Rick,
I think you are missing a semi colon which completely changed the intent of your statement.

"Unlesss you are going to use the "master link" chain that requires splitting the case."

Semi colon between chain and that, says what you mean.

Unlesss you are going to use the "master link" chain; that requires splitting the case.

Hey I'm not a English whiz.
But, I have changed my timing chains. I did use the "master link" type.

Chains stretch, even Porsche chains. Stretched chains wear sprockets and retard cam timing. At least inspect for excessive stretch.

Been working with chains for 40 years.

Master links are not a problem, if you orient the clip with the open end away from the direction of chain travel.

Never re-use clips.

Didn't mean to nit pick.
Have fun,
