I'm re-building a 21 Schiada River Cruiser and putting a wood plank deck on it. The thread is on this forum. All wood in this hull was rotted (it's an all glass bottom). When completed I will have a much narrower gunwale and therefore less room for fuel tanks. I'm considering a belly tank and...

I was wondering what timing chain to run on a gen V block when going with a roller cam. I have done some reading and it seems no one has addressed this directly and I want to be sure because I have to be sure to order the right thing because of time. Do you go with that Cloyes double roller if...
