Is there a double roller timing chain setup that fits the 2001 cam and block with retainer plate?
Or do I have to use an early or aftermarket cam with the older style spring and button?
Mopar P5249519 fits 1983-98
Cloyes 9-3127 fits 1964-93 or 87-98
Rollmaster CS7100 no app data
JP Performance JP5629 no app data
Thanks!

I have not been able to find one. I did opt for a Melling OEM equivilent p/n 3-3855B Timing Chain Kit.

There is no double roller for the later cam design.

Re: Double roller chains on 2001 block/cam
Thanks guys!
The original chain had quite a bit of slack after only 107k miles. Would've liked to replace it with something better.
If I decide to change cams, then I'll go with a roller chain...

I don't know that you can use the older design camshaft with that block (Thrust Plate) to enable you to use a double roller timing chain. Let us know how that works out or perhaps someone can tell me different and then I will
for not going that way as well.

Re: Double roller chains on 2001 block/cam
You can use an earlier cam shaft in the later blocks. Just remove the thrust plate and use and earlier timing set, cam bolt, spring and pin. I do recommend replacing the spring with a solid pin and setting the cam thrust manually.

Well I am hopeful that the OEM timing chain set up will be sufficient for my "Modified Poor Man's" 4.6L STROKER using stock camshaft and head.
