Thread: Which timing chain?

you have 2 options when it comes to it. I chose the second.....

1. add 2 gaskets to the front cover..this will space it away from the oil pump plate.

2. machine the oil pump plate and bolts down .002 to avoid contact with the chain.

I was lucky enough to buy a machined plate from FlynGTP in chicago. he has a machine shop shave them down for him....

its gotta be machined down 20 thousandths.

the jp is a better chain compared to the rollmaster, a few less have broken or caused problems. i would just get the double roller to begin with since you will never have to crack open the front cover again for the pure fact that the tensioner is gone.
