installing double roller timing chain...what is this piece? in the process of installing the rollmaster double roller for my lq4 build. looking online from other places and instructions as well as the pics show the piece circled below isnt used at all? whats that piece called?
even the instructions doesnt really say to install that piece but only the black timing gear sprocket.

think i set the timing incorrectly. if so how do i set the cam dot with the crank sprocket if the rollmaster sprocket doesnt have any dots but an upper and lower timing number value instead? i used the zero value on the outer as the "dot"

The part you asked about drives the oil pump. It is rather important. It slides on after the gear.
On the bottom gear, to go dot to dot, you use the 0 keyway on the crank key. The dot on the cam gear will align with the 0 on the gear teeth.
You will have #1 piston at TDC, the dot on the cam gear pointing down at the bottom by the crank gear.
Are the heads off?
Are you going to degree the cam?

thx guys my buddy also said its for the oil pump....ooops...lol....i got the cam dot and the crank sprocket lined up correctly after all as my buddy came by and double checked. not going to fool around with the cam degree timing. the heads are off right now yes and plan to installing them tueday along with a ported oil pump.
