Double Roller Timing Chain Who makes the best adjustable timing chain? Do the double rollers make more noise over a single chain? Would there be an increase in rotational mass and a SLIGHT decrease in performance with a double roller? I know it couldn't be significant, just curious.
no one makes a gear drive for the ls1....not to mention they are really loud...only advantage is that they won't break or stretch over time...however you get slightly more power loss...so unless you are making thousands of hp you don't need it...

Very good point...I had never thought about that, but it makes sense since gear "clunk" could create false knock.
