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" />
Re: Any thoughts on the SLP double roller timing chain? 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" />

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" />
