Default Crane timing chain....

Crane now makes a double roller timing chain. Here it is over at Jegs (not the pic):

Which chain are they using???

JWIS or Rollon????

The Ford stuff I've seen from Crane have been using a "Rollon" chain and it is in no way the same quality as the JWIS chain that the "red label" Rollmasters use.
