Default Coyds timing chains?

I have a new shortblock that I bought without a cam.
I have a Cam gear with "Hex-adjust" stamped on it. I assume
it is a Cloyds single roller. The timing set is new, but the chain
looks "wimpy". Are the Cloyds single chain any good, or should
I spend the money and install a good double roller?

Thanks!
Russ

For 130.00 you can get a nice Rollmaster double roller. Excellent upgrade!

Hex-A-Just is a Cloyes set. The button is great for degreeing a cam. It is a heavy duty chain. I used the same to degree in my cam (asymmetrical lobes - I thought it would be a good idea to degree it in).

Here is an add from a large Performance Center in the Great State of Texas:


Cloyes LS1 Heavy Duty Timing Set

Price: $329.95



Description:
This Cloyes heavy duty timing set replaces the stock LS1 timing set for added strength and durability. Hex-A-Just system provides accurate timing adjustments for tuning.
