Edelbrock Timing Chain And Gear Set Chry 318-360

Starting with the solid-bushing chain, this Edelbrock Performer-Link timing set is built to keep your engine's timing precise. Unlike some other designs, this chain uses a true bearing surface that rolls with the sprockets, which helps prevent the chain stretch that can throw off your engine's timing over time. This is crucial for making sure your valves open and close at the right moment, especially when you're using an Edelbrock or stock camshaft.

The sprockets themselves are well-made for durability. The cam sprockets are cast from 35,000 psi tensile strength iron, while the crank sprockets are machined from billet SAE-1144 steel and then induction heat treated for added toughness. This set is designed for a range of Chrysler small-block engines, including those found in vehicles like the Dodge D150, Chrysler Cordoba, and Dodge Charger, offering three keyway setting points for accurate timing selection on early or late-model applications. Just remember, this set is intended for use up to 6500 RPM.

When installing, be careful not to hammer directly on the chain or sprockets, as this can cause damage. Using a sleeve or carefully alternating blows with a brass drift punch on the sprocket sides will help avoid issues. Always check for clearance between the chain, block, and front cover before reassembly to ensure everything lines up correctly and prevents premature failure.
