So while hunting, I noticed I had an issue with one of the idler chains. I had to do a bit of bush cleaning and fixing, but replaced them yesterday.. While replacing them I swapped out the original chains to the Tsubaki ones. When I went to reuse the original master link (with the cotter pins) it wouldn't line up for nothing... I mic'd them and the new ones are about 0.018" thicker, so I used a single 60 master link..
Is there an issue with using a master link on these chains, or is there a specific reason for the cotter pin style master?
It's on an '07 Avenger EFI...
