is the dual row chain kit worth the money? what are the advantages of it.seems like the single row does a pretty good job

You will loose some hp with the two row. Probably less than 10 hp I would guess. Just takes more work to turn the extra chain. Dont know of any advantages.

Greater strength, longer service interval.

I had a single row chain jump a tooth.

Now this was at ~5k RPM and the chain had broken guides and about 100k on it so all in all I can't complain.

I have a dual row setup on mine, PO installed it, rest of the motor is stock. Supposed to last much longer than the single row setup. As far as loss of hp's i didnt feel any difference when comparing it to my buddy's 4x4 stock 22re with single row timing chain. Got over 20k on dual row TC, everything looks nice and tight.

>>>*We tested years ago. The results were 6-8 H/P loss from drag. The gains were from more surface area at wear points, thus longer service life.

Pull strength in reversions testing came up zero difference, there is no difference in strength. It is wear points that make the difference, and this is actually quite a bit.

If you don't like opening her up every 120,000 miles or so, which is normal single setup service then the dual roller can be a good investment.

Also a good investment if your use is severe, racing, mud running, etc. You sacrifice a few ponies for being still running at the checkered flag....*EB

ok thanks guys.I think Ill stick with the single row for my needs.just a dd a little offroad on the weekend

So how much mileage should i be able to get out of the dual TC before i should think about changing it?

Almost have 15k miles on my current dual row setup. I'll let you know when it wears out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well i know you'll get atleast 22k on it without any probs....thats where im at <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
