Timing Chain Question
Timing Chain Question I have read that the SLP double roller is just an over priced rollmaster double. Is there any validity to this? Imm looking to save money where I can with my cam, install so if this is the case I will get the rollmaster rather than the SLP. Thanks for any info.

Since you don't want to waste money, you should forget about SLP altogather. Cal's right, look into an LS2 chain for a hair over 28 bucks and reuse your stock sprockets.
I belive there was a thread a while back that indicated most of the double roller chains are made by the same company. I think an LS2 chain would be even better than a double roller; less rotating mass and it will never cause interferance with an under drive pulley. BTW, these pulleys are an excellent mod that works and has no side effects if you don't already have one. How do you like the aluminum flywheel?
Thanks that clears things up alot. I think I will look into the LS2 chain. Part #?
Cal, I like the aluminum flywheel it revs up like a ****. Its not bad at all when shifting. I had heard that it can kill revs when shifting but no probs here.

Is there anyway to get the part # because i will soon be doing my cam swap and was also looken at a double rollermaster chain but wasnt looken forward to swapping oil pump and decided against it my car only has 22k. Will the ls2 chain hold up to a FM13 cam?

It's not that hard to reinstall the oil pump, don't let the horror stories freak you out. As someone else said, "Just go slow and think about what you are doing." Use a new O-ring and lube it up good first. Then just kind of work it in there slow, don't force-fit it.

The oil pump and pickup tube O-ring are a PITA, but not that hard. I installed a rollmaster double and new oil pump with my cam swap and it went alright. Just be very carefull with that pickup tube bolt. There is a blurb about that in my cam swap thread. (see sig link)
So wait, if i am to do a LS2 timing chain with my install, do I need to remove the oil pump if i am not going to replace it? Or does it need removed to get the chain around the crank gear?or does the LS2 timing chain part # 12586482 come with a new crank gear that needs to be put on?
thx rob
thx rob
awww god i am retarded, i was thinkin of like a chain with a master link but i just realized and thought about it and well i am dumb lol sry. So any way that LS2 chain will be ok on orig. crank gear?also my car only has 22k will it be fine to leave the oil pump?and is that chain ok for the FM13 cam?
