LA top end rebuild question

Oldmanmopar said

My motor has a 686 solid roller cam. A chain worked just fine for close to 8 years. No slack at all when removed. $340.00 for my new chain with billet gears special ordered from Cloyes. .005 over size sprockets. I used the old Rollmaster chain and sprockets in the brown Duster. fit perfect on that used engine.

Well the king has spoken. Let's all bow to his world.

I can tel you I've used many gear drives, never had any issue. When making 2 HP/CID or more, shifting at 8500 or more (which I know you say you've done but you lie so who knows what to believe...and your super trick oiling fixes that you never tell anyone about...that's a laugher) and using a clutch, you'll see how quickly a chain is worthless.

Again, go to YouTube and watch what happens to a chain, any chain, under load and tell me you cam timing is the same as you set it on the engine stand. It's not.

BTW, if you actually did some research, there are many out there who now know the answer is to use dampers on the cam. But you're to smart to bother with stuff like that.
