What is the main benefit of a double roller timing chain?

A double roller timing chain, like this COMP Cams model, offers increased strength and wear resistance compared to a single-row chain. This makes it a more robust option for engines that experience higher stress or are used in performance applications.

Why is it important that the chain is pre-stretched?

Pre-stretching the timing chain helps to remove initial slack before it's installed. This means the chain is less likely to stretch further over time, which helps maintain accurate valve timing for longer and ensures consistent engine performance.

Does this timing chain come with the gears or is it just the chain?

This part is a replacement timing chain only. It is designed to work with the COMP Cams 3118 Hi-Tech timing set, which includes the gears. You would typically purchase this chain if you need to replace the chain component of that specific timing set.

Product Details

This heat-treated, pre-stretched double roller timing chain is designed as a replacement for the COMP Cams 3118 Hi-Tech timing set. It's built to handle the demands of both street performance and dedicated race applications, offering improved durability over stock components. This chain is a solid choice for rebuilding or upgrading the timing system in a wide range of AMC engines, including those found in vehicles like the Jeep CJ5, Jeep Cherokee, and American Motors Javelin. Its construction ensures reliable timing synchronization, which is critical for engine performance and longevity.

The double roller design provides increased strength and wear resistance compared to single-row chains, making it well-suited for engines that see frequent use or higher stress. Being pre-stretched means it's less likely to stretch out over time, helping to maintain accurate valve timing throughout its service life. This attention to detail in its manufacturing process contributes to its suitability for performance builds where precise timing is essential.
