Re: [Amc-list] Fw: 258 engine mods

Me, too.
I run a factory single roller chain in mine.
I had a couple of new ones left over from my days working as a tech.
They last darn near forever!
I pulled one shortblock down at 60K and there is no more play in it then in the new one!
I have two shortblocks in the garage for cores, both with unknown higher mielage on them.
Both chains are still good!
RM, would let me clean them and reinstall them with out a second thought!
In fact, if anyone wants one, I'll send it out for shipping!
It'l fit in a $8.95 postal box no sweat, so $10.00 will cover a trip to the post office to send it out.
