michaeldavis39 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Can anyone point me to a supplier for an Iwis timing chain for my TR6 please - i have looked online with no luck so far. Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hi Michael, This may be of no use to you but Moss sell two type of timing chain for the TR4. The cheap one at about £11 and a better one for £42 supposedly made in Germany (it does not mention IWIS) The TR6 chain is about £8 but they mention no better quality. Why not give them a call.

Z320 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Hi Michael, I got the IWIS for my 4A from Robert Babor / Germany. He has a British car repair shop near Heidelberg / Mannheim and offers a range of special TR parts. www.racinggreen.com Why not ask him and buy a German product at Germany (disregarding customs problems)?

Andy Moltu Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Have there been any issues with the standard timing chains? I know there were problems with the tensioners a while back but have there been a spate of broken or stretched chains? Stretching might, over time upset the cam timing I guess. Failure would be a nuisance but not catastrophic as there aren't interference engines so no risk of valves and pistons meeting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerrytr5 Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Yes, regular ones cut through the tensioner. +1 for The chain man Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 The cheaper chains I've seen have sharp edges on the side plates which potentially give the tensioner a hard time. The more expensive ones seem to have nicely deburred plates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Lazy manufacturing, the good chains links have been through a tumbler to remove those nasty sharp edges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
