Performer-Link Timing Chain 1955-86 SB Chevy 265-400
Performer-Link timing chain is for use with Edelbrock or stock cams. They have a solid-bushing chain for a true bearing surface that rolls with the sprockets, eliminating chain stretch. Cam sprockets are made from 35,000 psi tensile strength cast iron. Crank sprockets are made from billet SAE-1144 steel and induction heat treated. Four Performer-Link sets are stock replacement parts and 50-state legal. All other sets have three keyway setting points to ensure accurate timing selection for early or late-model vehicles. Performer-Link timing sets are not for use above 6500 rpm bull; Performer roller chain sets are engineered to operate up to 6500 rpm. bull; Never hammer directly on chain or sprockets. You can crack the hardened links and pins and cause early failures. bull; Use a sleeve for installations that require hammering, a brass drift punch may be used if you carefully alternate blows on either side of the sprocket to avoid cocking. bull; Never stretch the chain with a screwdriver. bull; Check for clearance between the timing chain and block and between the chain and front cover before reassembly. bull; Be sure that both cam and crank sprockets are exactly in line with each other. Misalignment can cause chain to break.
