π₯ another one brought back from the dead none runner to runner π₯
Another DV5 in for the upgraded 8mm timing chain kit π§
This one came in after the original 7mm chain had snapped β exactly why weβre seeing more and more of these engines coming through with chain-related failures.
π₯ 7mm chain snapped
β‘οΈ Engine stripped down
β‘οΈ 7mm setup removed
β‘οΈ Upgraded 8mm chain kit fitted
β‘οΈ Correctly timed and checked over before going back into service
β οΈ If youβve got a DV5, donβt wait until the chain snaps. A timing chain failure can turn a preventative repair into a seriously expensive engine repair.
If youβre unsure whether your DV5 has the 7mm or 8mm setup, get in touch and we can advise you.
