Wtb: Timing chain and cover
 

Wondering if anyone on here had a NICE timing chain for a SBC kicking around or for sale before I order one. Also looking for a good timing cover. I have a stock type but was told not to use it due to the cover flexing.

Let me know if you have anything. Would rather help someone on here before buying elsewhere.

if you where just reg sbc then i have a hex adj timing set..you just would need to buy the hex adj bolt..

How much? any clue how much the bolt is? Is it needed?

dont you need a roller retro fit setup?

My step dad has tons of chain sets and SBC parts. He is very tight with his sbc stuff tho, I'll ask if hed want to sell a chain and cover? Whats your spending range?

No I use just a regular chain, I just need to use a block protector place and a cam button to keep the cam from walking.

Kev, I'm looking to spend like 50-60 max, I dont need a cover but if I can get a non stock type one cheap I'll grab it so I dont hafta weld mine.

nvm he yelled at me. "You fuckin crazy??? Thats vintage shit you cant find that no more!!! If I wanted to sell that stuff I'd have it on ebay by now!"

hahahaha old guys

Bolt is 25$..ill sell it for 25$..i bought it in hope of being able to use it..guy gave me wrong part number for it..its the 3100 one or something like that..ill look when i get home..it has a 9way crank key also..it was.used.but looks good

I wouldn't use a used chain Josh, bolt and cover sure, but spring for the new timing set.

I was just curious if anyone had something laying around they never used really. I know I have a buncha parts still in packages.

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

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CLO-9-3100A/ one i have..chain matches up with my new cloyes on i just picked up..the one i have has a 9 way keyed crank sprocket...you just need the adj bolt an 1 cam bolt which you probley have or can grab from ace..
