What is the benefit of a roller timing chain over a stock chain?

A roller timing chain, like the one in this kit, uses .250" diameter rollers. This design is stronger and more durable than a stock single-row chain, helping to maintain precise timing accuracy over a longer period.

What does the adjustable crankshaft sprocket do?

The fully machined steel crankshaft sprocket has three keyways, allowing you to adjust the camshaft timing by -4, 0, or +4 degrees. This adjustability lets you fine-tune your engine's performance characteristics to better suit your needs.

What is the Torrington bearing or brass shim for?

The Torrington bearing or brass wear shim on the camshaft sprocket helps manage the thrust load. This component ensures the camshaft stays properly aligned and reduces wear on the timing set.
