Timing set
Hi folks good afternoon:
I'm rebuilding an engine 350 modified. At your experience can you help me to decide which is the best timing set? Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Timing set
When I put the 383 together, used timing gears. I'll say it before everyone jumps in, they were not needed, I just like the sound...
 I agree with the above post that Cloyes double rollers are good, maybe the best. Used various brands in the past and all worked well just not sure what brand are the best. Certainly would not use any off-brand for something that important...

Re: Timing set
Special heads = 461's with 2.02 right?
My next motor I think I want to try a quiet gear drive.

Re: Timing set
gears can be very hard on everything connected to the cam,
lifters, distributor, ect. worse when cold (oil Pump!) noisy Cloyes!!! |

Re: Timing set
I remember some movie way back in the day where a guy drove a C2 corvette convertible across the desert for whatever reason. That car had timing gears and the sound of it is clear as day in my memory. It sounded very cool to me at the time and since then I've thought I would go that route some day. Haven't though
 Anybody got any sound clips? -klb

Every Chevrolet straight 6 has a gear driven camshaft and oil punp through the distributor similar to V8, fake news, nobody ever had an issue with the I6 cam drive but lots of haters on V8 gear drives... |

Re: Timing set
Good idea, but bad execution. the recording isn't worth posting.... Gave it a shot. The gears are just not loud enough to hear. Wouldn't do justice to what you remember from the movie. kind of wonder if the didn't actually record a blower and substitute to sound?
