So you think STOCK the cam was installed other than straight up?
The stock LT1 timing chain is loose and everyone loves to get worked up over it but nobody has an actual problem from it.
Cloyes makes an oversize lower gear that will tighten a stock chain.
Think about it this way, GM used that chain with the full waterpump load placed on it and it is VERY reliable. Meaning the durability concerns people have about it are made up internet stupidity.
You know that with a gen 1 timing set you have to go with a low flow electric waterpump right?
