Counting cam chain needs (new improved)
09/05/07 at 03:59:33
Lancer and I are considering an arrangement with Morse to have them build a better cam chain for us. The chain would be an "improvement on initial pin wear characteristics" which is all we need as we never wear the pins on a chain more than about a thousandth before we just plain run out of adjustment range.
Before we can pursue it, we need a straw count of how many chains would be involved in the special run and if it can be done at all at that volume.
Post below if you are interested in getting an improved chain. We can't get any price unless we know about how many chains -- Morse will divide up their set up costs among the chains they do during the special run.
Just post below if you are interested in a better chain. A stock chain costs $90 with shipping, so "rough plan" that this one will cost $110-$120.
Post your interest below so we can count the chains.

Count me in. And one of the chain tensioners too.

Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

Dealing with the cam chain and tensioner is one of those "have to do" things, it's not a matter of if but when. So if you are not having to deal with it now then you certainly need to plan ahead for when you will have to address the issue...hopefully before the tensioner gives out.
Step up and take a number and maybe, with a little favor from God, we could even save a buck.

I'm in, along with all the other cam-chain parts too (adjuster, tensioner).

I think I'll let you folks run with that. I think the cryogenic treatment is cheaper & will offer grand longevity. The only way to know which is the better aproach is for folks to go dofferent directions & see.My plan is to replace the guides & extend the spring loaded tensioner so it will be compressed into the sleeve instead of poking out so far with the new chain.

Oldfeller-
I would be interested in purchasing 1 of the improved cam chains for the $110 to 120 range; hopefully enough people can sign on to make it available for this reasonable cost considering the potential improvement.

I've been considering the cryo treatment but would be buying a new stock chain for that anyway, when the time comes. That said, I don't think it would be much cheaper than this chain, if it's cheaper at all. I'm not real sure about the graph shown though. I can't read it all that well due to its resolution, but it looks like they are saying the performance is improved under ugly oil conditions. How much difference is there when pure synthetic is used and changed more often than recommended?

I'm afraid I'm going to pass on this opportunity for a "better" cam chain. Thanks anyway.

Wish I could afford it since I am getting a new one anyway, unfortunately I can't. Maybe next time.
