Timing Chain Kit
Any suggestions on a good quality affordable timing chain kit for a NA lowport SR20DE? Thanks!

Also, the motor has about 165,000mi on it, the chain nor guides are making noise and seem tight, so this would be more of a preventative maintenance install. More than likely reccommended but is it neccessary?

it seems to me that a 40k mile (like new) JDM highport would be a better option.. just sayin.........

They usually go for $500 shipped.... have higher compression.. and a lot less miles than what you have on your car.

that would definitely be a better option than a $300 kit

yeah, i can't imagine a quality kit that would be much less.... I'm not sure though as I've never even thought of replacing my timing chain.
