I believe that just because a chain is "made in Germany" does not mean that it is necessarily a high quality chain. It's certainly a good indication. I am curious if there are any first hand experiences with breakage of ANY aftermarket, single row chain.

Have a great day,

This may be true for some engines (diesels), but why is this the recommended procedure in the M116 and M117 shop manuals?
