I thought a tensioner was a no no with a double roller timing chain???

Im not running tensionerwith my dual row chain

 

[UncleDave]

Why ?

Here's what I was told by a TR sage: When using a double-roller with the stock-style nylon tensioner, the chain can chew up it up. The debris from the ground up tensioner can clog the oil pickup screen. You will then suffer loss of oil pressure, leading to catastrophic engine failure, which of course will happen at the worst possible moment. Then some guy named Murphy will sit in your driver's seat and refuse to move until you hand him several thousand $$.

Custom grind from comp cam. 242/242 560 lift 114 lobe Sep.
It thumps hard and has been 5.70's in the 8th in this motor. I mic'd all the lobes and they are spot on. How about $80 plus the ride ? I'm offering it to you first before putting it in the for sale section since you asked about it.

what size is that flat tappet? wanna sell it?

I'd like to find out where you got the oil pick up tube. I like the way it's made.

Got the breather mounted and the lines fab'd up.

where did you get that breather setup? brand? im doing a similar setup on my motor, the AN fittings are welded into the valve covers already. Thanks

 

[dentmasters01]

I bought the breather from a local shop here. I used a piece of alum angle for the bracket. My valve cover fittings were just regular threaded fittings, and I used my bench grinding wheel to grind the threads down and made them into push ins . I can go by the shop and find out what brand the breather is and the price. I think it was like $60 bucks, but not positive.
