About the R107 and C107, Wikipedia states, "The 380SL/C engine came with a single row timing chain from 1981 through 1983. These early 380 models were plagued with chain failure problems and the problem was corrected by Mercedes-Benz, free of charge. Some models, however, escaped retrofit and may at some point fail as a result." Does anyone know how extensive of a recall this was back in the day? Seems like every R107/C107 owner would have taken advantage of this.

I don't know the answer to your question? Are you asking to determine if yours is a single row chain? I do recall seeing them back in the day, interestingly euro's were double row....Autobahn driving prevention???
The single rows broke often at low mileage e.g. 30-40k.
