4.0 Rebuild - Recommended Timing Set

[TJRD4]

Any recommendations on a timing set for the 4.0 (1997)? This is otherwise a stock rebuild.

Rockauto sells SA Gear, INA, Melling and two different Cloyes. Cloyes sells a "silent type" (model c3041) vs their standard model 90385sb. From the pictures, the silent version appears to be the same but just doesn't include the chain guide (snubber).

Thank you.

I've installed both Melling and Cloyes, and both worked fine. The only negative thing I've seen was the last Cloyes set I installed. The parts were a mix of US, Taiwan and China. The chain was made in China and stretched almost instantly to just a tad over 1/4 inch. Everything else was fine.

In installed a Melling on my 99, no complaints.
