2nd times a charm :( Well...im well underway of my h/c swap. I already did a cam swap on the car last year and everything went perfect.
So what do you know...now I got problems...here they are.
Dropped a lifter...forgot to take it out when I pulled the heads, must have missed one some how...what a bitch.
whats the best way to get it out???...I REALLY dont want to mess with the oil pump tube again!!! that was a pain...the o-ring on it scares me...and I almost drop the bolt trying to get it back in.
But...I might have to do it anyway because I have another problem. I bought a rollmaster single roller timing chain for it when I put the cam in last year. the damn thing is supposed to be stronger than the original and it is already stretched to hell. I think the stock one I pulled of at 85k miles was in better shape...whats the deal? Are they supposed to stretch that much and then stop?
thanks for the help

You think I should probably just get an ls2 chain then? thats what I think I am going to do.
Can I still use my rollmaster sprockets?...or should I use my original sprockets if they are in good shape? I think they look identical but from doing searches it seems like everyone uses the stock sprockets with the ls2 chain. I would rather use the rollmaster because it is supposed to be a stronger gear and it is newer...but who knows after how the chain turned out
what if it didnt drop to the pan? am I screwed? where else should I look (lifters)
thanks
