Using this chain guide kit is straightforward. First, make sure your engine is turned off and cooled down. Remove the old stock plastic guides carefully. Then, install the new billet aluminum guides in their place, ensuring a proper fit. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the replaceable wear strips. If they show significant wear, replace them promptly. Keep the guides clean to prevent dirt and debris from affecting their performance. Also, avoid over - revving the engine when the kit is newly installed to allow it to settle in properly.
