Had Cloyes BBC timing chain 6 dyno pulls, 4 passes and the thing stretched out caused a dropped valve?????

Is every thing just JUNK now?

X3!!! I got so sick of ill fitting chain to gear fitment along with chain stretch with the normal performance timing chain companies I went with a RollMaster that was suggested to me by my cylinder head guy. They are a bit pricey (I think I paid around $90) but there have been no issues. Great fitting and reliable.

Been using rollmasters for several years. They are very nice. No problems.

Rollmaster,
If you have the main line done, you can purchase chain sets to compensate any slack.

I prefer Rollmaster (Crane Cam's billet set) or SA Gear Ultimate Adjustable Billet Set with adjustable cam gear (Like a Jesel cam gear)

Be carefull as Cloyes came out with a copy of the SA Gear however since the cam gear is adjustable, the crank gear is NOT adjustable on the SA unit but is adjustable on the Cloyes

You can get the SA unit from Erson, Comp Cam's, and Lunati.

Rollmaster also makes vernier adjustable timing sets.

With the valve spring pressures and the lobe events that the traditional set ups have been seeing in recent years, I guess it's inevitible that a new chain set would be necessary. Who sells them, what are the part numbers?
