What is the advantage of a roller timing set over a standard chain?

Roller timing sets, like this COMP Cams Hi-Tech set, use a double roller chain with larger pins. This design is stronger and more durable than standard single-row chains, making it better suited for high-performance engines and applications with aggressive camshaft profiles.

What does the adjustable crank sprocket allow me to do?

The crankshaft sprocket on this timing set has multiple keyways, allowing you to adjust the camshaft timing in 4-degree increments. This adjustability lets you fine-tune ignition timing to optimize engine performance, power delivery, and throttle response for your specific build or driving conditions.

Does this timing set come with all necessary hardware for installation?

This timing set includes the camshaft gear, crankshaft sprocket, and the double roller timing chain. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specific procedures required for your vehicle.
