Timing Chain & What Else Is Needed Help? I'm in the process of ordering everything for my head and cam swap. I currently picked up some 799 heads out of 07 truck that I am having a valve job done and porting. The cam is a Comp Cams Extreme XE-R Hydraulic Roller Cam, 232/234 duration with .595/.598 lift and 112 LS. My main question is with the mods listed in my sig and this head and cam set. Is the LS2 chain all that is needed or do I need to order also new cam sprocket, crank sprocket and anything else with the chain or is the chain all that is need? I'd like to get by cheap as possible by just throwing the new chain on, but if it is needed I don't mind spend a little bit extra. The car has right at 60,000 miles on it that I drive on average once a week. Will be ran at the track to get my best times a few times but other than that is a street car. Any help, suggestions, or criticism is much appreciated. Thanks.
The LS2 chain will fit the gear set you have currently. With only 60K on the clock your gears should be fine. I reused 220,xxx miles gears in my LM7 rebuild with a LS2 chain with out any problems.

Thanks, I just wanted to get some feed back from people who went new chain only and make sure it was ok.
I plan on going with the below head gasket set. As of now the 799 heads are not milled. I don't plan on having them milled either. Any reason why these won't work? Part# 12589226 LS1 / LS6 Cylinder Head Gasket .051" thick, 3.92" max bore.
