A QUESTION FOR YOU TMF GURUS;-

WHATS THE BEST CAM DRIVE? BELT DRIVE WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE OR DUPLEX GEARS AND CHAIN, THIS IS FOR A 1275 ENGINE WHICH WILL BE MILDLY TUNED ONCE I'VE BUILT IT.

I REALLY CAN'T DECIDE WHETHER TO STICK WITH THE VERNIER BELT DRIVE THAT CAME WITH THE ENGINE OR GO WITH THE CHAIN DRIVE WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS USED IN THE PAST.
CHEERS.

Model:
Year:
Description of problem (please be as in depth as possible):



Any non-standard parts that might be involved with the problem?

Personal opinion, neither...

Not sure if these are made any more but the Kent High velocity chain (or Silent chain) is what I have on mine...

but if they are NLA, then it's horses for courses... they both do the same job at the end of the day.
