Apparently there have been a number of failures of the clip type link in past years. Now, Mercedes specifically prohibits the use of the clip link for anything except to roll the new chain in. They only sell the rivet link with TWO pressed plates (not just one like in OEM/aftermarket chain kit). Given that a rebuilt OM603 engine is in the $8k range, I think it's wise to use the MB-specified link. Just my $0.02...
