How to tell if you are overcarbing an engine?

Which one would be good to get? Are they expensive?

I like this one, its affordable for it's quality and I've run them for years and literally over 200,000 miles on daily drivers... It's a true roller double roller, one step above the stock 340 chain... I checked one once at 125,000 miles and it didn't need to be replaced....
