I see Rimmers sell a conversion kit,to convert single chain to Duplex,is the Duplex chain harder wearing ? and is there enough room behind the timing cover to get it in ? Dave |

AlunThanks,I was really thinking about 1850 / TR7 is it a worth while mod to do, do Duplex chains last longer ? Dave |

You cant fit duplex to slant unless the deeper timing cover is used and the double sprockets wont fit in standard cylinder head area. The duplex conversions apply to OHV engines where there is space. Tony |

Is there any real advantage of fitting a duplex timing chain to an OHV engine or will it just increase the timing chain noise? |

On a std engine of no use. It will only cause a mariginal loss of hp.Jeroen |

On the six cylinder engines, the 2 litre was simplexwhereas the 2.5 duplex. On the T2000 it was common to uprate their 2 litre engines because the duplex chain is much longer lasting. If there is increased noise I haven't heard mention of it. I don't have the part numbers to check, but I think the four cylinder and six cylinder 2.0 timing gear is identical. Something to consider is the tensioner, Chris Witor doesn't have OE. The replicas only last a fraction of the time https://www.chriswitor.com/proddetail.php?prod=145866RP Ian. |

The replacement engine I'm (slowly... 2 years in!) building for the Spitfire (1500) will have a duplex chain and vernier timing gear for 2 reasons.... 1) I have trust issues with some replacement parts (ie. timing chains) with regard to quality. 2) I intend to tune and thrash the nadgers off the engine once it's finally complete. |
