I know they make a double roller timing chain for the 3.1L...... but what exactly would have to be modified to fit it and would there be any real benefits of it?

 

nothing its made for it it bolts on

 

Yup. I had one in my old 2.8.

 

i knew it would fit but it says something about having to modify the damper? I'm not even entirely sure what that part is

 

I do not believe that you have to modify anything, when I bought my 89 2.8, it already had one of these. Don't know how old it was but it was stretched like hellll. Went back to single tooth and no problem since, about 80,000 miles on it.

Being that I dont know how it is when its new, does it even make a difference?

 

would I have to change out the gears though because would I need a double gear or something like that for it?

 

they come with the new gears, unles su buy just the replacement chain

 

ok well would this be a good one to buy then? http://www.engine-parts.com/GMV6/gmv6tmg.html

 

in all honesty just goto napa or ur local parts place and get a stock replacement last time i got a set i think it was 32 bucks
u wont notice any gains from a double roller , hell i use the stock chains on my turbo builds

 

ok then thats what I will do thank you project89

 

also, from what i have read in the past, if you get a double, as the chain starts to stretch, it will make the timing go off farther than a single, do to the mass of the chain, and the friction of the chain on the sprockets
