A new cam chain is required for my 2011 GS. Only covered 43,000 miles but the rattling has got the better of me these last 2 months.

So, parts bought. everything is ready to go but...….. Cam chain is endless and can only be fitted if the engine block is split to facilitate fitting of said cam chain.


My mechanic has suggested to me that you can buy a manual cam chain tensioner? And then leave the original in place. So all I need to find is the said chain tensioner and all will be well. would someone mind pointing me in the direction of one, please, as so far I cant find one!

Many thanks in advance oh wise ones
 
As far as replacing a so called endless camchain you can replace it with a joinable one. JJH
 
There is a thread over on advrider that explains the process and has details of the chain and link. There is also a video on YouTube. If it were me I would also look at what folks have said about replacing the tensioner (with a new BMW part rather than a manual one) before diving in to replace the chain.
