What is the benefit of the three keyways on the crankshaft sprocket?

The three keyways on the crankshaft sprocket allow you to precisely adjust your engine's timing by -4, 0, or +4 degrees. This offers flexibility for tuning your engine's performance characteristics.

What is a Torrington thrust bearing and why is it included?

A Torrington thrust bearing is a type of roller bearing that helps manage axial forces. Including it on the camshaft sprocket helps ensure smooth operation and durability by reducing friction and wear in that critical area.

Does this kit include everything needed to install the timing chain?

This kit includes the billet steel sprockets and the double roller timing chain. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or sealants that may be required for proper installation.

About this part

Product Details

Manley Performance is well-known for making strong internal engine components, and this billet timing chain kit for Small Block Chevrolet engines is a great example of that. If you're rebuilding the front end of your engine, getting the timing right is crucial for performance and smooth running. This kit uses a double roller chain with .250" diameter rollers for durability and reliable timing transfer between the camshaft and crankshaft.

The sprockets are fully machined from billet steel, which is a solid choice for strength. The crankshaft sprocket is particularly useful because it comes with three keyways, letting you adjust the timing by -4, 0, or +4 degrees. This flexibility is handy for fine-tuning your engine's performance. The camshaft sprockets are also well-built, featuring a captive Torrington thrust bearing to handle the forces involved and ensure smooth operation. This kit is also .005 inches shorter than some other options, which can be important in tight engine builds.
