Default Will this timing chain work in my motor?

I was searching for a new timing chain but amazon states that this does not fit 00 5.3. Did i choose the wrong one? Thanks

Why you going double roller... your timing cover will have to be modified to fit

So this one will work with no issues? It's still saying on amazon that it doesnt fit 00 5.3 at the top of the page.

Alright i guess since im talking to myself and so many views one can only assume this one is ok. It must be a dumb question. Hence 1 reply. Sorry but like i said im new to ls stuff. I tried searching and all i see is ls2 chains. I dont wanna reuse my old gears.
I just hope after i hit the buy button somebody dont come along and say "why did you buy that one?" Thats how it always works for me when buying parts.

I believe this kit comes with a Torrington bearing. Make sure you install it, if it does. You will know what it is when you see it.

Even when you've had years of experience with them, someone will tell you that what you've done is wrong.
It is a huge learning curve & after 13yrs with an LS1, this last month I have still learnt what I should've done with my engine 5yrs previous to get it to work properly. At least now all the bits are right & my car will surely kick some *** on the circuit lol.

Coming from old school small blocks. I have a feeling im in for a learning curve. It should be worth it though.
