• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

timing chain length

Does anyone know the length or link count in a te 610 silent timing chain?
I want to try a different brand of chain.
These factory chains stretch out way to fast.
A good chain should last a lot longer than 6-10.000 miles.

They are 122 links in length.

Husqvarna supposedly used three different DID chains in the 610 engines:
DID SCA0412A SDH
DID SCA0412SV-122
DID SCR0412SV-122

Supposedly, the "SV" marking indicates a special coatings on the pins, which reduces wear.

I ordered a DID SCR0412SV-122. I have found documentation from D.I.D. that shows that the chains that have an "SCR" prefix have a slightly higher average tensile strength than those that have the "SCA" prefix. So that is why I ordered the one I did.

My engine is at about 8000 miles, and the adjuster was at 7 clicks. I had the engine apart for another reason, so I thought it was a good idea to replace it now.

I don't know if any other brands besides Husqvarna (DID) would give any longer life.
 
Your the man.
Thank you a ton for the wealth of information.

I'm curious--is there a way to tell when you remove the old chain which one it is? Is it stamped on the chain links?

My old chain has "04 SDH" stamped on the sideplates. My new chain has "SV" and "SCR" stamped on it.

The "SCR" chain is the same inside width as my old chain: 7.15mm, but it is slightly narrower when measured at the pins: 10.30mm vs. 11.00mm. You can also see a difference in appearance.

The interesting thing is that the old chain "looks" like it is stronger or more heavy-duty. But according to DID the "SCR" chains are slightly stronger.

Time and mileage will tell me whether I made the right choice. I hope so....:)
