hi,
i am installing a csi electric waterpump and new timing chain.
now that i have a electric water pump its not cam driven, does that bear anything on the size or style of timing set? i heard now i can use a cloyes double roller set up or one similar. is this correct?

can some one help me choose a timing set or let me know which one there using with a electric wp

thanks,
josh

 

Go with the Cloyes. It will work with the CSI just fine plus it's not too expensive.

 

thanks mad wolf,
would you possibly know the part number for one, or possibly where to get one?

i looked in the summit catalog and the only one they had for a sbc said {except factory roller cam} is that the one i need to get?
$67.95 ??

thanks for your help,
josh

 

Not sure about Summit's part number, but Combination Motorsports carry it.... linky.

 

Don't you also need a vented opti, and a cam with the nose drilling to do that on a 94?

 

Yes, because the Cloyes cam gear does not have the drive splines to run the non-vented opti.

 

Ooops, I didn't pay attention that he had a 94.... Yes, there is not much choice on a 94 as far as the timing chain goes, without a vented opti conversion.
Best thing you could do without converting is getting a new stock chain and new cam/crank sprockets.

Lunati also makes a replacement chain that would work on your car (summit carries it) but nobody here tried it yet...

 

how hard is it to change to a vented opti? would it be worth my time and how much money does that take.

someone said something about drilling the cam?
im confused

I'd save that for when you do a cam install.
You will need a cam with a longer dowel pin to drive the opti, you will need a vented opti, vented opti harness, vented opti vacuum harness, 95 timing cover and of course, the chain and sprockets.
