How to Replace timing chain on Peugeot 308 1.6 THP 2007-2010

. the above link yes its for peugeot but same engine, also when locking off crankshaft remove spark plugs from 1 and 2 cylinders i use two same length metal 8mm rods 300mm long to help find the crank locking point, as its not at tdc its 90 degrees off ie all piston with be equal point of travel in bores. also very important the crank shaft when locked correctly will not travel in either direction,, it is possible to find a false locking point that locks one direction only, if you set timing at this point and try to start it end of valves etc,, also you must change the hole lot vvt sprockets bottom sprocket and oil pump chain and sprocket, drop sump and clean it out with erg cleaner works a treat.
