TIMING
SYSTEM
DOUBLE ROLLER & REPLACEMENT
TIMING SETS
TA High Performance O.E.M. approved timing sets provide the ultimate
in high performance and durability.
All Chains used are of the highest quality. These chains
incorporate a solid roller design which provides a true bearing surface that increases
both chain and sprocket life.
The cam sprockets are manufactured from high tensile strength cast
iron, machined to exacting tolerances insuring a proper fit. Both cam and crank
sprockets utilize a larger tooth profile for superior strength and the highest in
performance. Crankshaft sprockets are machined from SAE-1144 stress proof steel, and the
teeth are induction hardened. The crank sprockets also incorporate three keyways
(0°,-4°,+4°) to allow for accurate timing selection. These advantages make TA's
High Performance Double Roller Timing sets the high quality answer to your performance
needs.
Note: Stock Replacement sets are single row
and incorporate an all steel gear design as opposed to the original nylon coated gear
design.

TA STEEL BILLET DOUBLE
ROLLER TIMING CHAINS 
This timing set is the ultimate in double roller timing sets!
The difference is accuracy. No more problems degreeing cams because these billet
timing sets have nine keyways (0°,2°,4°,6°,8° advance and retard) for precision
timing selection.
The cam and crank sprockets are machined from high grade steel -
stronger than the cast iron sprockets. They utilize a true roller type chain made of
the highest quality and matched paired sprockets for precise chain fitment.
These chain sets are also available in
.002", .004", .005",
.006", .008" and .010"
over size for engines that have been align honed. Please specify if needed.
--- We are the only ones
offering the timing sets with the increments stamped on the crank gear to
ease installation!

Replace worn or stretched timing chains with the highest quality
replacement double roller timing chain. Solid roller design increases both chain and
sprocket life.

ADVANCE AND
RETARD GEARS
TA
now has special crankshaft gears with nine keyways, 0°,2°,4°,6°,8° plus or minus for
advancing or retarding your camshaft. Unlike offset crank keys which not only alter
the timing mark location, but throw the engine completely our of balance which can cause
severe damage. Offset keys will advance or retard the cam and the balancer at the
same time, and don't forget that Buick engines are externally balanced.
TA's new steel billet advance and retard gears will allow anyone to
degree the cam in their engine for maximum performance by moving the cam in 2° increments
for track testing.

manufacturer's double roller sets. |
TIMING COVERS
Don't neglect an important part of your engine. The timing
cover was designed to perform a number of functions. It holds the water pump, fuel
pump and distributor, it houses the oil pump, covers the timing set, and it seals the
crankshaft.
Recommended for all engine rebuilds if stock cover shows signs of
wear. Cast timing covers are direct replacements for worn stock timing covers.
All timing covers are carefully inspected for tolerances in oil pump area. We
recommend using a TA oil pump kit when replacing the timing cover.
