Whatever brand you buy, get a top of the line set with true rollers. When we built my Son's 455 4 years ago we were in a hurry to get it together and simply bought a readily available Summit brand double roller setup. Never started the motor in 4 years. We just went through the motor and redid lots of things and noticed a lot of slop in the new, never run timing set. Ordered a brand new Cloyes setup that cost about $ 150 vs the original that cost about $ 60 and the difference is dramatic. The new chain has zero slop and the rollers are true rollers.
This is one area where you get what you pay for.

Damn, that's something I didn't want to hear. I'm glad I got to meet him and Rosie and Rick. I'm proud to have had him as a friend, RIP Johnboy
