Looking for a good timing gear set for my '85 T/A with a chevy 350. Putting in a Lunati bracket master II (00017) cam and Edelbrock 2701 performer intake.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

man i just tried to put a double roller timing chain in mine and all i got was a loud bang out the back tail pipes you mit want to check the spec before jumpin gin to this bro i had to go throw 5 differernt ones till the parts house got me a replacement one

 

Just get a good double roller, and you'll be happy. I have one that I've ran for years with no issues.

 

I used a Comp Cams double roller set and have had no issues at all.

 

Every manufacturer has different quality sets. I use a good double roller Cloyes in my engine. It also uses a torrington bearing to ride against the block.

The advantage of an OEM chain is long life and quiet operation. The aftermarket roller/double rollers versions come in different qualities. The cheaper ones will tend to wear out after a few years of daily use. A true roller is a better quality.

Drilling very small holes in the oil gallery plugs behind the chain will help keep it better lubricated.

 

Awesome, thanks!
I went with the Cloyes double roller...something like 30 bucks from summit. I hope it works!
