Many of those dual-roller chains will gain slack as the roller axles wear in. The double rollers give up a bit of accuracy to gain adjustability and strength for pulling big cams against stiff springs.

I always degree a cam when I install it. I start dot-to-dot, and install it with the cam gear dot at the 6 oclock position and crank gear dot at 12" to make it easier to eyeball the dots really are lined up.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
