Prototype Adjustable timing chain set

[Heo]

X2 what WConely said. If my mermory is right
Torx can take 30 percent more Torqe

Too late for Torx, the allen head screws are already purchased and installed in the gears.  Also I don't know of a source for fine thread Torx button head capscrews.

Jay, Check with McMaster-Carr. Another sourse might be MSC in NY.  Garry

I used short studs and nuts on mine.  But I was not concerned about mechanical fuel pump use.  Only one eccentric required on my engine - and its me!

Thanks Garry, McMaster didn't have them but MSC does.  I'll think about them for the next batch...

Once I get mine set properly I doubt I'll need to adjust much after. With the funky configuration I will be running I want to be able to infinetly fine tune everything is what I am after. With E85, stage II Eddy heads, roller cam, Moets TF Box R intake and TFI who knows where I'll end up timing wise? And I swapped my chassis and added about 3000 LBS at least to my weight. I already have most everything now just need the chain and I want to do cross bolt center main caps while it's apart. I can almost smell the Alky now on the dyno LOL.

Jay, what is the release date for ordering?  Have a buddy that has interest.

The gears are supposed to arrive at my place today, Larry, but since this is an overseas shipment they may be a couple days late.  The chains are already here.  I will post in this thread when they are available, but it shouldn't be more than a few more days.  Thanks, Jay

[BattlestarGalactic]

Ok, I realized it was a long distance thing but didn't know exactly what you had going on.  Thanks for the update, I'll pass it along.

[jayb]

Well, as usual everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.  The gear shipment from Australia was split into two parts by the shipping company (TNT), and one box with some of the cam gears and all of the crank gears has been lost.  They are currently searching for the missing box.  I suppose it doesn't help that we are in the middle of the holiday season.  If you are waiting for one of these sets please accept my apologies; I don't have any information yet on when I may receive the missing parts.   Hopefully they will find the box and I will have the rest of the gears in the next few days.  In the meantime, here is what I do have:



Sorry again for the delay - Jay

Man, that sucks, I sure hope the rest of it turns up for you. I can say this, what you do have looks like a really nice quality part. None of us should be surprised though judging from all your other awesome parts.

Wow... that sucks, all the crank gears, so no sets. Wonder why they boxed them that way??? It is scary shipping anything this time of year for sure. I sure hope they find your missing box Jay.

Thanks, I'm very happy with the top gears and chains.  I'm sure the bottom gears will look good, too, if they ever show up
