What does the Torrington bearing do in this timing chain kit?

The Torrington bearing is a thrust bearing that helps manage the axial load on the camshaft sprocket. It ensures smoother operation and can help reduce wear compared to setups without this type of bearing.

How do I adjust the timing with the crankshaft sprocket?

The crankshaft sprocket includes three keyways. By aligning the sprocket with the crankshaft using one of these three positions, you can adjust the camshaft timing by -4 degrees, 0 degrees (stock), or +4 degrees relative to the crankshaft.

What is the benefit of billet steel sprockets?

Billet steel sprockets are machined from a solid block of steel, which results in a very strong and precisely dimensioned component. This construction method helps ensure durability and accurate timing compared to cast sprockets.
