Timing chain upgrade?
I just got done changing the oil and noticed that the front oil seal was leaking. While I'm in there fixing the seal, I'm thinking about changing out the timing chain as well. It's got 85,000 miles on it, so I figure it's about due and I'm in there anyway.
Is there a good upgrade to the stock chain / sprockets, or should I just stick with a new stock set? It's a stock engine and the car's not raced, so I don't need anything too crazy.
And before anyone else says it, I'm already looking at the underdrive pulleys as well.
Thanks,
John

When I get to that point I think I'm going to try the N-Motion single roller chain set that Scoggin Dickey sells #SD7140. It's got the encapsulated Torrington bearing, seamless rollers, billet gears and looks like a good set up for a single chain.
