Re: Gen VI Timing Set
I knew it could not be perfect but minor adjustments can fix. Notice where the chain is dragging on the back of the cover on the upper right side. These raised supports can be cut down 1/16 to give clearance. Because its on one side, it probally is just a casting flaw in the cover. I am going to clearance all three sides to make sure we do not throw any metal in the engine.

Re: Gen VI Timing Set
This is way better than the GM chain. I got it from Scoggin Dickey for a buddy of mine I'm helping build HP500's. It is tight.
These will go in mine next

Re: Gen VI Timing Set
I used a good Cloyes double roller in mine. I had to machine the cover to fit. When I bought mine several years ago, you could not find the timing chain covers to fit the Gen VI
I also had the cam button for the roller. Even machined down thin, I never had a problem with the cover after 3 years of running.

Re: Gen VI Timing Set
I will look as well, I 'm not the fastest engine builder but I usually don't miss something. Crawling on a rebuild is better than blowing on the first run.

Do you mean the dampener ring is hitting the cover . or the chain is hitting the cover???
