timing chain? Doing a cam install!!!!Is a new timing chain on a 99Z w/ 50k miles necessary? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Is it harder to install a new one than it is stock? What do you do different on a new one to install? What would be the advantages of a new one? Also, what is the best & cheapest valve spring compressor & were to get it. Thanks for the help in advance! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: timing chain? ...buy a new timing set; sdpc sells a double roller for less than $100 - cheap insurance...if you are going with a high lift cam, stout springs etc...
...they are hard to install, however...since you need to remove the engine pan and oil pump, shimm the pump, etc.
