oiling timing chain

jack colv said

Thanks for all the info; I do Have a double roller chain from mancini racing but I have not been able to find a stock thrust plate and bolts only the one with slides which I do not like. My other concern how will the chain get oil without having bolt with hole drilled into it was thinking about leaving bolt out or drill hole in thrust plate at the oil gally Thanks again for getting back to me

I am a big fan of the pressurized oil trick through the thrust plate. IMO, it would have been good for Chrysler to have done even on a stock build. What could possibly be the down side? Of course, you don't want much of a hole. I drilled the galley plug in my slant 6 build with a 1/16" hole and that will soak the timing set, rest arrured and not cause a big pressure drop. That's simply no down side. More lubrication and more cooling. What's not to like?
