Bob, and others,
I have been told by many many Chrysler mechanics and ASE Master techs that
the double roller timing chain will actually decrease power becuase it takes
more energy to actually roll it. So by no means should it be considered a
'hi-po'
item. It will however quiet dow the noise and last longer than a
conventional timing chain.
