If they last forever why would one find on a search how to test them? Hear is one article on them stretching: As chain driven cams accumulate mileage, chain stretch and gear wear introduce slop into the system. Most chains will go up to 100,000 miles or more, but not always. As a rule, when...

I knew you raced! But you are the one that said they last forever! Why are you changing your story now???????????????

Here is a link to a thread that has the Federal Highway specs for over the road banners! If you did not follow this then you just may be liable if the next one fails and someone get injured!

Its called wearing...wearing and stretching are two different things. Maybe in your mind but ask any mechanical engineer and they will tell you that it is stretching. stretching is when something gets longer! Also if a timing chain will last forever why to you have those in stock for...

If you measure the length of the chain with tight links and loose links the length of the chain is greater with the loose links, so what does that mean? If it isn't stretching then what is it? And if you want something to last forever in you Chevy motor then use one of these setups!!! Also...

Happy Birthday Steph, :toasting: have a great one :birthday: :toasting:

What do you think a worn link causes? STRETCHING! Every chain and cable stretch, some faster than others! Also if they didn't wear out you wouldn't find them in parts stores! Ask any ASE mechanic and they will tell you they stretch and wear out, even the gears wear where the chain will...

I disagree with you on this being I have changed a few for freinds. The chains stretch and the gears to get worn. They will outlast any timing belt! I have been working on vehicles since the mid 1970's. 230,000 miles is chump change on one of those engines as long as it is maintained properly.

If someone replaces the timing belt and doesn't change the tensioner they are just an inexperienced mechanic! And timing chains also go bad, that 1985 motor most likely have plastic gears unless it has already been changed!

Most titles have a letter in front of them stating owner changes. I would have the timing belt changed, that is most likely the reason the person traded it in, didn't want to pay to have it changed and knew they are know to go around that mileage.

He was most likley passed out under his desk :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Try to go back to a store for a refund and tell them you though it out and see what you get! She is definately a rip-off artist or at least think she is:rolleyes:

Happy Birthday Gino :birthday: Now don't do this too much this weekend :toasting::bushmill::doh:

Tony look at all the info plates on all the items you want to run. If they give you wattages just add them up. If not watts= Amps x voltage. I would add 15% at a minimum to this figure and choose my generator with that figure! 6000 watts = 50 amps at 120v and 25 amps at 240v.

Welcome to the forums from PA. OllllO

Glad to see you made it through it also Marleen! News said Vermont got hammered, so good to see you seemed to have faired well.
