I'm looking for a adj. timing chain for a 95 TA. I want to be able to degree the cam in case of inaccuracies in the cam grind or elsewhere that might effect valve event accuracy. I've looked all over. I have an LT4 chain now, don't know if it's the extreme duty or not. I don't think it's adj. Any help would be great, thanks.

 

could always go with a gen 1 set and an electric waterpump...

 

I THINK you can drill out the pin hole and use bushings to get the necessary offset.

 

just remember when you degree a lt1 camshaft you are also moving your timing that much, that is why the new msd opti has a timing adjustment to bring your timing back to where it should be

 

Reread his question? He wants to CORRECT for any inaccuracies he finds in which case he will be actually correcting timing as well.
He did not say he wanted to apply a halfassed bandaid to bad cam selection by advancing or retarding the cam, in which case you would have a valid point.

they say that the timing is adj advanced/retard up to 4* so i assume this is what ur talking about

they are rather expensive

 

Where to find the Gen 1 set? Anybody, off the top of their head.

Will any Gen 1 double roller timing set fit behind a 95 and later timing cover without grinding?

I used a Cloyes Hex-A-Just for 87+ SBC's. It worked great, but be warned that you'll need to grind down the bushing to make it work properly with the 95+ opti. If you don't grind it down it sticks too far out on the dowel and won't let the opti seat properly. Oh and you'll have to clearance the timing cover a little bit too.

 

Thanks for the links and input gentlemen(and ladies?) Very helpful.

 

So, a Cloyes Hex-A-Just will work w/ a little bit of grinding? Do I have to run an electric water pump? I know I sound dumb, but I've never done this before...thanks!

 

You have to run an electric water pump with any timing chain besides th stock LT1 chain, LT4 chain, or LT4 Extreme duty chain.

 

how do you plug the hole

 

Have a shop weld it shut with a small coupon, about the size of a quarter.
