"One test is worth a thousand expert opinions."
Many brands of engines use an oil slinger to help oil the timing chains. The disc gets sandwiched between the crank gear and the hub of the harmonic damper. The small block chevy is not one of them.
I like the idea of adding a slinger to help keep the oil away from the front seal in the timing chain cover. I read that oil slingers were used from 55-61. But I don't think that the timing covers we have today have the necessary clearance to use one. Plus they probably got rid of them when seal technology got better and road draft tubes were replaced with PCV systems, yielding lower crankcase pressures.
the double roller cloyes timing chains tend to last longer before they wear and have excess slack
and they can be used with the stock O.E.M timing chain cover
This looks like a darn bargain

TRUE DOUBLE ROLLER TIMING CHAIN SETS FROM QUALITY MANUFACTURERS TEND TO BE MORE DURABLE
