Yeeeep, over 40yrs trade life this end and boy have I seen some wild stuff. By now you would be over it re lost time and stress wise. Yet this stuff neeeevvveeerrr leaves ones memory.😉🙂👍👍

[@austenpowersobehave]

ahhh that sux . Thanks for the heads up

[@gauge-vx4wq]

Well done mate . You're pretty good 👍

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

not really but thanks.

[@craigcoffey3601]

That sounds really good, unlike mine, I think I will need to replace the chain and guides before it snaps, @410k now and sounds like chain slapping at idle 😢 great vid love that you speak like a mechanic/engineer and not some pc wanker 😎🤣👍cheers

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Hahahaahha. Love that ... i can only be me.

[@DanWallis86]

Awesome find thanks for putting in the hard yards.

Does pajero 2003 3.2 diesel have timing chain or timing belt

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Chain check the front of the engine for any plastic covers ? im sure they are chain.

[@davecarter34]

Whats rebuild like this cost, theres one locally for sale with a snapped chain

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

sorry mate don't talk about price as things change

[@gerard4449]

Thanks Phil for another great video. Helped me out for the timing marks.

Awesome video, great information

[@bigfella6629]

Hey Phil...Is it just bad luck the chain snapped or is there a service interval where the chain needs replacing and it wasn't done ?

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

no i don't think there is an interval . i would say it would have been very noisy and no one did anything about it, it also had an aftermarket Tune kit fitted to it.

[@27walker27]

i would say its worth changing at around 80k based on mine, i changed my chain and guides at 80k after a missing top guide. but the other 2 big guides both had cracks in and another bottom guide had been completely worn away and the chain had chewed 90% of the way through the metal part of it too

[@jotk5978]

@@27walker27 how much did that cost? Thanks

[@27walker27]

@@jotk5978 I did it myself….don’t think I’d fancy doing it again haha, it was a big job and I would imagine it won’t be cheap, I think Mitsubishi quoted about 14 hours/£1200 if I remember right, that was a few years back, and it sounded like non of their mechanics had done one before

[@jackcurrie8270]

Can the tone wheel be purchased separately ? Chain took out the tone wheel teeth

[@gregorystroud6119]

Hi there. i have just replaced the cyl head, old one cracked between inlet and exhaust valve seat, and I find the cam timing chain too tight in my estimation. The tensioner pin does not move out enough to engage the pawl in a serration. My worry is a snapped chain if I go further. The chain is not riding up on either of the guides, and when removing the cam sprockets during disassembly, I ran a zip tie through the dowel hole to maintain cam sprocket to chain correctness. I'm stumped.

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

Pull the front timing case off

[@danssv8]

How many kilometres has it done when it through the chain.

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

cant remember sorry

[@ajai01niner19]

That's a smooth-sounding engine.

[@scottjuice9710]

So it possible the cause was the worn upper chain guide?

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

if your thinking of just replacing that . Don't replace the lot.

[@ajai01niner19]

Hi Phil. G'day. I wonder if you're familiar with a ticking sound from a 4M41 when the engine is hot? any ideas what that may be? Is it the timing chain streching?

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

could well be .?

[@scottjuice9710]

You need change timing guide. Possibly the chain tensioner also.

Did the Top Chain guide cause the chain to snap? Thanks!

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

I wouldn't Know Sorry, There was that much free play with all the guide and chain worn, i know the chain caught one of the guides behind the timing case.

[@27walker27]

@@PTPrecisionAutomotive interesting.... i changed my chain because of the missing top guide and when i stripped it i found the chain had actualy eaten through most of the metal on the bottom small guide. was there any nylon guide left or just metal? i wonder if its these bottom guides than are more the factor for snapping chains than the infamous top one that everyone thinks is the only issue

[@PTPrecisionAutomotive]

@@27walker27 Yeah it was not the fault of the top guide, it was the one down on the left side. Just all worn out.
