"My one friend who's an aircraft mech for years, did a bunch of rolls engines and other race engines for pylon racing, swears by the old link-type sets."
I got away from them for a few years, now back to using them again. The Rollmaster and similiar offerings only advantage are the ease of cam movements.
Back to using offset cam/crank keys again, but you just can't beat the constant tooth contact, and strength of the wide linkplate stock type timing sets.
Besides, with roller cammed engines, a lot less work load for the timing set right to start with, they should last just about forever!.....Cliff
