Thanks, Quadcammer. I honestly don't know for sure whether I have a 5-chain or 3-chain. My car is a 2002 base and the donor car is a 2003. All I know from the catalog is that the 2002 has the M96.22 engine and the 2003 has the M96.23.

Do you by chance know which year they went from 5 chains to 3?

The year is 2003. So the engine you want to swap (3 chain) needs the ME 7.8 engine managment system, which is different from yours.
