Cloyes 9-3153A, no torrington bearing? I just got my cloyes 9-3153A, it had no torrington bearing. Some sites say its supposed to have one.
What is correct? Just wanna know before I go to install it tomorrow.
I bought it from sdparts ebay store

I'm using the Katech C5r chain already, I just wanted this timing set to use with it.
But I also wanted to know if the chain is at least as good as the LS2 chain, because I am putting this same timing set in a mild cam only build I am doing for my Dad and I feel the katech chain is an unnecessary expense for his build.
I know it's the older cloyes, so I am not sure if the chain is the same as the new ls2 cloyes. I know cloyes makes the ls2 chain.
FYI, both builds are also using an ATI damper

Got my answer by searching the corresponding comp part number.
No torrington bearing. Not a huge deal I guess.

If you seen the Cloyes extreme duty C5R chain against the LS2 you would not be asking if the C5R chain was as strong as the LS2 chain, more like Damn the LS2 chain is real small against the C5R chain.
I have not seen the Katech C5R chain, but from you asking is it as strong as the LS2 makes me believe it is nothing like the Cloyes extreme duty C5R

Correct. Cloyes has a very good tech support line. They have not only provided me with good information, but the history on the LS2 chain and the IRL chain as well. The Katech C5R chain doesn' look "thick", but the material is different and likely the source of additional strength. I also have correspondence from JWIS on the chain used to make the C5R chain and it is also used in the high end M5 and other high output motors. It is also worht noting that JWIS makes several chains of the same pitch, not all are the same as the chain used to make the C5R chain so just because it is JWIS doesn't mean it is the same chain that Katech used to make the C5R version.

I paid $150 for the katech chain and it said katech on it so it better be the real deal!
It's probably overkill in my setup, but you can't be too safe with parts behind the front cover.
