Fellas,
I was hoping you could help me out with a few items:
#1 My mechanic fed the new timing chain through the engine by having it follow the old one. My understanding is that this is standard procedure to install a new timing chain. He is saying that the new timing chain is longer than the old timing chain. Can this be possible? Are there links that have to be removed from the new chain in order to make it fit? I purchased the chain from Fastlane last year in 2011 and I'm sure this is the correct part.

#2 I remember a DIY link with pictures and a description of timing chain replacement for the 606. Can someone direct me to this thread? I've been searching and can't find it.

Thank you,
