Timing chain oil slinger
I bought a silent chain for the 273 with a tensioner. No need for a double roller in that. I think an $80 true double roller is overkill on anything, as often as we take our motors apart. Are you buying them for longevity (really?) or the last 1 ft/lb of torque? SRT hemis come with a link belt!!! Ooh, and notice the (lack of) hydraulic tensioner. They would not skimp on this link belt piece to save a buck as no one is buying an SRT to save money. Sure they had a huge recall on these chains breaking but it was only in the 4cyl mode on automatics, so it wasnt an issue with exceeding the torque capacity of the chain, but more of a harmonics or hydraulic tensioner issue.
VVT version with hydraulic tensioner and SAME "lo-po" link belt...(its not).
