Been thinking about the chain problem and what the best course of action is if and when the time comes with my C180 with about 65K miles at the moment.
Change the chain with an open chain, new link and tensioner or strip the front off and use a closed chain and new guides but by going that far should you change the cam sprockets too. After all that it still leaves the crank sprocket and the chain for the oil pump.
How far to go and when to prevent any damage is the question.
