Vigilante offers Timing Chain and Gear Drives from a variety of manufacturers. Timing Chain Sets from Rollmaster will suit virtually any application and level of performance while Innovators West Belt Drives will fill in where a high-end alternate solution is required.
Rollmaster Timing Sets are produced using nitrided K1045 Billet Steel for both the crank and camshaft sprockets, unless otherwise noted. Timing chain sets have either 7 or 9 keyways, allowing 1° camshaft timing adjustment. Rollmaster IWIS chains are constructed with .375 Pitch with .250 diameter rollers. Line Bore Sets are available in .002” - .005” - .010’ oversize.
Rollmaster Gold sets are nitrite hardened and include a one-piece Torrington bearing with an IWIS chain. Most have 9 way adjustable crank gears, providing 1° cam timing adjustments.
Replacing your timing chain with a VPE Dual Gear Drive Set requires little or no machining. VPE steel alloy gears add longevity and Axial needle and cage thrust bearings and or/silicon bronze bushings will reduce friction. Unlike timing chains, gear drives will not stretch or wear prematurely under extreme conditions. Best of all. offset bushings allow for easy cam indexing and timing changes.
All new design Camshaft Belt Drive Systems from Innovators West feature an aluminum machined cover with optional billet or tumble finish, anodized precision machined pulleys and top quality Super Torque belt. All models include an adjustable idler pulley eccentric for maintaining proper belt tension. Camshaft timing is externally adjustable via the 2 piece top pulley with a 10° degree range
and cam thrust is controlled with Torrington Needle Bearings.
