I agree completely with Jake on this. That is why I always give the advice that you should ONLY listen to the people who actually have done these types of builds themselves. There is alot of bad information that gets circulated around here.
Jake, have you considered the Cloyes double roller timing set? That is the "tightest" set I have used and would probably work fine on your engine. Off the top of my head I believe it's part number 9-3145. It's pretty inexpensive too. I have a brand new extra one here if you would like to try it without purchasing one first. I'd be glad to send it to you and if it works, just pay me then. If not, send it back to me. The only stipulation is that you must run an electric waterpump.
