Timing chain I was wondering which you guys would choose... a Rollmaster double roller or a Crance adjustable Double Roller?
I really like the Crane but I can't make up my mind.

If you order a chain for an LS1 from GM you get the LS2 chain. It is a production update. I found this out when I ordered a chain from the dealer and noticed the thicker metal on the links.
I bought the Comp Cams adjustable double roller, and was very happy with it. Not too bad of a price, at about $110. I would recommend the LS1 sprockets and LS2 chain, looking back at it now...

I have 30k miles on my 02 WS6 and about to do a cam swap. Should I change the sprockets and chain or would I be OK just changing to the LS2 chain?

If you dont need an adjustable set I agree with GM Chain, good roller. I am going with a F***ing BS $300 Cloyes Hex-Adjust with a JWISS Single Roller Chain. I dont like doubles cause the cam swap/oil pump and chain issues, with a single, its easier to swap out. As far as stock gears, look at the gears teeth for wear (sharp points/heavy wear on one side) and crack around bolt holes to check for replacement.
Just to make sure, the LS2 chain will work on 1998 LS1 sprockets, right?
D%^n, I was quoted $58 from dealer yesterday. The part# was 12586482, right?
Also, I was told by the dealer, the LS6 oil pump part# is 12586665 $124.
