Tsubaki Cam Chain is being discontinued

Much to our surprise and disappointment, Tsubaki is getting out of the cam chain business. They have discontinued all manufacturing of cam chain.

There is still a small amount of their Heavy-Duty cam chain available through their exclusive importer to the USA - but when it is gone it is gone. If you plan to rebuild an engine this winter, don't wait before you purchase a Tsubaki cam chain. We've already seen [strike]one cam chain[/strike] two cam chains for Honda/Suzuki become unavailable in the past couple of days.

We have other 'OEM Grade' cam chains in stock - but the Tsubaki chain is much more heavy-duty to all the others on the market. For a stock engine, it's not as crucial, but for engines with high-lift cams and heavy-duty valve springs the Tsubaki cam chain is a must.

We'll keep looking for an alternate manufacturer, but I'm not very hopeful.
