Default HINSON C7-R Seamless Timing Chain - The strongest single row chain available!

New from HINSON Motorsports



The HINSON C7-R Seamless Roller Timing Chain

Website Link: https://www.hinsonsupercars.com/p-29...ing-chain.aspx

HINSON Motorsports has partnered with IWIS to improve on the famous C5-R timing chain. We are proud to introduce the HINSON C7-R Timing Chain. This new release offers a seamless roller design that offers an improved contact surface on the cam and crankshaft timing gears.



*HINSON C7-R Seamless Roller Timing Chain Close up

The seamless roller design of the HINSON C7-R Timing Chain has been tested by an independent lab to failure. It is the strongest single roller chain available for the GM Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 GM V8 engines. It is stronger than then C5-R seamed roller version that has been popular for so many years.

The best single timing chain available for late model GM applications has arrived!



Every engine builder seeks the highest quality components. Quality is the HINSON C7-R Timing Chain.


Frequently Asked Questions:

1) Will it work on my engine?
These timing chains work on all late model GM Gen 3, 4, and 5 V8 engines. This includes all LS based engines and the new C7 LT1 engine. It can be used in a 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L, 6.0L, 6.2L, and 7.0L engine.

2) Does it work with my existing gears?
The HINSON C7-R timing chain is compatible with all stock length timing chain sets. It can be used with stock or aftermarket timing gears. Additional kits with adjustable gears will be coming soon from HINSON Motorsports.

3) Should I buy the C5-R or C7-R timing chain?
HINSON Motorsports will continue to offer both chains. The C5-R chain has been a foundation of many endurance and high horsepower engines for years. The new seamless C7-R timing chain takes that great history and adds additional strength. If you ask your engine builder, they will all say a seamless chain is better. Just remember that both timing chains will serve you well.

To be clear, then, this is NOT the timing chain found on this car?
