Timing Chain Question........ I was going to do a cam swap this weekend (which has been postponed) and I wanted to replace the timing chain as well. The only local one I could find was the Cloyes Hex-A-Just. After doing a lil research, I think this set just used a stock chain. Is this true? If not, is this chain decent?
Thanks
Thanks
I dont know about the Cloyes, but they are a big name.
I bought a double roller from Scoggin-Dickey...sdpc2000.com
It was $65 and it is a Rollmaster...good stuff...check it out -------->

Timing Chains Hi,
If the new chain has the same link thickness as the stock chain it is not the preferred setup. The Cloyes chain that I got when I bought the Hex-a-Just from Comp measured the same at the side links so I replaced it with one from Katech.
Chevy upgraded the stock chain sometime in 04 and it is also used on the LS2. I haven’t seen one but it might be better than the Cloyes.
The stock chain does not seem to have a lot of margin which is why many people change it the first time its out of the car. Chevy upgrading the LS2 chain seems to support this theory. I have observed that the aftermarket chains I have are tighter than the stock chains where with the same miles.
Good luck,
Steve
