SB Cam Thrust Plate P5249637 no longer made? Only tensioner now?

I run one in my 340, stabilizes idle timing mostly and perhaps keeps the cam gear from SOME erratic rotation speeds...but i believe during acceleration, constant or otherwise, already keeps the cam timing steady, 'reasonably speaking'.

Mine, used with a aussie billet dbl set, has wear. I don't like the worn particles going into the pan just like I don't want old valve stem seals bunching up in the pickup.

Steady timing reading at idle is the only noticeable thing. Imo

I'm not saying to run one or not run one.
...I just wish they made a spring loaded gear that meshed with the chain instead of a guide .

4.6 ford... that motor will make you hate chain guides.lol

what if you pre-clearanced the nylon block with a dremel so the block contacts the rollers and not the link endplates? That way the natural wear pattern of the triple spine double roller chain is already established and the nylon filings are not in your oil. I ran a new silent chain with my new tensioner on my 273. What makes a double roller any stronger than a silent chain? I think its the opposite, but they are more likely to stretch. "..While more prone to chain stretch than a roller setup, this type of chain is stronger and lighter. That means it will last longer.." great for OEM, not so good for performance.
