Timing chain?

[dragway]

I am replacing timing chain with double roller and was wondering how everyone is installing the straight up or advance or retarded ? I bought it from cottons ans has 3 settings 4 degrees adv or 4 retarded or straight up . Mods are in sig .

If you're just changing the timing set install it straight up. If it was a new build and you were going to degree the cam you might want to advance it a bit. FYI, don't re-install the stock tensioner with a double roller timing set.

Also there is a tab/ridge on the inside of the front cover towards the top, u might have to cut it back to prevent interference with the chain.

Yep. Rollmasters like to interfere with that stupid flap., I'm guessing you noticed that flap was machined off on your cover.

The guy who modded the cover must know his stuff

Beware of the "cheap" double roller chain sets with a cast cam gear as we have had many issues with them as they may not last very long?

This set only had a few thousand miles of use:

It also had drive gear problems for the cam sensor also or big foot problems till it warmed up .
