the easiest way is to do the weight hanging way and look up the chain specs to match up.

well, its tricky because sprocket wear does not indicate chain wear. you can actually test to see if your sprocket is worn by pulling at a link on the sprocket and if you can pull the pin on the link more than half way up the tooth the sprocket is worn. this only indicates if the sprocket is worn and is not affected by how tight your chain is.

i can never reuse any gasket. i will reuse it if say, i just put it on then took it off real quick and then put it back on. did you know that head bolts have stretch specs and that you are never supposed to reuse the copper washers. stretch specs are also around for main journal cap bolts and connecting rods.
