timing chain

been trying to find a full roller chain for my car but haven't found one yet - do you have to get them from dealer or is there someone who makes an aftermarket chain.

it does...with a double roller you have to grind some of the timing cover in order to get it to fit...

You guys are forgetting one "minor" detail. An electrical waterpump conversion is required with a double roller.

Not if you're careful.
You will have to loosen up most of the oil pan bolts to get enough clearance for taking off the timing cover.

If you loosen up those bolts first, you won't screw it up. If you do though, yes, you can change it without jacking up the motor.

how much of the timing cover do you have to grind off to get the cloyes to fit-do you grind it with a dremel tool?

Not much really. I think some didn't have to grind at all.
Dremel will work just fine.
