| Post subject: | advice on double roller timing set |
Hi guys, Looking to buy a new timing set and damper for my 64 block that I am building up. I was trying to decide between the JP set and the Cloyes double rollers (can't find a Romac/Rollmaster which I think is the same as the JP?). I remember when I put my current hughes double roller in, that people thought it was easier to simply drill out and bush it than deal with the "adjustable" JP set. Am I remembering that right? I'd appreciate some advice there. Also any harmonic damper recommendations? thanks MJ |

Personally, I can't be bothered with the multi keyed crank sprockets. I think it is easier to drill the cam sprocket and do the adj that way. I have a set, of the multi key, in one of my engines, and wound up drilling the cam sprocket on that, since it was such a pain removing the crank sprocket and reinstalling it (semi-tight fit, needed a puller). As for the damper, I sent a e-mail to a NOS vender I have delt with. He used to have some NOS late style (6 spoke dampers). I purchesed a couple from him. Will let you know. |

You have a PM, about the damper. If you buy it, you will need to make a new timing mark, unless you use the later timing cover. |

I am thinking I actually have a later timing cover on my other motor, but I'm sure I dig one up. Are there any other issues since I am used an early forged crank, not a cast one. Besides the design of the wheel with more spokes and space, are there any other differences? Thanks Charlie! MJ |

Try finding one of the Aussie Romac balancers. Very nice parts and can be had in aluminum or steel. I bought one for my 318 and it was very high quality. They used to be available for slants, but it's been a while since Ive looked. -James |

Romac: http://www.pentastarparts.com.au/sunsho ... tail&p=507 That price is probably in AUS $. At current exchange rates, I think that it would be about $30 less in US$, but then there's shipping. |

Aren't those 6-spoke Mopar dampers for cast crnaks only? What do you think about using one of those Mopar 440 RB dampers and adding a 1 groove pulley on the front? |
