WTB Oil Pump Chain with masterlink


BGB

Recommended Posts

Was hoping the last Ireland restock was going to utilize a master link but unfortunately not. I still ordered as a back up... Blunt doesn’t have them and I just ordered another one from online that said it had a masterlink but it’s continuous. I’m kinda sick of wasting time on this and just wanna get the right part to get this project done.

 

Do any of you part hoarders have one you will part with?

Why not just get a single roller chain master link ( there are many ones available, google it )   and take one link out of the chain so you can use the master link           Use to do this with the double row chains all the time. Worked with no problems      Just have to find the right master link

 

TThanks, Rick

Well unfortunately you would have to remove the frt cover, and the timing chain as well to replace an oil pump chain unless you already have the engine partially apart.     Replacing just a link allows you to put a new oil pump chain on without removing all that stuff    We did this at the dealership a number of times without any issues      Alfa.s run a link in their timing chains, have been that way forever.   MBenz sells links so you do the timing chain in their 8 cyl cars    I guess it depends on what you are comfortable with and how good you are at doing the job          I personally would not hesitate to do this but that is me

 

Thanks, Rick

Even with the engine on a stand, this is not a small job at all. Multiple covers, worrying about damaging the head gasket, removing and replacing timing chain, working on tensioners, sealing everything back up. The master link chain makes it so easy if you already have the oil pan on. 

 

My sprocket looked good, so I just added one thick shim and changed the o-ring. Slack removed, job done. 

 

I did a line by line look at the entire IWIS catalog, looking for a longer master link chain I could just shorten with a chain breaker, but none of them matched up perfectly.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
