Timing set for gen v block with step nose cam
 
What timing set can be used on a gen v block with a step nose cam? The cover is stock 525sc gen v.

you need a timing set for a gen 6 engine,also need the cam retaining plate&blots.i have the part number for them in the shop and can post in the am unless someone beats me to it.

I have the retaining plate and bolts. Just need timing set. Is the gen vi a single or double row?

If you buy rollmaster with Torrington bearing you need to clearance the retainer... just fyi

The chain looks like a drive chain off a motorcycle... serious rugged chain!!
