MAN B&W Diesel Checking
1. The engine is equipped with a set of

chains: 1.
• the drive chains for the camshaft
The set of chains is to be checked and, if

necessary, dismantled and mounted in the
same way.
2. The chains can be accessed from within

the chainwheel frame.
3. Carry out the inspection as follows:
• Make a general inspection for loose

bolts and screws.
• Inspect lube oil pipes for damage, and

check jet nozzles for possible stoppag-
es or deformations.
• Examine the rubber track of the guide-

M906010245C01
ways for cracks or other damage.
• Replace the guideway if bits have start-

ed to be “plucked out” of the rubber
track.
4. Check the teeth of the chain wheels. If ab-

normal wear is found, take a measurement 4.
(See Data).
Measurements are best taken by placing a

short straightedge over the straight part
of the chain wheel and then measuring the
distance D0618.

5. If abnormal wear is observed at the bottom

5. of the teeth, make a drawing in scale 1:1 of
the teeth and wear profile.
Draw two rulers on the drawing.
For assessing the wear profile, contact

MAN B&W Diesel.
0 In most cases, scratches caused by the

side plates of the chain will be found on
the sides of the teeth. Such scratches can
generally be considered normal.
Scale 1:1
M906010244C05

6. The chains for the camshaft drive are
0 10 matched together to ensure an even load
distribution.
To keep such matching chains in their

pairs, the side plates of the outer link
nearest to the assembled link have been
marked with year, month, day and chain
number.
Example:
No. 1 order,
840520 1A
840520 1B
(840520 2C, possible 3rd chain)
No. 2 order,
840520 2A
840520 2B
(840520 2C, possible 3rd chain)
On the same links there is an arrow (–>)

which indicates the mounting direction.
Check the chains for cracks on possibly

defective rollers and side plates.
Check that the chain rollers can run freely

and that the chain links can freely move
on the pin and bushing (that they are not
“seized” between the pin and the bushing).
It is normal, however, that the rollers get

light, circumferential scratches during the
runningin period. These fine scratches are
of no importance and need not be consid-
ered.
It is recommended that each single link is

checked.
Page 2 (6) When referring to this page, please quote Procedure M90601 Edition 0245
Chains 906-1.1
7. Check chain wear by measuring the length

of 10 chain links. Use two master squares 7.
and a steel measuring tape as shown on
the sketch. Compare the result with the
value given in Data.
If necessary, adjust the chain tightener.

Dismantling MAN B&W Diesel
It may become necessary to disassemble

1. the chain if, for instance, cracked rollers
or seizures between pin and bushing have
been discovered during the inspection.
See Procedure 9061.1.
Note!
Every time a chain link is disassembled,
a new link must always be fitted as
the link pin pressfit is destroyed when
breaking the chain.
When a new link is fitted in one chain,

the corresponding link in the other chain
must also be renewed.
1. Remove the tension on the chain by loos-

ening the chain tightener.
(See Procedure 9062.3).
M906010245C01
Turn the engine until the slack part of the

chain, with the chain link that is to be dis-
assembled, is in a favourable position for
the work.
2. Mount a wire round the link rollers a short

2. distance from the disassembly point, and
tighten the wire lightly with a tackle.
Protect the link rollers over which the wire

is wrapped.
Note!
If the chain is to be completely removed,

contact MAN B&W Diesel for further in-
formation.
M906010238D02
The riveting of the pins that are to be

pressed out is to be chiselled or ground
away.

3. Place the chain bursting tool over the outer

chain link, and dismantle the link by alter- 3.
nately tightening the screws on the tool.
M906010238D03
906-1.4 Chains
Mounting MAN B&W Diesel
Before assembling the inner and outer

1. links, clean the pins and bushings.
1. Combine the inner chain link with the outer

chain link and mount the compression tool.
Force the loose side plate of the outer

link into place by alternately tightening the
screws on the compression tool.
2. When the link has been assembled, remove

the compression tool and lock the pin ends
by riveting.
M906010238M01
Repeat this procedure until the chain has

been assembled.
Remove the tackle and wire and adjust the

chain tension.
(See Data and Procedure 9062.3).

1. As the upper shell of the camshaft bearing
assembly has been dispensed with on this
engine, it is no longer necessary to meas-
ure the top clearance of the camshaft bear-
ing.
Dismount the inspection covers from the

front of the camshaft housing.
Check for wiped-out metal at the bearing

ends, and for fragments of metal in the
camshaft housing.
In the event of any signs of anomalies, the

bearing shell must be dismantled for closer
investigation and, if necessary, the bearing
shell must be replaced.
GN906-4.1 203 01
If no anomalies are found during the visual
inspection, dismantling need not be carried
out.
When checking the camshaft bearings, it is

recommended also to check the condition
of the fuel and exhaust cams.

1. 1. For assessment of the bearing condition,

see Volume I OPERATION, Chapter 708
‘Bearings’.
Inspect the entire surface of the bearing

journal for seizures.
If seizures are found on the bearing journal

surface (on account of bearing breakdown),
polish the surface with a fine carborundum
stone to re-establish a bright and smooth
surface.
By closely examining the sliding surface of

the bearing shell visually, an impression
can be formed of whether the lubrication of
the bearing surface has been insufficient or
GN906-4.3 203 01
entirely missing. Normally, camshaft bear-

ing damage only occurs due to faulty lubri-
D06-34 cation.
Measure the thickness of the bearing shell

Relieve the hydraulic jack of pressure to

lower the camshaft. Remove the dial gauge,
