Mopar timing chain tensioner

65s said

So I'm sitting here reading this thread, knowing my cam chain is really worn and I need to replace it. What timing chain should I buy? It's a generic 273 commando clone (273 commando intake on it with carb and dress up parts). Should I install an tensioner or is that only for racing applications or 340 applications?

I went with the Comp Cams chain (#2103) for my 318 buildup. It says that it's already pre-stretched so I figured what the hell. Besides it was only another $15-20 from the Summit chain.

I have thought about using a timing chain tensor on mine, so I am glad this thread started up. But now it seems like a no brainer! I am gonna be picking one up.

Mancini sells one cheaper.
