[Fot] Dual- row timing gear for small-crank Spitfire?

[fpspitfire at comcast.net]

Scott,



I'm with Rick on this one.B  I've never used or had a double row timing
chain.B  They are more than double the rotating mass.B  why spend all that
money to lighen the crank and rods only to bolt it back on the front of the
engine.B  While I agree the degreeing in of the cam is easier with kent
adjustable, it just isn't worth the cost.



I've never had a timing chain or gear failure...and I can't think of a
spitfire racer who has.

For those of you running the small-crank Spitfire motors, what do you use as a
lower (crank) timing gear when using a two-row timing chain?
