Its my understanding that is why we have .004, .005, .008 and .010 shorter timing chains unless I am missing something. I ordered a couple of .008 under timing chains in addition to the .005 under Rollermaster I have on the way. |

Measure the overall distance from the top of the cam gear to the bottom of the crank gear. Then measure the diameter of the cam gear, and the crank gear. Add the two together, divide by 2 and subtract that number from the first overall measurement. That is your center to center distance. Compare that number to the factory dimension spec. Your calculation will tell you whether you need a standard timing set, or how much shorter. Without guessing.

What I have found out so far is the chains you get be it std or shorter is they vary and you actually have to test fit. Had a std Cloyes that was tighter than their .005 short chain. Spending the 450$ on a Milodon gear drive sounds better all the time. |

I too have a mildon drive. I am assuming you are setting up your gear lash before bolting down the idler?
NOTE on gear drive. In using a the Milidon unit I found it quite helpful (and almost imposible without) to number A cam hub bolt hole then all 7 of the gear bolt holes to simplify dialing in a cam. IIRC each bolt hole gives you about 1.5* change?? (it's been 21 yrs...i forget) |

Not sure I am going to like the sewing machine with rhoads lifters as I believe that goes glove in hand with the 60919? |
