It's a double, not a roller. Gear drive is too noisy, sounds like my power steering pump does when I start it in the morning.

Double as in...?

Double roller or single roller...

 

[ShowNoMercy]

Nope, its a single roller.

Someone correct me if I am wrong on the "roller" part.

 

[ShowNoMercy]

Did you get the right one?

 

[ShowNoMercy]

Well there are not that many timing chains that allow for stock operation of things... maybe three of them that I know of...

Odds are not with him... please post up when you find out which one you bought ...

 

[ShowNoMercy]

That would be it.


IMO you should never replace the chain only, and stock pieces should always be upgraded when they are out...

 

[ShowNoMercy]

Valvetrain?

Yes, I did.

Edit: Have you seen the cam he wants to stick in there? Maybe not 100% replace everything, but valvetrain parts seem to me like a good thing to upgrade...

 

[ShowNoMercy]

Have you ever seen the specs Of the cam on my old car? Yes it was a 396 not a stock bottom end.

I don't wanna argue, was just saying, IMO valvetrain parts are not places to skimp on. Especially with a cam that will want a lot of RPM. Tis all I am saying.

The difference in the 93 LT1 is the opti!! It doesn't ride on the cam dowell and is non vented! I will inspect the timing gears for wear. It only has 83,000 miles and the timing chain probably last for 200,000!

Good plan, and 93's drive the opti with a spline drive I believe.

Its good you don't want to argue. You have come along way since you joined the forum. All I ask is that you guys pass on the knowledge you have gained from your time here. How much time was spent helping you learn? I know CKJ and others gave you tons of attention getting you up to speed.

And I appreciate it. :LS1LT1flag:

 

[ShowNoMercy]

He was referring to me.

I just made the mistake of cheaping out on a few odds and ends when I first did my first work on the car, and it cost me later on.

Pump gas and emissions friendly are completely doable with both bigger valves and pistons.

 

[ShowNoMercy]

I hear ya, you want that adjustable timing gear set now, don't ya!!!!!

Nope, if I wanted to drop a lot of money, I would get a Jesel belt timing set.

However, its much easier to pull or add timing through tuning.

 

[ShowNoMercy]

Yes, something like that.

And actually in your case, 93's would need chips burned to run the engine.

 

[ShowNoMercy]

He wants a car the has lope.
