In fact the following picture from the DieselGiant site with the how to change the timing chain comes after he has "crimped" the link, allegedly showing what it looks like after crimping (How to Replace Your Timing Chain)



Sorry, that link is not crimped!
So, DieselGiant did not use the crimper correctly and posted a photo showing a "crimped link" when in fact it was not crimped? I wonder how many engines were ruined as a result?

Someone should contact him so that he can correct the tutorial.
