Instead of jumping on this unpleasant repai, I would measure compression every 5000 miles (buy your own tool) and see whether it does really get worth.
And if you ended up having to disassemble, you might as well replace a valve or two if riding with the stretched chain caused more problems.
CB has slightly less power.
No other symptoms.
It's still quiet and pleasant.

If I manage to buy or fit a proper chain for the CB1100, it wouldn't cost too much while adjusting the valve clearance.
It's good to hear that some people have such high mileage and everything is OK with their timing.
Nevertheless, if someone knows the size of the timing chain, it may be possible to buy it at D.I.D. for the number of links + pin.
