The timing chain cover comprises an oil inlet for allowing oil to pass through the timing chain cover and reach the hydraulic tensioning device for actuating the hydraulic tensioning device. The method also comprises fluidly connecting the oil inlet to a source of pressurized oil.
