Horsepower TV
I was watching a TV show today called Horsepower TV. The host went to where they build the GM crate engines. It showed them building the new LS7. The thing that I found kind of weird was it showed them installing the timing chain and the shot they showed it was a single roller. Did any one else happen to catch this show? It’s on Spike TV and will be on again tomorrow. Try to catch it, very interesting!

Cloye made one of the best single roller timming chain around. Absolutly, nothing wrong with that, and many racers will tell you why.

Watched the show today and noticed the single roller sprocket for the timing chain. Looks like an assome engine build system--one person responsible for the entire assembly.

I noticed as well, and also why did they try saving some $ on the rockers, and not use roller tips after all the other extra lengths they went to on the motor and car?
