timing chain help
timing chain help Last part i need for my cam swap is a timing chain. I was talkin to bret and he suggested the ProGear set@$80ish and that it was real easy to deg. the cam vs. the Cloyts one. And i also seen a Lunati one for $188 that was a full roller. What one are you guys using and do i need a lt1 specific one or any hyro-rolelr cam years 87+? I would assum not because of the opti pin correct. So whats a good one?
Cloyes dbl roller here... I had to pull my timing cover shortly after getting it running for something or another. And it was making slight contact with the cover, but nothing 5 minutes worth of grinding couldnt solve.
FWIW, the hex-adjust cloyes setup will not work if your going to be running an opti. The adjustment mechanism doesnt allow for the opti to mate with the cam face.

i emailed bret and he said that i need a LT1 specific timing chain so im assuming that the progear wont work on my '94 cause i dont have a vented opti. So im gonna go this route........
