DITTO HERE. If you want some added insurance, put in the new master
with the center link, roll it to the edge of the cam sprocket and
then put a wrap or two of plain masking tape around it. Even if the
masking tape fell off in the chaincase, it would not cause harm.
Option two, which I like

It could also have something to do with the EGR.

Update. We successfully changed the timing chain. We left the banana rail
alone, we changed the upper left slide rail and the tensioner. We didn't prime
the tensioner. Drove the car and all is well. Fred's tool for removing the
guide pin worked like a charm. I also ended up borrowing a service l
Correct - I never had to remove the crank pulley to replace the banana rail.

Yes, submerge in engine oil, compress and release until no more air comes out
and the force required to compress is very high. BBB procedure calls for using
an arbor press or drill press (but no drilling, just compressing).

Will try that. Also does the tensioner have to be primed?

Procedure 05-330 covers, looks like you can rotate crank so that a recess in
the pulley/balancer assembly allows access to extract the pin which anchors the
bottom of the rail.

Ok, I borrowed one with a link from a friend. Now, I'm trying to get the large
banana guide rail out by I'm not sure if the crank pulley has to come off for
access. Does anyone know? It has grooves around 0.5-1 mm deep. Is it worth
changing?

If I had a master link with a clip on it, I'd use that to link the two chains
together. Does the original have a master?

You don't peen the new chain to the old. I used the new link, but not the
plate, and it stayed in place just fine on the two chains I've done. Did both
solo.

I'm finally replacing the timing chain on my 240D tomorrow. The chain came with
a master link which is not a split link. When I attach the new chain to the old
and peen on the link, turn the chain, then don't I have to grind off new link
