passed on the number mate, cheers!

Now, are you planning on using the tensioner? Id get rid of it and just buy a new chain, should be able to get it through rollmaster or a whole gearset and replace the lot if youre feeling spendy.

+/-10mm is way too much for my liking, probably find the cam timing is up the s*** too.
