- Opinions please? I'm in the act of rebuilding the 18V engine in my 77B. The option of reverting to a double row timing chain keeps coming up. The goal of the rebuild is reliable commuting for the nex

- Logic says the double-row chain should last longer but one has to remember that the factory would not have made the change to a single-row chain if they expected it to fail within a noticeably short

- Lawrie: Sorry, but you are using your British Logic not BMC Logic. Motor became "cheaper" to production line build. Therefore, (sorry again<G>), I disagree. Cheers............. Ed

- That doesn't counter the fact that, although they found a single-row set-up cheaper, they would not have introduced it unless they felt it could last, at the very least, the 50K miles that the EPA te

- When I rebuilt my B engine last winter, I replaced both sprockets and the chain. I used the double-row components because I'm convinced that they'll last longer than the single row parts. The cost d

- No matter what you do, if you are rebuilding the engine, it would be foolish and risky not to replace the timing chain and gears. The decision to go with a double or single row chain is up to you. Fo

- OOPS, the prices I quoted were from an old catalogue. The latest Moss catalogue is a bit different. Now it's a difference of $7.75, with the double-row parts still the cheapest. There was a big drop
