I am in the process of getting some parts together to start my Worksman build. I have a #41 chain on the way. I have read that many people dislike using a master link and recommend using a chain breaker to try to get the size close as possible. I think SBP even advises against using a tensioner. I am mounting a 2 stroke china girl type engine using the 41 drive chain.
I think I can size the chain close, but may need to use a half link. What are your thoughts on the half link. Does it pose the same problems as people using a full master link? I can only seem to find a 41 half link that uses a cotter pin to hold the main connecting pin in place. That makes the pin a bit longer to make room for the cotter. Is there a 41 half that uses press in pins? Anyone have input on these questions? Thanks.
