Introducing the Edelbrock Performer-Link Timing Chain

If you're looking for a reliable timing chain for your engine, the Edelbrock part #7813 Performer-Link timing chain is just what you need! Designed to work seamlessly with both Edelbrock and stock cams, this timing chain features a solid-bushing design that ensures a true bearing surface. This means it rolls smoothly with the sprockets, effectively eliminating any chain stretch.

Durable Construction

The cam sprockets are crafted from tough cast iron with a tensile strength of 35,000 psi, while the crank sprockets are made from high-quality billet SAE-1144 steel and are induction heat treated for added durability. You can trust that these components are built to last!

Versatile Options

Our Performer-Link sets come as stock replacement parts and are 50-state legal (check our listings for details). For those looking for flexibility, other sets feature three keyway setting points, allowing for precise timing selection whether you're working on an early or late-model vehicle.

Performance Specifications

These timing sets are designed to operate smoothly up to 6500 rpm, making them ideal for your performance needs. Just a heads-up: they are not suitable for use above this rpm limit.

Installation Tips

When it comes to installation, be gentle! Avoid hammering directly on the chain or sprockets, as this can lead to cracking. Instead, consider using a sleeve for any installations that require a bit of force. If you need to use a hammer, a brass drift punch can work, just be sure to alternate your blows to keep everything aligned.

Alignment Matters

Before reassembling, always check for clearance between the timing chain and the block, as well as between the chain and the front cover. Double-check that both the cam and crank sprockets are perfectly aligned. Misalignment can lead to chain breakage, and we want to avoid that!

With the Edelbrock Performer-Link timing chain, you’re choosing a product that combines quality, durability, and precision—everything you need for a successful engine build!
