VR6 time, wanted to change the chains but didnt have any money so took a look at the guides and they seemed fine, and looked up the signle chain engines wear the guides alot slower than the original dual chain OBD1. So decided to keep the chains on along with the original clutch and replace both later on in the year   :undecided:

VR6 money  :grin:
