Re: double roller timing chain
Well it's really not a mod by itself. Only need the double roller chain if you are changing your valve springs to a higher seat pressure (130#+ or the ls6 90#) along with an aftermarket camCheck out my cardomain site!<br /><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/99pewterv6\" target=\"_blank\">My Car</a>

Re: double roller timing chain
Its just a chain that is 'thicker' meaning it looks like two chains in one.
See this pic
The reason you add the double roller chain is to eliminate the chain tensioner on the stock single chain. The dampener is just plastic and will wear out quicker with the higher springs pressure.Check out my cardomain site!<br /><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/99pewterv6\" target=\"_blank\">My Car</a>
