YEP!......I agree with Billy on this one!
The stock timing sets on these engines are Junk!.......A good Double Roller
is a good idea!

I usually don't yell but ABSOLUTELY do a timing chain. Stock chains are
really pretty wimpy. I tell people that if you're changing a water pump
etc., any
reason to open up the front of the motor, change the chain when you're in
there even with low mileage. When you pull the stocker off and compare it
to a
decent double roller, you'll understand why.
