Default Double roller timing set, any issues

Working on getting the 6.0 back together after head work and cam swap so while I was at it I ordered a double roller timing set. Doing some surfing on the net and noticed that some are having interference issues with the cover after installing one.

Has anyone here had any issues with this and if so what did you do to resolve it?

thanks Neal

they do interfere with some oil pumps or covers. a lot of people run single roller and never have any issues.

Usually have to grind the front cover for clearance.

Thanks for the input,

If I have issues with it I'm going back to the OEM

Sometimes the "While I'm at it" bug causes more problems in the end

A single roller with a good chain will suffice. I prefer Cloyes with their Z Chain.
