Just wondering which is better. Comp Cams dbl (3113) or the Cloyes true dbl roller (9-3113). The Cloyes is twice as much, so that b meaning it be better? I already have a Comp Cam hyd. roller cam if that matters. tx

 

Cloyes always

 

I am going to throw this one as well. Just seen it on RA's site.

CLEVITE / PERFECT CIRCLE Part # 93113
Performer;High Performance Street Applications and Slightly Modified Racing Engines;Contains Better Quality Double Roller Chain With .250" Diameter Rollers, Cast Iron Cam And 3 Key Crank Sprockets $78.03

 

Comp Cams gear and chain are made by Cloyes.

 

i have always run the comp cams roller set never had an issue

 

x2 That's what I always heard!

 

I've used the Summit house-brand timing sets on some motors with fairly big solid rollers, and had no problems.

There are probably no more than 2 or 3 companies actually making these and selling them to EVERYONE.

At one time, while working on several Pontiacs, I had timing sets from 3 different companies - they were identical, right down to each chain having one silver link.

Thanks.

Looking at Cloyes a bit more, they have several options, and several do not seem to be straight bolt-ons. The all-billet ones look appealing though (ie. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CLO-9-3613X9/). Not sure which would be preferred degree wise though (ie. 2/4, 4/8, 3/6, etc.)

If you want to do it right, then get the Cloyes 9 keyway setup. Also look for roller size, bigger is better, the Comp has smaller rollers.
And a lot of the mail order stuff uses american made sprockets but chinese chains, that's what stretches.
