Thread: Need Rollmaster Single Roller Timing Chain Reviews

I'm looking for reviews of the Rollmaster single roller timing chain or for advice on my timing set.

I'm wondering who is having good luck or bad luck with these timing sets.

It's only about $30 more for me to get the Rollmaster single roller timing set than the Cloyes non-roller with my discount, so price doesn't really matter.

I also understand that the tensioner/dampener needs to be changed often. I was wondering if there were any upgrades for this.

I'm not upgrading springs or rockers. I simply want a more reliable system that will last longer.

Stick with the stock style set up then. If you decide you want to cam and change the springs then get the rollmaster double. Not the single.

This is going in a Fiero... there's not much room in front of the engine, so I'm trying to avoid maintenance if possible. However, I want to do what is most mechanically sound and problem free.

the stock chain and dampener is good to about 150k easy, at that point the damper would get worn pretty good. btw, its a fiero, just drop the cradle lol

I keep reading about problems with fit, even with a machined oil pump cover.
