N-Motion Timing chain any good?

Just remember that the damper is designed to keep the chain from slapping around as much as what it would otherwise do without a damper and as such is intended to extend the life of the chain. It is not however designed to take the slack out of the chain as a tensioner would do. Unfortunately the factory GM tensioner does not have the best track record and is to commonly found to be in pieces in the oil pan.

Went ahead and ordered the kit from TEA adapter/damper combo. Stayed away from the tensioner too many bad reports on those! Since the chain had some travel damper makes me feel a lot better about chain breakage due to harmonics or high rev. Will post up some pics of the setup since I haven't seen many with the damper/adapter combo as of yet. Crossing fingers I hate clearance issues! Thanks for all the replies!

From my experience I'd say the N-Motion sets are just another re-branded JP Performance set. They use rolon chains which are almost as good as IWIS, but much cheaper. I have a JP performance set in my DD and it is just fine.

Also use one of the block-style dampeners without issues. I have heard of the spring-loaded dampeners having issues though...
