Hi All,
First off does ANYONE have a good timing chain crimp tool that I can rent?
Haven't had any luck in the tool rental section here. Read in some posts by member Rogviler
that he tried using a cheap ebay crimper for the OM617 chain and it definitely did not work.
So I'm looking for a good brand name tool and don't want to spend $300 for something I'll use once.

Right now I have 6 degrees of stretch and ten years ago I put in an offset
woodruff key when I had the head off so I figure it's past time for a new chain.

I did not keep the original key which I assume had zero degrees of offset?
Anyway I don't see a plain woodruff key to buy listed and I assume I need that for new chain install.
Does anyone have a source for that plain woodruff key?

Was going to use the dieselgiant tutorial for this job. How to Replace Your Timing Chain
Any advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks,
Jeff
