Larry -
Are you saying that it is possible to crimp the timing chain link without the $200 special swaging press?

Has anyone found a source that'll rent-out the tool?

And lets get this tool registry up and running! I've got tools to lend and repairs that need tools!

In the meantime I'm going to update this thread with the ways that I've fabricated tools instead of buying them
