Default Timing chain question

Im looking for a good and somewhat cheap adjustable single roller timing chain. I would like something that will last and will not stretch in a couple thousand miles. My question is what would I want...Rollmaster, Nmotion, or Cloyes? I did a search but I kept getting a mix of double vs single roller. Thanks

I personally like the Cloyes.

We have run a LOT of the N-motion and Rollmaster without a problem. Either one of their single roller chains should work great for you. Let me know if you need on and we'll get you fixed up!

I think you might have a problem finding what you want using "good" and "cheap" together.

If you want a good single chain then be prepaired to pay, they are not cheap.

But then again you can always go with the LS2 chain. Thye are cheap for the quality.

Texas-Speed has many good timing chain setups at good prices. The LS2 chain would be a good piece to use.

If you have the time, install the cam with the LS2 chain. Then degree the cam. You may find you don't need an adjustable set. Then if you do, you can get one and re-install.
