Received mine today Jay.
To bad it has to be covered up.
Beautiful piece.

Too bad it will be covered up.......indeed.

Got me thinking, always a bad thing, I wonder if a clear cover could be made for Jays 2 piece timing cover?
Might get it laser cut from a suitable plastic? Pair that with the see through valve covers.

It certainly could be, but the water pump would still hide most of timing gear setup.

Heads up for those of you who have purchased a timing chain set.  I just got an email from one of my customers that showed a defective chain.  I have never seen something like this before:





This is a Cloyes chain, and I have to believe the one with the missing link is an aberration, but please check your chains carefully anyway.

Also, as of Monday morning 1/23/17 the introductory price will be history, and pricing will increase to the normal price of $249 per set.

Thanks, Jay

Interesting, especially since it's a Cloyes chain. 2 rollers and a plate were omitted. Must have been quittin' time on a Friday.......  ;D

Mike, thanks for the update, I suspect that the bad chain was a once in a great while kind of thing, but I will be checking ALL of them before shipment from now on LOL!

Chain's good Jay.
Looking like an aberration that was found.
Still a beautiful piece.

Mine is fine, links could be a little tighter but no misfires on link sequence.
