How much sideways movement should there be in a timing chain?

My original 998's chain seemed to have sh!tloads of movement.... :?

Double sounds good.

NO, It should have pretty minimal movement. Too much movement and the timing would be all over the shop. Variable cam timing in a bad way!
Double row is the way to go. $7 for the chain. Kazjim may have one left. Thats where i got mine for th clubby, when i get round to it.

Cheers

Best way to check is Flex it between both hands at each end...Like a Wobbel Board...(I don't Know but it works)...Or Close the sides to gether, Eye Level and see how much the chain flex..Should not be to much for a good chain.... :arrow: Measurment :?:
I think you may have to by one anyway..re-assurance Things :?

i reckon the movement of mine was about 15-20mm all up, from one side to the other! :shock:

I knew straight away it wasn't right....

Yes, the motor ran like a dog!!!!!

If buying duplex chain, it is all crap these days ( read.. loose) except the endless Iwis race chain. That is good stuff but at around $60 it better be. If you can get it.:wink:

I run a toothed belt drive, but even they are made in China now and are crap too- very flimsy. So I put the old Dayco one back on until I get some decent kevlar race ones from the states. 8)

Not much to choose. I would have thought the AE chain would be tighter than it is.
I used to get Renolds duplex chain from work years ago- now that was good chain! and cheap toooo..... :lol:

How are you going to source the belts? I need one as well. Did you find a number? I haven't been able to chase it up due to not being able to drive for six weeks after my op.
