My lightly used rollmaster chain seems tight in all the links. Non sure if i should reuse it. Dont remember it being this tight and kinky. Normal or junk?

OK thanks. I don't know what would make the links tighten up like they are. Shopping for a new set. Looking at pro gear this time.

Checked out their website and those look real nice. It also looks like our very own Competition Wedge is a dealer for them. I would love a quote on a set. J.Rob

x2, if that $$ chain gives up, a lot of big $$$$ damage could be in your future, be safe.

The Pro-Gear set I have on my 440 has been excellent. About 5K miles usage and no detectable stretch, plus the 9-way crank key is accurately machined for degreeing the cam. I gave up on Rollmaster after trying Pro-Gear.
