Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette, getting the timing just right is crucial for performance. This timing chain kit from Manley Performance uses fully machined billet steel sprockets and a double roller chain with .250-inch diameter rollers, built to handle the demands of your LS-1 engine.

What sets this kit apart is the nine-keyway steel crankshaft sprocket. This allows you to dial in your camshaft timing with precision, offering settings of 0, +/- 2, +/- 4, +/- 6, and +/- 8 degrees. The camshaft sprockets are also machined to accept a captive Torrington thrust bearing, which helps manage thrust loads and contributes to the overall well-built nature of this kit. You won't need to modify your timing cover for installation, making it a straightforward swap.

Keep in mind that this kit is not recommended for valve spring pressures exceeding 450 lbs. It's a solid option for builders looking for precise timing control and a durable timing set for their Corvette.
