Default Any thoughts on the SLP double roller timing chain?

Thinking about getting one with the new motor buildup, any reason that I shouldn't? I kinda like the double roller idea since I may end up with a solid roller with enormous spring pressures one of these days <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

I have read you have to apply shims by the oil pump to get it to fit properly <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I've got one and have ordered another, for my next engine. The stock unit is pretty lame for a decent valve train....

it is a rollmaster, yes. but be careful when shopping around - most are selling the cheapy one, SLP is selling the NITRATED version only.

Will this fit the stock cover or not? If not, what all is required?

it appears that it fits and comes with a shim kit to clear the oil pump

Use the non nitrided stuff in our speedway engines and only ever change the chain once a year-no gear wear. Now this is with 260lb on the seat 600lb+ over the nose driving p/steer as well as fuel pump...don't think you have any worries with the non nitrided set on a streeter with 340 over the nose...the engine will be worn out before the chain set!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
