Bolt on timing chain tensioner

There is a reason why real performance engines use a belt or gear drive.

I find it a bit odd that guys will spend thousands of dollars on a great engine and then cheap out on a 150 dollar timing chain.

Just cRaZy IMO.

Thats stepping over donuts to pick up dog turds.

I've heard many an old fart claim gears are a time bomb despite all of your heavy duty and medium duty diesels using gear drives. Yes the Cummins dowel pin and all but when built properly a gear drive will last forever and never lose time.
