'im, "Original broke at 79 kmi; I don't trust it; replace it."

4 degrees seems like a lot of stretch. What's the spec?

Any idea what the stretch was on it when it was replaced?
Found this comment on a '93 300D chain failure:

Yep, mine (broke) this past weekend. 1993 300D 2.5 turbo. I actually had
the chain inspected about 3 months ago (4 degrees of stretch). I was
ready to replace it at the time, but my MB diesel specialist talked me
out of it....I must have really pissed someone off in a previous life.
Perfect car except for the toasted engine.
