FWIW, I split the differance and bought a cloyes hex a just single roller. Perfectally tight and no cover or oil pump interferance. And its adjustable to degree in a cam. JMHO. Eric L

Just a thought... After seeing how loose a new LS2 chain was, Im glad I installed a double roller. If your putting all your $$$ into building a motor why not spend another $50-60 extra and have the security of a double roller.
I dont want to start bitching fests here, common sense is a double is definitely stronger.

When I put together my H/C combo this summer, I'm just going with an LS2. I've never seen a lot of wonderful things said about the double roller fitment. Clearance issues here, clearance issues there. Also seems to be the consensus that the LS2 is plenty strong/durable for what most people are doing.

And, anytime there is slop, your timing isnt exactally accurate. Also, if you have to degree the cam in, theres no way to do it with a stock timing set. Dont assume just because you get a custom grind it wont be off. Always degree. Eric L

In my experience the LS2 chains run loose as the town *****.
What Eric L said. When installed straight up my cam was off by about a degree. That little bushing gives you infinite adjustment. And it runs nice and tight. Hex-a-just FTW.
