He is no bob or anything, but Im sure youd bend over for him as well.

I love zzp

Glad we only used rollmaster and stock so far, tho rollmaster getting purchased by JP doesnt seem to be a good thing. Lets hope Zooms testing of the new ones comes out well.

nice and classy fish

I was kinda pissed that I sold my double roller. I really need to start being one of those people that just saves shit in hope that one day it will be useful.

Wow, good one! I'm sure he could make a little bitch out of you too, at least I'm in shape enough to get away from him...

 

[slowchevy]

damn. that could get nasty.

 

[FlyinGTP]

guess i'm calling zzp tommorow. I have one that i purchased and haven't gotten around to installing it's still in the package.

 

[Yaj Yak]

[smug]

fuck me. well at least the my engine is already out. now i just need to firgure out what timing chaing to get. cause at the bottom it kinda confuses me on how the new shipment of rollermasters are different and more like the JP, so does that mean that they are junk and we should not buy that one too?

James pointed out this issue with the chamfer almost a year ago, these are failing, cause if you don't adjust the chamfer, the gears don't line up and the chain is actually spinning on an angle, this will cause many different kinds of failure........

I believe zoomer said he has 10 of the rollmasters left that they know are good. And he's still looking into the new and different ones. He thinks they are ok but don't want to say until they do some tests and whatnot. So if you do order one you won't get a new one since they won't sell it until they are convinced there will be no problems.

ohhhh ok i get it now. well its a good thing that the engine will be out of commition for a while, i wonder how quickly they are going to try and find a new timing chain/set?????

 

[Fish]

Id call tomorrow and get it ordered and shipped. Last time Zooomer said he had something that wasnt being made in limited stock, it didnt last long. (1" 3.29 sets)

 

[CoolGTX]

ive warned people from the time these came out to stay away, but NOOOOOOOOOO, Johnny was being an asshole righht?

I believe you meant out of commission right? lol

My best guess would be zzp getting those chains ready asap. There's going to be a lot of people changing them out in the next 2-3 months. The people that don't will always have that weighing above their heads until they do. If you do pull yours you would take a couple pics and share with everyone your wear vs mileage results?

we have the JP set on the riv with the clearance work done for the larger american crank fillet, slack brand new was good, and with two GM cover gaskets even with prying the chain towards the oil pump cover we had a min .040 clearance from the longest protruding chain pin.

on thing i really like about the JP set is the 2 piece crank sprocket/oil pump drive, much more material than the one piece multi keyway rollmaster crank gear, if anything i'd want to see the pitch of the rollmaster dbl chainset i have on the shelf will work with the JP gears. if so, great, i guess there's always pucker factor with any heavy build...i know what the new chain crank angle vs lifter/pushrod movment is so i can always pull a valvecover and keep an eye on how much it stretches....(+1 fer checking and spec'n EVERYTHING out when i put this longblock together)....till then we'll be >

i'm glad i have quite a few chain options for my talldeck SI/SII hybrid

besides i'm starting to want to work on a dual keyway crank and broach another in the ATI balancer on the Riv when i finally do the cog belt/mech ic pump/ tensioner stuff...i'm probably gonna want to do the same with the twin M90 UIM motor.

haha ya comission. im horrible with spelling and i know it. i was never good and never will be. haha ohh well.

ya i emailed zzp just a bit ago and when i do swap out my chain i will def take some pics of it and i have put just under 5K miles on that chain so we will have to see what it looks like.

this has zero to do with the chamfer

It's a sub-par chain, period.
