timing chain help
i bought a comp double timing chain (part #7153) and nothing fits. the oil pickup no longer fits because they give you shims to move the oil pump out to clear the chain, also the timing cover hits the oil pump because of this. after installing the oil pump and turning the engine over by hand i noticed that the chain had been rubbing my new mellings oil pump. its hard for me to beleive that comp would market a product like this. are all the ls1 double chains like this.what do i need to make this setup work or should i just get a different timing set.

Hmm, I've got a 99 ws6 and I an LS2 double roller chain and melling high volume pump in mine with the shims no problem...I'm not sure what couldn't be clearing in your car. Did you get all the new sprockets etc? Take some pics if you can and post.

The chain left a mark on the oil pump where it was rubbing (on the casting where the pickup slides in) and i only turned the motor over with a ratchet. The cover wont fit at all. At first it was hitting the bolts on the front of the pump so I ground them down and now the timing cover is hitting the center of the oil pump. Sorry I don't have a digital camera so I can't post pics.
