Well I got one, it's not NOS, but it appears to have been bolted into an engine and never used. Here's a photo of it, if you've seen the kit as a complete set, please comment on the completeness of the set in the photo. Thanks to 304-dude for sending me the instructions.  |

the only thing i see missing is the 2 pipe plugs with threads for the bracket bolts for the cam oil galleries. also check your cam gear hub they usually have the oil groove on the wrong side for oiling the dist drive gear.

What is the deal with how reliable these are? As in how long do they last and is there any adjustment for wear? Not having seen one in action before I dont know.

I can pull out my complete unused set and post a picture. These things should last 4x longer than the best chain setup though noise will become promenant as wear increases. Though if nothing happens to damage the teeth, they should never fail, though I would check bearing wear or replace the bearing every rebuild or in race conditions end of season or under engine components refresh (valve springs, seals, and what not). |

304-dude, I would appreciate that very much. A photo comparison would be good. The two plugs with female threads in them shouldn't be too difficult to reproduce. I may be able to source them from Milodon as well.

Madmax, Looks close to what is depicted in this drawing and the photo of a conventional chain sprocket. But Thanks, I will definitely check and recheck the path.  |

Everyone that runs them uses a hard line from the pump output to the top of the cover a few inches from the distributor and a wee diagonal.
Though the oiling channel may be correct or not by it's loper clocking. Though it seems it's just the clocking not the length as some have reported with chain cam gears. Edited by 304-dude - Feb/18/2019 at 12:54pm |
