I don't think the chains are the problem, its the guides themselves, they aren't made to last.
When i did the head on my old vr years ago, the upper guide was pretty worn out, the chain had no wear on it at all.

^Yeah i agree mate, the top guide that the cam chain tensioner pushes against was totaly worn away, the lower chain guide broke in 4 peices, but my chains where worn out becasue it wouldnt sit on it timing marks proper becasue of to much slop in the chains..

Tomoz is the day i put the old girl back together, got £400 of new parts, a skimmed head, new clutch and gear box cumming soon if i can find one....

Not looking forward to it lol, but 1 bolt at a time and ill get there lol  :grin:
