Re: Dummy Timing Chain Install Question

+1 on double roller timing sets. They're the only type i've worked with previously and why i was ignorant on the ride height of the replacement timing set. Every time i've installed a double roller it looked like it rode lower. Learn something new every day!

My only complaint about Kanter is their shipping policies. I bought the ultramatic rebuild kit with my timing set and it was $60 to ship it, although it was closer to an $18 UPS box. I know back in the day you didn't have access to instant shipping quotes to give a customer a total on the phone, but with today's systems that has changed and you can usually bill actual shipping price (plus a couple % for margin/leeway).

I think i will be happy with the timing set, and i like the replacement water pump from Kanter because it seems to have 2 shoulders on the end to support both old and modern fans (the big 4 blade fan had a larger center hole, now i can run a modern flex fan.) I didn't check the water pump recently (it was a year ago that i got it) but i do remember that being a pleasant surprise.

The knowledge from the people there when i ask questions has always been spot on and friendly, and it's been great having fred post knowledge they have so that we can see why things are done the way they are.
