Timing sets/chains... Help? Getting ready the last few parts to do my cam swap. Was wanting to see what the consensus was on timing chains/gear sets. Was eyeballing the single-roller N-Motion setup with bearing on the cam gear. Is that a good choice or is it ok to just slap in a new IWIS chain and roll on? Engine has 67K miles on it.

Don't know what your build is but I went with this JP single set from WS6project/ RPM, it was a really nice set for the price.

I have heard of many people just purchasing an LS2 chain and sending it though. I just figured I'd swap em since I was in there.

That's not to aggressive of a set up, LS2 chain probably be fine, for 85 bucks or whatever WS6 store/RPM speed list it for the JP set it was just piece of mind. How many miles on your set up currently? That might help you make the decision. If over 100k or so perhaps consider replacing the set. JP set is adjustable though so make sure you follow the directions provided so you don't advance or retard your timing.

That is the N-Motion one I was wondering about.

The nmotion, jp performance, and slp are all the same.
Use the single row version. They come with the iwis N chain. The rollmaster use the P chain which is the strongest. The gears for all those sets are made by Precision Parts in AU. They also make the powerbond balancers.
The P chain is the strongest IWIS chain.
We also have a private label SA Gear/Engine Pro set that uses a ROLON chain. I like the gear design MUCH more on them and the torrington bearing that comes with them due to the smoothness and quality of it as well as the oil feed channels machined into the rear hub lf the gear that the bearing presses on to. ROLON makes the IRL/Rain chain but most people dont even know what that is anymore. They also make most of the Cloyes chains as well i believe. Great company. Ive used them on my personal builds lately and a few installs. I like em alot. Seem to have less deflection on dry install vs some of the others atm.
Basically the same price also. Nearly the same price also. Single row. They are hard anodized also with a phosphate coating.
We only have them in 1x at the moment so theyll fit anything 24x. The stock photo shows the oil channels in the back also.
Either set is nice though and adjustable.
