I know this was probably discussed before, but the search automatically deletes words like "did" and "cam", so it's really hard to find...
Anyway, I'm about to change the tensioner on mine for the new model (original tensioner with over 62.000km), so I was wondering wich chain model fits our engines? I'm not splitting the cases so I need the open type chain, that's why I won't go for the original Honda... unless this one can be opened?

Thanks!

 

DID SCA 0412A sdh comes with 152 link pins so you remove two pins and fit the link (which comes with it.
I have a brand new one in my bar at the moment Daniel - I can post it to you for what it cost me, and postage if you like !

Cost was I think $75 and postage will be about $10 0r $15.

Let me know if you need it.

Salud,Daniel !

 

Hey, thanks for the offer Pete!
Now that you mentioned, Classic, I was just talking to my mechanic and he told me it's better to open the Honda chain than to use a replacement brand. He has the tool, so I guess I can't go wrong with the OEM chain.

Anyway, thanks for the help Pete, I'm going to write that down just in case in the future I can't get a hold of the original chain.

 

Are you guys talking about a cam chain with a quick link (snap type).
If you are, it is very important to mention that the link needs to be installed in the direction of the chain travel with the open end of the clip trailing.

 

No open end on a DID chain - has to be peend over.
I wouldn't fit one with a clip - Nnnnnooooooo !!!
But exactly right for chains that do have them
Good tip TBT - Noddy badge for the week !

 

The next tip is, do not over peen the pins. The ends will crack and weaken.
Also over peening will cause a tight master link.

I didn't think you were talking about a clip type CC but it almost sounded that way.
