im too lazy to go get mine to rattle off a part number but yeah - they are like 40 bucks, full rollers, and cloyes actually makes the chains that MOST other companies rebox as their own.

Personally I woulduse the stock upper sproket and ditch the new sprocket.

Does the cam sprocket have any end play in it when it's tightened down?

I had mine countersunk for $5.00 the guy didn't even want to take that much. I was ready to pay $10.00... He only wanted $2.00, but I needed it done to get my HCI project moving again!
