Broken timing chain question.
Re: Broken timing chain question.
o man just did my cam a tr224 and kept the stock chain. i hate toripe the car apart again
Re: Broken timing chain question. 377 RWHP is about 420 -430 FWHP. I'd go back to the shop that recomended it and let them know about it. At least get them to stop putting them on and go with the doubles. And if that chain is rated at something higher (there must be a rating system) then maybe you can get some money or help from them or IWIS. This **** aint gonna be cheap.
Re: Broken timing chain question. im glad i picked up a 2x rollmaster. my car has almost 100k miles on it so whatever chain on there needed replacing anyway. plus im going with the TR230
Re: Broken timing chain question. all I can say is ouch.....
I have been chiming in on the reasons to go with a double chain...and used this thread as an example....hope the other guy listens.....
definately try to convince the shop to start using doubles....maybe with a lawyer you can get them to build you a new motor for their lack of reasoning....and for not even offering the stronger option to you???

Re: Broken timing chain question. Mike have you thought about getting some ported heads since you have to pulled the heads off anyway?
I have the flywheel tool if you want to borrow it.
I broke a Cloyes chain back in 2000.

Hows you son doing? Re: Broken timing chain question. My son's doing great, just have to stay on his butt to so he takes his meds on time. Hey tell your wife I said donating a kidney is the most rewarding thing I have ever done . . . it was great to see my son all healthy again. And after 2 or 3 months I felt totally normal again with no side effects. But don't even try to get into your fbody for at least a month after surgery! Now that's the hard part . . .
