duplex or simplex timing gear for mg n/a cam in a turbo,is it better to have more accurate timing with the duplex or save a bit of wieght (and the revolving mass thing) and just use the single chain.
Will be using normal rockers to start with(cast or a series steel with welded top) then 1.3 rollers eventually

Always duplex! The simplex ones stretch far too much.

Yeh, duplex. You could always lighten it a bit if your that way inclined.

Best put a duplex on then,just thought that with the mildish mg cam a simplex would suffice

It will do the job but i have a new set if you are interested.

Cam timing is free power, just do it right!
