coln72 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 From memory, 5k's only had single row timing chains. That said, I never had an issue with it over the years I ran 5k's. Quote
springersrolla Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 sweet no worrys, ive just got a light rattle on start up hence the need to find a chain, but if you've run stock for years, don't fix whats not broke, ill chase a single row chain with slight grind and go from there cheers Quote

Des Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I was qouted $118 for a roll master double row timing chain kit. Quote
GJM85 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I payed $130 for a Powerdrive 4k timing kit. They didn't believe me when I ordered it and told them what it was going on. They had to look it up and confirm it for themselves. Beenleigh Bearings WILL NOT sell you the wrong stuff. That's why I go there. Edited January 21, 2011 by GJM85 Quote
