I've asked the same question in 2 different threads and got nothing but crickets for almost 2 weeks

I looked up your part number on roll masters product list and a CS2090 does not even come up

I read through your threads as well and felt it pretty inconclusive. So many options that I think it comes down to availability and price point.

I was looking at single rollers but the adjustable units that I found were much more expensive than the double rollers. I was actually going to run the stock GM unit but it already had a half an inch of slack and read that a some oem units are set with 10* retard. I didn’t bother to verify that though since it was already junk. It’s amazing how difficult it can be to sort out these little details for the weekend warriors.

I’m actually really happy with the set. A little grinding is no big deal.

I was referring to a gen 6

Roster, did you use the CS2095?
I don't see a CS2090 in the romac catalog.

I did find this though on the CS2095, check out Chris Straubs post #17, it says about 20% of the CS2095 need to have the block clearanced, and he sells rollmaster.
Timing chain for a gen 6 - Page 2 - Chevelle Tech

I'm still figuring mine out, so there is no definite answer but I'm leaning toward the rollmaster CS2095 with a cast aluminum gen 4 cover clearanced.

I got mine off of Amazon and looks to be the last one. eBay has plenty of them though.

Exactly. I don’t want a problem later.

Totes.

Because not all of us do this for a living to know and the Rollmaster was highly recommended in the OSO threads that I read. Comp Cams has a tough single roller for near $250. I don’t see your recommendation in my thread asking this exact question.

Thanks. Grinding will be done! No big deal.

Hey Baja.. I wasn't trying to offend you, and if I did, my apologies... I use the Cloyes in my Gen 6 builds and have never had an issue ... that being said if you do use your dbl row, I'd say make sure you have sufficient clearance for potential unknowns, chain whip, stretch etc etc... and also if your block has been align bored/honed will be helpful to know how much (even new blocks need some love sometimes) they make chain kits for .002" to .010" .... happy boating!!!
