Im fortunate to have caught it when I did...Im really excited now to install the new chain, I can not wait to see the improvement in efficiency. . .

Has anyone has any experiences with the Beck/Arnley timing chain for this model?

Im wondering if it may age less then the Iwis chain, which I understand is OE. These are the only two chains that are made (AFAIK) for the M117.
