ROLLMASTER TIMING
For those who demand the very best in timing, ENGINE PARTS CENTERS is proud to offer Rollmaster timing products! This listing
is for a Rollmaster Red Label double roller timing set for 1955-64
Ford 272ci, 292ci, and 312ci Y-block V-8 engines. P/N CS4060.
All
Rollmaster Red Label timing sets are produced using billet steel for
both the crank and camshaft sprockets. Red label sets come with 7 or 9
crankshaft keyway sprockets depending on crankshaft diameter. The
smaller shafts tend to be best suited to 7 crank keyways, Although
engines like Small Block Chevrolets, come with 9 so it allows more
adjustment for dialing in the cam. Crankshaft sprocket keyways are in 2°
increments always; unless otherwise noted. The relationship from crank
keyway to camshaft sprocket timing is 2:1 meaning that the amount of
advance or retard at the camshaft is in one degree increments, i.e. 1°,
2°, 3° or 4°. Multiple keyways are a solid fixture and do not tend to
move or work lose like offset dowels, thus providing a positive locking
of the cam timing to what ever position is desired.
Rollmaster
timing sets are light-weight and stronger than any other timing set
available due to the weight savings of billet steel and CNC machinery.
No additional machining is required to fit these sets or the need for
offset bushings or drilling of cam gears. All Red Label timing sets come
standard with Rollmasterʼs own premium grade Iwis full roller timing
chain.
