Bolt on timing chain tensioner
Pre-grind the ditchs for the double roller so the rollers contact the nylon slipper if that makes you feel better. If a nylon chunk can shear a chain pin...! I got a 200,000 mile plus Mazda that has 2 6 inch long slippers and a 1" shoe that contacts the roller style chain and it has barely any wear on it, as well as all modern engines.
If your digging ditches in nylon with a round edge of a chain, you got oiling issues. And there is nothing wrong with the silent chains if you run these. Hamburger used to sell a Hi-po silent chain for a Mopar before they had roller chains. Its like politics, you wont change anyone's mind on this.
