6. Check the end top point "A" of timing chain cross section
surface and the point of chain elongation indicator which is
fixed in Step 5. When the end top point "A" of timing chain is
positioned at the left-hand side of chain elongation indicator,
it is unnecessary to replace the timing chain because the
timing chain is within the specified length. When the end top
point "A" of timing chain is positioned at the right-hand side
of chain elongation indicator, it is necessary to replace the
timing chain because the timing chain elongates more than
the specified length.
