Danke, Herr Ratsch!
<snip> (1) Calipers - Napa carries a quality set of "loaded" calipers (pads
come
with it - ready to install)
(2) Timing Chain - Edelbrock and Cloyes both make a good dbl-row true roller
chain that is easy to install, costs about $50, and is not as confusing
(timing mark wise) as the Mopar (the Mopar is a good chain though). Make
sure you install a new tensioner. Some have said that the roller chains
wear out the tensioner - this is far from the truth as I've seen dbl-roller
chains with the factory tensioner installed and with anywhere from 20-50K
miles on the engine and no excessive wear on the tensioner pad (did cam
changes on most of them).
I personally use the Cloyes Heat Treated Dbl-Row/True Roller timing chain
set with the factory tensioner. When I had to rebuild my engine (oops -
again), I reused the chain and tensioner as neither were worn out at all
(about 42K on the engine at that time). Chain is about $80 and tensioner is
about $40 from the dealership (P/N: 53021195AA).<snip>
