    Worst case scenario the chain will break and pile into the cases and possibly destroy the motor. What will likely happen is you'll stretch the chain, which will ruin it, and rapidly damage (hook tip) any sprocket it touches afterwards.

    Kiding?

    It will destroy both the countershaft bearing and the carrier bearing.

    Please wait for the right chain or extra link etc etc.......

    I can't WAIT for someone to come up with a way to stretch the chain
