Re: [MBZ] timing chain temp link
I have one from an old chain, back in the days when it was supplied as part of the replacement. I got it from a real old timer, and I am an old timer too. So mine's pretty old. And worn.

Re: [MBZ] timing chain temp link
Order a master clip for an m100 car (p/n 0009970598). It will work just fine. Also, I place many rags in the chain cavity so that if something should fall, it will land on the rag or fall outside of the motor. This is critical to do when grinding/breaking the old chain as well as covering the cam and other open and sensitive areas. Follow the instructions posted on Dieselgiant's web site. That tutorial was photographed at my shop.

The opening of the clip is supposed to be at the back of the chain link, looking at the rotation being CW from the front. Regards, Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 262 K miles 98 ML 320, 141 K miles

MathieuThank you...Thats what I was looking for.

Re: [MBZ] timing chain temp link
Huh, I had no idea anything could be found at Ace that would work in such a particular application. I'll have a look see, Thanks for the tip.
