Huh? I've used Cloyes over the years on not only Mopar engines...but many
others. Never had a problem with them (mine has well over 30K on it).
CompCams, Edelbrock, and Mopar also work well.
The factory tensioner is a good idea as even the brand new blocks have
"slop" in them causing any new chain to be slightly looser than normal.

Cloyes. BAD. I've seen several disintegrate for no apparent reason.
Rollmaster is great if you can find it. My next choice is the Comp Cams
3103. The
tensioner will work either.
