Default Where to get a double roller timing chain set??

Where does everybody get their timing chain sets? I'm putting a LS1 back together and want to change the timing chain set for peace of mind...The one on it now is a true double roller with a flat torrington bearing on the back of the cam gear, and says roll master on it....Where can I get a good one for cheap? Do I need one that has that same bearing on the back? and do I need a tool to change the cam timing sprocket? Thanks

are you replaceing your oil pump 2? if so make sure it will work with it, most doulbe rollers you have to shim the oil pump to make it work and that is a pain and most people dont recommend doing that

^^^ I have ported ls6 pump from TSP and when I got the timing set there were shims for the oil pump that I used. No problems clearing the timing cover.
