Timing Chain Set

Tims 66 Cuda said

I bought a Comp Cams kit and the chain set is sloppy as hell. I then ordered a Cloyes set wich I,ve always uesd and it sloppy too. The Comp Cam kit turned out to be a Cloyes set. Does anyone make a tight chain set an more. My go to aint what it used to be. Any help appreciated.

Tim, it's entirely possible you have an engine that's been line bored......incorrectly. When one is line bored, the correct way is to remove a VERY small cut from the block just enough to knock the dirt off, so that it actually doesn't change the cam and crank center line distance. But as mentioned, you can get shorter chains to make up for it.
