Ahhh gotcha, wasn't sure. hate to see a high dollar investment get KO'd by a used $25 part

True, I know I'm on a tight budget being in school but I shouldnt skimp out.

lol, def skimp on the cover :)

I was told I can weld washers onto the cover to stop flexing.. Might just do that..

Now to find a nice chain.. I'm kinda skeptical to buy the $26 one from Comp.

i paid over 100 dollars for my double roller set. i paid over 200 for a lunati set(stock GM Heavy Duty) timing set and it stretched in under 1500 miles. 2 degrees of timing stretched. So yeah i spent ALOT on a chain on purpose. its the number one defense against spark scatter and wen you have tight PTV its a no brainer!!!!

My P/V is prettly loose with my dished pistons actually.

You got some shitty luck pizza lol
