Thread: Double Roller install help.

I took some emery cloth to the crank and inside of the sprocket, cleaned it off, put a light coat of oil on and it went on easier. Crank sprocket came off pretty easy when I was removing the dr, but the cam sprocket was a real mf'er coming off. If I were making the mistake of using a dr again, I'd probably take some emery to the inside of that sprocket, too.

I'm sure you've read about the issues double rollers have with our cars. If I need to run 2 front cover gaskets, use a milled oil pump cover, and/or have the crank gear machined just to be able to use it as advertised, something isn't right. I have a new stock chain/dampener now, and feel a lot more comfortable than I did with the JP in there. If I were running something bigger than the XP, then I'd probably look into something stronger, but it's not necessary for my setup.
