Edelbrock Timing Chain And Gear Set Ford 429-460

If you're working on a Ford 429 or 460 big-block engine, this Edelbrock Performer-Link timing chain and gear set is a solid option for your rebuild. It's designed to work with either stock or Edelbrock camshafts, ensuring precise timing for your engine's valve events.

This set uses a solid-bushing chain, which acts as a true bearing surface that rolls with the sprockets. This design helps prevent chain stretch, a common issue that can lead to inaccurate timing and reduced engine performance over time. The cam sprockets are made from 35,000 psi tensile strength cast iron, while the crank sprockets are crafted from billet SAE-1144 steel and induction heat-treated for durability. Many of these sets also feature three keyway setting points, allowing for accurate timing selection on both early and late-model applications.

Remember, when installing this set, avoid hammering directly on the chain or sprockets, as this can cause damage. Always use a sleeve or carefully alternate blows on the sprocket sides to prevent cocking. Ensure proper alignment between the cam and crank sprockets before reassembly to avoid premature failure.
