Billet True Roller Tmng Set - SBC w/BBC Snout

The Billet True Roller Timing Set for SBC with BBC Snout from CLOYES represents precision-engineered timing chain technology designed for serious engine builders and high-performance small-block Chevy applications. This double-roller timing set bridges the gap between stock reliability and race-ready durability, making it ideal for street/strip builds, supercharged platforms, and any application where valvetrain stability matters. The BBC snout configuration allows flexibility for builders transitioning between engine families or running hybrid combinations without sacrificing synchronization accuracy.

Constructed from billet steel with true roller technology, this timing set eliminates the wear patterns inherent in leaf-spring cam followers found on stock designs. The double-roller chain configuration reduces friction and wear while distributing loads more evenly across the sprocket teeth—a critical advantage under sustained high-RPM operation or when running radical cam profiles. The three-keyway adjustable design permits fine-tuning of ignition and injection timing without requiring multiple sprocket purchases, accommodating everything from stock timing to advanced curves for carbureted or EFI platforms. The inclusion of a thrust washer prevents lateral chain walk, protecting against gear lash and premature sprocket degradation common in stroker or extended-deck applications.

This timing set benefits engine builders undertaking complete restorations, performance upgrades, or original small-block Chevy rebuilds where longevity and tuning flexibility are non-negotiable. The BBC snout compatibility makes it valuable for those running aftermarket blocks or mixed-platform combinations, eliminating the need for costly adapter kits. Installation requires standard timing cover removal and basic engine familiarization; the adjustable keyway system rewards builders who invest time in dialing in optimal valve overlap and spark advance for their specific fuel, aspiration, and compression setup.
