I'm replacing the factory chain with a true double roller. I have only replaced one other small block chain and that was on a 77 with no tensioner. Is this some new fangled device, what is its purpose? do small block chains fit to loose or Join the Penguin Liberation Front!! Stop the Hippo Occupation!

I believe Mopar came out with them mainly for the 3.9 v-6 to quiet the common timing chain rattle issue with them. They can also be used on the v-8s and help stabilize the timing. A good double roller is a better option in my opinion. 392 gen III hemi on E-85 727 trans Dana 60 10.02@134
