MaMopar added it as a bandaid on the odd fire roller motor 3.9 for a noise and now it's supposed to be a performance piece? Not hardly. As others pointed out it was designed to be used with a silent link chain anyway and not a roller. It's unnecassary in my opinion. Never used one on any of our LA motors and don't have one on the 408" either. Rickster
