Well, my real question I guess being does anyone know of a kit that has the chain/gears that is just a single chain, but still good quality?

Thinking I'll use this.

Anyone have any bad experiences with this?

N Motion kits are a nice billet single roller.

I think the Cloyes stuff is overpriced and more probe to failures. The little cam dowel likes to fail.

I got the JP Performance Timing set and it looks great and has the right amount of play in the chain. http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...r-set-single-/

N-motion and JP Performance are the same. Not fond of the Rolon chain myself.

I personally will stick with Cloyes.

Heard good things about the JP chain. Personally, I'm going with stock sprockets and a C5R chain.

I've got a Rollmaster Double Gold with IWIS chain, torrington bearing, and heat treated, nitrided sprockets.

It'll work with a stock ported pump clearanced for a double roller.
