Quote: autoxcuda, Roller timing chain really cut into the tensioner in no time. Yes, that engine was run hard and HOT but oil pressure was always present. Maybe its meant only for factory link style chains??
Yea, that situation you had shouldn't have really affected the chain.
You've got a point than a non roller chain has a lot more surface area and smoother on it's backside that rubs the tensions than a roller chain.
