Re: Dummy Timing Chain Install Question

The items did all come packaged separately and as you described with the chain and cam marked "made in china".

If you look at the picture, you can tell that it rides at that height evenly on both gears which makes me feel that it's fitting as intended on both or not fitting on either (i'm leaning towards the first). Also, when i rotate it around 10 times, the marks still line up which means the set is keeping the engine in time, which is what matters to me. So riding excessively high doesn't seem to apply. It's still a better option than my old stretched set, now that I've seen how much it has stretched compared to new.

If you like, i can put the old set(s) on a table and stretch it and we can see where the chain rides and then take a straight on shot of the installed set and we can visually compare the ride height. I have to assume, however, if Kanter has been selling sets that fall apart or don't work, we would have heard about it by now. I can't be the only one installing a new timing set in the last 5 years.

And lastly, if i don't get the set from Kanter, who else sells them? Sounds like i'm down on slim options.
