ROLLMASTER L98, LS3, L76, L77, LS7 TIMING CHAIN SET
YOUR CHOICE OF SINGLE OR DOUBLE ROW (SPECIFY ON CHECKOUT)
Manufactured to exacting standards Rollmaster timing chain sets are available to suit all budgets.
All Timing Chain Sets are made from billet steel, have 9 Keyways (unless otherwise stated) and have a heat treated crank sprocket. Red Series: billet steel set with induction hardened crank gear
When installing any new timing componentry we recommend using a degree wheel to set perfect timing. Use RM5720. Red Label Premium and Extra Premium Timing Sets: All Red Label timing sets are produced using billet steel for both the crank and camshaft sprockets. The grades of materials used are mentioned further down this page. Premier sets are nitride hardened and include a one-piece Torrington and Iwis chain. Red label sets come with 7 or 9 crankshaft keyway sprockets depending on crankshaft diameter. The smaller shafts tend to be best suited to 7 crank keyways, although engines like Small Block Chevs etc come with 9 so it allows more adjustment for dialing in the cam. Crankshaft sprocket keyways are in 2 degree increments always unless otherwise noted. The relationship from crank keyway to camshaft sprocket timing is 2:1 meaning that the amount of advance or retard at the camshaft is in one degree increments, IE 1, 2, 3 or 4 degrees. Multiple keyways are a solid fixture and do not tend to move or work lose like offset dowels, thus providing a positive locking of the cam timing to what ever position is desired. Rollmaster timing sets are light weight and stronger than any other timing set available due to the weight savings of billet steel and CNC machinery. No additional machining is required to fit these sets or the need for offset bushings or drilling of cam gears. All Red Label timing sets come standard with Rollmaster?s own premium grade Iwis full roller timing chain. Every small and big block Chev comes standard with a brass thrust washer and is available with an optional one-piece Torrington thrust bearing. You will find Rollmaster has included brass thrust washers to most of our range including Ford for increased performance and reliability. Where possible our one-piece Torrington thrust bearings can be applied to most of our range of timing sets and listings are noted accordingly in our catalogue. Notice our Nitrated harder timing sets and those fitted with Torrington?s, compared to the standard billet steel sets.
