I have a new Cloyes timing set I put on it and have aprox. .160" deflection in the chain. Is this too much? Should I go with a -.005 chain or will it be too tight? Any suggestions? Also what is your favorite brand you can buy with a torrington thrust bearing(Cloyes, rollmaster, comp)? Thanks guys!! Last edited by fiddlestix; 09/09/12 09:39 AM.
