Hi,
Got my te450 apart and while waiting for a set of valves to arrive from the States, I'm trying to chase down the timing chain.
I've measured the chain and top sprocket and the pitch is 7.774mm which DID make chain for. But I can't find any cross references on the web anywhere to confirm this. The 219FTS chain in 94 links would the same same as the oem part.
Also my best measurement for the old chain is a roller width of 4.5mm the did chain is 4.59mm - it could be wear or my measuring is out. Also the roller link width is a tad under 5mm but the did chain is 5mm
My other option is to get the SWM 500 timing chain (96 links) and chop the 2 links out of it.
Surely these things are not using a custom size chain?
