ASP pulley wont work with "Double Roller Timing Chain"? i have an ASP underdrive pulley
someone told me it has to be machined to work with a dual timing chain (???)
and that if i get a monster cam (i will)
i will need this double chain.
do you guys know what he is talking about?
do i return the pulley?
do i have it installed for $75?
can i "machine" it myself? (should i?)
do i send it back and have ASP machine it?

the older ASP pullies, the "snout" is cut to fit the double roller. If you have a lathe, you could take some material off. But if you have a newer one, then it will go on just fine
Depending how old your pulley is, it may need to be machined. But if you recently bought it, it should be the newer version - then your fine.
Find out first which pulley you have then go from there.

it looks like neither,
but closer to the one on the left than the right
the trans place lets me use their lathe
thanks!
EDIT- btw.. will i NEED a double chain for a G5x3-4 and maybe heads?
how would it be better?
thanks guys

A double roller is a good idea, definitlely the safest way to go. However it is not needed, the ls2 chain is a lot beffier chain then the stocker and will work perfect. Its also only 25 bucks or something like that...I am runnin one as well. But definitely switch chains cause the stocker has been known to fail, however its not common for that to happen.

i just installed a double roller on my car..and have an asp pulley, not sure when i got it? maybe a year and a half ago, Everything installed no problems and tightened down, no problems as of yet. What happens if you have the wrong pulley?
