Wear
Hold the chain taut with a force of about 49 N (5 kg, 11 lb) in some manner, and measure a 20-link length. Since the chain may wear unevenly, take measurement at several places.

If any measurement exceeds the service limit, replace the chain. Also, replace the camshafts and the crankshaft when the chain is replaced.
