Default Re: Who makes the best timing chain?

The reason I believe Rollmaster is superior to other makes is due to their use of Nitrided billet gears and their premium sets use a German Iwis chain.
I have used the cloyes hex-a-just set ups for years and so far all I have seen is the IWIS chains and have seen no problems.

Like I sais earlier some times if stock cam bearings are used with a high spring pressures the cam bearing will flatten out causing the chain to be lose.

To the OP which cloyes set up did you have??
