Rollmaster Double timing chain broke!
Just found out what was wrong with my car. The Rollmaster timing chain busted. The only way I think this would happen is with a defective chain. I guess now I will see what kink of damage was done. Has this happen to anyone? This is the old thread:https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/280345-help-motor-kinda-long.html

I have heard of all timing chains breaking. Thats why I reused my old one when I swapped cams. Its scary. Its bad enough to waste money on a part that breaks but when it takes out other things its bullshit.

The GM LS2 chain I ordered says made in France. Looks like a bicycle chain, almost afraid to put it on. According to others, the LS2 timing chain is stronger than the stock LS1, I dunno!

Yes, always use loc-tite on the cam bolts.
Guys, with Roll masters, I would NOT worry! I ran one of these with a solid roller high lift cam which put a hell of alot of pressure one the chain, and NOO problems. I am gonna bet this is an install problem/piston to valve issue.

I've run single chains with no problems on any of the cars we've built.My personal Firehawk ran a single JWIS chain for over 150 1/4 passes with a .600 lift Cam.
