I used this technique on an old '81 Honda CB250 many years ago and it worked like a charm. It's been a very long time since I did that job and I remember little to none of exactly what I did.
I suspect the new camchain was designed to be rivetted in place after being looped over the crank and camshafts. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have split an endless chain.
