Where are the performance builders getting TS timing chains?

(1/1)

Richard48Y:
My engine build has taken too long, I no longer recall where the new timing chain came from.
But after opening the package it is scrap to me, I never use a timing chain with a master link in it.
Did not expect to find that, the old one did not have a fail-link.
Engine is a Cross-Flow/17TS.
Cheap timing chain is now the last component preventing reassembly.
Looking for a source for the best available timing chain.

jbcollier:
Probably Meca Parts.

Richard48Y:
Only if I want to buy the whole set again.
I already bought the gears and tensioner.
Adjustable cam gear.

GavinT:
I recall buying a "Renold" brand chain, but I don't remember if it was a link type or not.

Living in the antipodes, I likely procured it from a bearing supply or a power transmission outfit. I've generally had luck with these sorts of suppliers and they often have catalogues from all sorts of OEM suppliers.

Richard48Y:
Salv Sacco is sending me an "Endless" chain.
I have no idea where it was made.
Naturally not going to put my old chain on new sprockets.
