Which is better single roller or double roller timing chain?
A single roller is also ideal for most high performance street engines. When you get way up in the horsepower and rpm strata where big lift cams and very high valve spring pressures come into play, a double roller chain can better control harmonic vibration at the cost of a little additional weight.
What are the different types of timing chains?
There are two types of roller timing chains available. The single roller chain is much like the chain on a bicycle—the links or side plates of the chain pass over and around a single set of teeth in each gear. A double roller chain is exactly what the name implies—gears with dual sets of teeth with a chain link for each set.
What kind of timing chain do I need for cam drive?
The least expensive and simplest upgrade for a stock link style timing chain is to replace it with an aftermarket performance timing set: either a beefed up link style chain or the ever popular single or double roller timing chain. Link chains with larger diameter pins and stronger heat treating can add durability and strength to the cam drive.
Which is the weakest link in the timing chain?
Timing sets are no different. They are one of the most critical components inside the engine. If the timing chain is the weakest link (pun intended), the engine may not make it further than second gear. On the other hand, overkill on the timing set may break the bank.
