From memory, I think that's the way I did the chain replacement on my first SC, at the same time I changed all the chain guides/ramps, and fitted Hydraulic tensioners too, years ago now.

I'm in the process of putting my 1979 911SC Engine back together. I didn't split the case and the engine is currently on the stand with only the P&Cs in place. Heads and Cam Boxes haven't been installed.

I'm wondering why I can't just leave the chain ramps in place, break the original chain, attach the new chain to it and just rotate the crankshaft to feed the new chain on, then once it's through, detach the old chain and "close" the new chain with the master link.

I'm sure I'm missing something, hoping for some advice. |
