I'd love to see em.

I got a JWIS timing chain and gears from John Lloyd at streetquick@bigpond.com.

$110 shipped to my door. Took about a week to get here.

It's got two Jwis chains, and it is only $82 total including shipping, all the way from Australia.

I'd go for the Katech (JWIS) chain, and get a set of cloyes gears. They have a little larger teeth, and will minimize any varinaces in cam timing when the chain stretches and breaks in. By the way, any chain will strech some.

Yea,I bought the regular cloyes a while back but found out its nothing more than a gear set with a stock chain.I did alittle research and I found the "IRL" chain from Cloyes.

Probably the BEST single roller out there...
I didnt want to shim or cut the cover so this was the best option other than the JWISS.

The IRL isnt cheap though...
200 bucks for just a chain is insane...

Gonna put that sucker on the car in 2 weeks along with the KATECH pump.Degreeing the cam too while I'm in there,Never know might find out it was odd a degree or 2?

I went with the IRL chain myself with the gear set and you will not have no worry's after that...You pay for what you get as mine was nearly 300.00 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> (whole package)...
