Timing chain

UglyFast88 · 04-30-2003, 03:57 PM

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get an adjustable timing chain from FRPP, but they are on backorder. I've got an old sprocket with the addvance/retard barkings on it, but the teeth are not mating with my chain too well. Can I index the cam with the old sprocket, then mark the chain, remove it, and replace it with my stock sprocket?

Thoughts?

I bought a summit timing chain, it came with marks for advanced and retarded installation... it was like 40 bucks, it a good old fashioned cast sproket, but I didnt need anythign special, seems to do the trick... though I installed it straight up
