The IWIS Master Link (that you need to rivit) is a different color from the rest of the Chain.

There is no offset Link but there is offset Keys. So it is possible for an old (worn) Chain to look like it is a new one by the degree marks but the offset Key has corrercted it as far as the degrees go.
The only way to know is to loosen the Camshaft Drive Gear enough to view the Woodruff Key.
