Pattern chain kits are just shite, which is why I refuse to fit them. The worst chain kits I have ever seen were 30k miles pattern kits, they had 3mm deep groves worn into them !

Vocky - to save me searching can you just confirm the list of things that are worth changing / need changing at the same time as the cam chain?

 

Cam chain

Balancer chain?

Water pump?

Gaskets?

 

Thanks
