Yes a bad design you're right, I got 105000 Miles on the motor and I compared the chains, they were exactly the same.

Glad you already know about the coater rotors, some guys swear it makes a big difference. I think you'd be hardpressed to find a site better than club gp for GM S/C info tho... Worth checking out... Still trying to find my pics and notes from when I did my job, although I could have sworn that I posted them in the domestic section....

I got some info from clubgm.com, but I tried to find it but it's like they removed it???
There was a section for Mods 3800 series-2...all gone??
Are you driving a GP or Regal supercharged?

Upgrade your OEM Timimng chain parts that are obviously OBD I to the newer all plastic tensioner like in the OBD II VR6.
No more rivited composite material that can break off and chain chatter.
You will want to keep your Dual chain Camshaft Sprokets from the OBD I in order to use OBD I timing chain, as it is much better and quieter than the single chain found in OBD II.

I have replace with the new updated tensioner & plastic guide not metal.....just to let you know I have OBD-II with double chain, it depends on what year built, I believe 97 and up is a single chain..

Since the Supercharger comes from a Ford 3.8, as you can see in the pictures this is the hat or outlet part of the supercharger, I decided to make it a 2.8 to match the VR6.
So now the new head and chain kit is in place
At this point, why not replace the clutch also!! So I installed a new clutch Sachs and decided on a lightweight flywheel at 10 lbs. See the difference in pictures.

Headers or Manifolds??? One question that I never found a straight answer. Most I found was port the manifolds and they should be as good as headers....so that's exactly what I did. And also the downpipe , all gasket matched ported and polished.
BEFORE
AFTER
FOR THE DOWNPIPE DON'T FORGET TO WELD THE OUTER FLANGE
You can see the top one has been ported to compare
I decided to install heat wrap on the manifolds since the supercharger will sit on the exhaust manifold, try to keep the heat down as much as possible.
