Is that a '35' chain I'm looking at? Is it important to mark anything prior to breaking the chain?

It's a clutch drive chain and ya don't ever cut/break it. ........lm

Sorry, I was not clear. I'm removing the top half due to stuck pistons. Looking for the masterlink to remove the cam chain and found it above the oil pump as you suggested. I see no way to remove the link at that spot as I will run into the side of the sprocket. I see no other options other than to break the chain at the top to remove the top half. Wondering if it is important to mark anything prior to breaking it and if it's a '35' chain that I will easily find a new link to re-connect.

All the HONDA data I have shows the last 1963 CA77E number as CA77E-314731.
Ya say ya have 316120?
A pic would be nice. .............lm

I was surprised by this and had to double check the serial number on my engine, it's CA77E-318291. It's also in a CA78 frame (CA78-313246.) I wonder if that has something to do with it?
