Clevite makes timing chains for our J's?

OEM replacements, yes.

OP: Check out the '82 swap.

Instructions can be found in here. It doesn't mention that the cam gear needs to be machined for the hydraulic roller cam. The core was different between the cams, but the timing remained the same.

Okay, Jack... How does it need to be machined?

Go beyond the "bolt-on".

While we're on the subject, does anyone have so much as an idea why the factory chain fails around 100,000mi when this engine is used in the S-truck app, yet seems to last forever in the J-cars?

Go beyond the "bolt-on".
