I have seen the factory single roller chain at 100k miles with less slack than a good double roller chain after just break-in time.

I would think it would be easier to dial in the cam with the Cloyes unit versus the factory one.

If singles are that darn tough then why does everyone get doubles?

What single chain would you reccomend for a solid roller SBC?
