What is the Difference between a single roller timing chain and a double roller timing chain i got a 1976 chevy camaro 305 and i need a new timing chain and gears what is the difference between a single and double roller

 

I'm a little surprised nobody got back to you on this. I just replaced the timing chain on my '71, let me say "I know very little about cars", aside from that I had some help from my uncle, who knows a lot more than I do. He said definitely go with the double roller, so I did. The difference is hard to put into words exactly, other than its literally two chains instead of just one. I'm guessing by now you've gone to the auto parts store and looked at the difference. From what I understand the double roller is much stronger and will last longer.

go here to see the pic of the chain and gears

 

Oh wow, that's pretty bad. Did you get out all the broken pieces?

 

WOW that was pretty bad! I'm surprised it can even get that worn and still work at all. I'm gonna go with, changing it was probably a good idea

 

ya i got the broken peices out and ya im surprised it ran also getting the crank gear on though was a pain...i got the gears on now tryin to get the chain on right is hard since i still ahve the engine in the car and getting the harmonic balancer back on with out stripping the crank threads will be hard also...I wish one of you guys lived close to me so you can help haha

 

DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT drive the harmonic damper on using your crank bolt. Use the proper installation tool, and you won't damage the threads. Autozone will loan the tool out to you.
