George, sadly, I think you missed my point. I was not advocating leaving
the damaged teeth alone. I was saying that it is not necessary to file all
the OTHER teeth back to the same width as the repaired damaged teeth.
Running a chain where the tops of the teeth are not all the same will not
produce any of the difficulties you list.
