camchian - two pitches?

Taffy · Aug 13, 2008

i need to get to the bottom of this so come on you lot - help me!

someone has implied that there are two different pitches going on here with these camchains?

we have 3/8ths right? well i believe there maybe another pitch involved in all this?

i'm getting all kinds of chain sent to me and one will be slack and another as tight as a drumskin!

i did a comparison of camchains last year when i changed my stock iwis for a did. i wasn't happy with the slack of the did and got a regina. all 3 had the same pitch, but the widths were different on all 3, causing a difference in the way they bed on the tensioner slipper and causing some to be more slack than others. all 3 had the same identical pin to pin measurements, thus the same pitch. that's my story and i'm stickin' with it

i've put a new chain next to an old one and the new one was longer than the old one!

something isn't right!

i'm going to PM ben ballard.

The so called Regina with split rollers which in my eyes is cheap quality crap was as tight as a bow string without tensioner or blade fitted, where as the DID had what I call normal amount of slack before tensioner was fitted and it has seamless rollers.
It has covered over three thousand miles and has used two clicks of the tensioner from fitting the new chain.
Or could this minimal wear be due to the fact I have taken off the excessive spring tension, and there is now less pressure pushing against the chain.

i've been supplied with a camchain from one of my "stockists" and it has split rollers and the letters on the side the '3' is inside the 'M', does anyone know what this is? who makes it etc? is it any good?

Hi Taffy,

Yes this is the so called Regina chain, and as I've described above. You will notice it is only the split link that has the word Regina on it.
So who makes the chain, Regina always used to have the name on the side plates as does DID now.
I can't understand why people have so much trouble with DID chain.

What year is the engine it is going on Taffy?.

I kinda remember a while ago i was re-building an engine , came to do the chain and was a split link short ....picked up a DID link from DCR ...found it would not fit new chain ...I thought the new chain was a DID ...obviously not , same pitch etc... so if the links dont match ..I think FWIR it was the pin legnth in this case
