Yes I agree with you.I would expect yours to be some higher since your engine has more surface area for
increased friction. I'm somewhat smaller at 400 cuin.
Well I decided to go with the Rollmaster Gen VI CS2095/IWIS double roller chain. I called up Straub and added it to the order, had a pretty good chat with their purchasing mgr. Like everything, they are seeing extended timeframe getting their cores and parts. But the good news is that my cam may be done within a week or so, so maybe New Years will bring me a gift.'ve been looking at Gen VI timing sets and have 3 that are of interest:
- Summit G6617R-B Billet Steel Double Roller, 9 keyways, thrust bearing, about $80.
- Cloyes 9-3649X3 Single Roller, 3 keyways, iron/steel gears, no thrust bearing, about $155.
- Rollmaster CS2095 Double Roller Billet, 9 keyways, Torrington bearing, nitrided gears, IWIS chain about $164.
I read generally good info about the Rollmaster/IWIS chain combo vs the same brand with chain made in India.
Cloyes is good quality, nothing too fancy, fair price?
Not sure who's making the Summit brand, as it varies, but I see more good than bad comments about it.
First, thanks for checking back in and keeping us informed of your progress ! It's appreciated !I'll ensure all internal passages are clean as well.
I greatly appreciate you including my thread in your comments, thanks! Were you referring to the Visio drawing I did ?Rick, I paid note to your engine build (ring grinder) comments on where the plane of grinding should be, which in my case is the right face of the grinding wheel. Very helpful, thanks.
With the slots it should be able to accommodate a variety of sizes. If the size changes dramatically, like for a lawnmower, I think some additional slots can be added.So does this work with any diameter ring or just yours
