What is the main benefit of the Performer-Link solid-bushing chain?

The solid-bushing chain is designed to roll with the sprockets, which helps to eliminate chain stretch. This leads to more consistent engine timing and a longer service life for the timing set.

What materials are the sprockets made from?

The cam sprockets are constructed from 35,000 psi tensile strength cast iron. The crank sprockets are made from billet SAE-1144 steel and have undergone induction heat treatment for added durability.

Can this timing set be used for high-RPM applications?

This Performer-Link timing set is not intended for use above 6500 RPM. For applications requiring operation above this threshold, Edelbrock offers Performer roller chain sets.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the front of your engine, getting the timing right is crucial, and this Edelbrock Performer-Link timing chain and gear set is built to help you do just that. This set includes the timing chain and the necessary sprockets for your camshaft and crankshaft. It's designed to work with both stock camshafts and Edelbrock cams, giving you flexibility whether you're doing a stock replacement or an upgrade.

What sets this set apart is its solid-bushing chain. Unlike other designs, these bushings roll with the sprockets, which helps prevent chain stretch over time. This means more consistent timing and a longer lifespan for your engine's valvetrain. 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. This combination ensures a strong, reliable connection between your crank and cam.

This set is a solid option for a wide range of vehicles, including many Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models from the 60s and 70s. It features three keyway setting points on the crank sprocket, allowing for precise timing adjustments to suit early or late-model applications. Just remember, this set is intended for use below 6500 RPM, so keep that in mind for your build.
