Single Non Roller vs Double Roller Timing Sets

[davbell22602]

I wanna know which better on a stock engine? Which is better for small block or big block?

I voted Double, I don't care if you're building a stock plant or a high power plant. The extra cost is nothing for peace of mind.

Roller chains have less friction and than non roller chains correct?

Also I'd use a double, your a lot less likely to snap a double chain vs. a single although you may never experience breaking a single its worth the extra peace of mind.

I had a water pump that could have passed for a gear drive once.
