Edelbrock Performer-Link True Roller Timing Chain Set for 396-454 C.I. V8 Big-Block Chevy Engines.
Maintaining accurate camshaft timing is important for dependable performance. Edelbrock crafted this Performer-Link timing chain set to accommodate 396-454 C.I. V8 big-block Chevys. By using a double-roller and solid-bushing chain design, it reduces friction and chain stretching. This makes it stronger than the worn factory counterparts while maintaining the direct-fit design. The adjustable crank sprocket then allows precise camshaft timing selection.

Tech Tips:
- Never hammer directly on the timing chain or sprockets.
- Use a sleeve or brass drift punch if installation impact is required.
- Do not stretch the chain with a screwdriver.
- Verify camshaft and crankshaft sprockets are perfectly aligned to prevent chain failure.
Please Note: Always verify clearance between the timing chain, cam sprocket, and engine block prior to final assembly. On some later-model blocks, clearance behind the cam sprocket should be checked at the 12 o'clock position to ensure the chain clears oil galley bosses. Clean the engine block thoroughly before installation.
