Yes fixturing is done after Jeff's prototype. The prototype wasnt perfect and needed a sleeve here and there but the overall aspect of the piece is astounding.

Ok so I got a little work done, I decided on 2 inch diameter number 25 chain sprockets I couldn't find a supplier that sells double sprockets for 25 chain so I had to make my own.
I got the camshaft side done and the sprocket made for the Moroso Oil Pump.
Notice the fuel pump eccentric is gone foreever as the engine runs the big Aeromotive fuel pump. I had to face off the back of both the camshaft sprocket and the crank sprocket as I needed every thousandth of an inch to get everything to package correctly. At present the timing chain has 15 thousandths clearance between itself and the block.

Drive sprockets and chain

What this whole system was designed to do
(The sprockets and chain are NOT at the final set, they will go back another inch on the cam and oil pump shaft)

And lastly the -12 (3/4") feed line to the block at the oil pressure port

That engine is "packing'' some major equipment!!! :sign12: gonna have to keep it away from the ladies :razz:

Holy Snikeys Batman!! Thats as diabolical looking as anything I have seen !!

Is there going to be any sort of an idler or tensioner on the oil pump chain? I can see a lot of slop with just a little wear on a chain that long.
It does look wicked though. Can't wait to see it buttoned up to see the outside of that cover. :t:

Now that's one thing I've been thinking about for a year, to tension, or not to tension??????
To be honest I'm still not sure.
I've thought of a Nylon rub/tension strip, or a idler sprocket spring tensioned.
At this point anyone have an opinion???
Jeff
ironman_gq
keep it simple like all the ATV guys have done for years and use a rub type tensioner. No bearings or wheels to wear out.
tufcj
I'd opt for a rub type nylon too. Toyota used a hydraulic (worked by the engines oil pressure) rub type nylon on the 20R and 22R engines, and those things ran forever, even with serious abuse.

Will there be enough splash lubrication in that area for a sprocket type tensioner?? The rub style as the guys have pointed out have worked for years, But on a chain that long there will surely be some lateral whipping at speed.. and a sprocket would control that. It would take a very long chain run and break it into three shorter runs..
