contemplating diving into a timing chain replacement. I do not know the history of my engine, and if it is original, it is about time for the chain to be replaced, and I have had some questionable power concerns lately, and a new timing chain would take one item out of my mind as to a culprit. I may end up pulling the fuel pump and checking the chain prior to doing the job, but timing is always a bugger, so I might order the parts, in case when I check I find fault.


Anyway - lots say double roller, and I might go that way, but I see no fault in a single OEM type replacement. What is the part number or the chain to buy? I know I could go to applied and I might in the end, but looking to possibly source locally in case I decide to dive in saturday.


Second question, I have read some people discuss about advancing it 4 degrees. Pro's/Con's/experience with that? I am normally Keep it stock and simple type guy, and I am not sure I am willing to do that, but I am curious about that option.
