If it doesnt need replacing, why replace it? Just beacuse its an engine rebuild, doesnt mean EVERTHING, needs to be replaced. Obviously if the chain, tensioner and guides were only done 1000kms or so before the engine was pulled for the rebuild. Then yes, there is not particular point in putting in a new ones. But as MOST motors that are pulled out to be rebuilt, have not had the chain done. Then yes it is advisable to do the chain while the engine is being rebuilt. As the 18Rs have a tendancy towards having 'noisy' chains in older motors, the whole $60 to $90 while the engine is out is a hell of a lot easier than trying to replace the chain later in the car.
