It seems there are not issues with using one of these with a ATI balancer from speaking with Crane. Do any of you guys know if this will clear the stock timing cover. In other words, will the oil pump hit the stock timing cover when trying to re-assemble after the pump is shimmed out? Thanks.

 

Get a hold of either Roger or Joe Vinci, they install this timing set all the time and would know if there are any issues.

 

Excellent! Thanks.

 

I posted over in your other thread of how to keep the chain from binding or hiting the cover....

yes, the timing chain will clear the stock cover. i have it on the wife's car. don't have a pic with the oil pump on.

 

Thanks for all the help guys. I've decided to just run the comp set on this guys car as I found out the comp set is infinately adjustable plus or minus 6 degrees instead of 2 or 4 degree increments like the crane and other duals are locked into and will better allow us to move the cam around in this instance to gain p/v clearence. Plus, I won't have these potential clearence issues. Thanks a bunch and this is good to know in the future anyway as I will be running one on my motor (probably the crane setup) for sure.

 

um, the crane one i have is adjustable in 1* increments. +/-5*.
