I have had really good luck and service life out of the Mancini brand, If I remember correctly they are made by rollmaster.

Another Cloyes Tru-Roller. The parts shop (noob employee) ordered me one of those cheapies from Comp, and I just handed it back to him.

Always used Cloyes in all my motor builds and never had an issue.

rollmaster seemed to last longer than the cloyes.

I think that ProGear has the best quality these days.

I agree and use and sell Pro gear on everything that requires a timing chain. Excellent product. Made in the USA by a gear company that has been around a very very long time.
