Question Doing a full tune up... is this a good timing chain?

I wanna do a good full tune-up and I am having trouble finding a timing chain.. This is the only one I can find...
Does anybody know if this is a good one?

if the link doesn't work you might have to cut and paste it, or just go to nopionlin.com and look up rx-7 engine componets.

You are shitting us, right?

The only chain a rotary has is the oil pimp drive chain. IT is timed by a worm gear directly off the "crankshaft" as you would call it.

Your link does not work, but I think this is the Nopi link you want:

Nopi timing chain

Note how it says all models, that is a generic timing chain.

Either way there is no RX-7 with a timing chain from the factory... only on those cars that someone mutated putting a piston engine in.

And it sounds like someone needs a shop manual before they do any sort of tune up or other work on their car

To me, tune up is plugs wires and all fluids and filters changed out.
