I looked into the silent chains a while back, you need like a 5 or 6" wide chain to have the same load strength as a couple 530 chains believe it or not, the the wider chain and gears are a small fortune as well. I would do the 2 smaller chains in an oil bath, that might not be a bad deal...
BS! that info about the silent chain is wrong. .5" pitch Ramsey RPV is 11000#'s strength per inch of width and much smaller diameter sprockets than 630 roller chain.
Ok Fabr, but do I really need it? I think just from a dummy standpoint, I could get by with the 530's couldn't I? Then I don't need to educate myself, just buy sprockets and chains and away I go!
