I'm in the middle of a H/C swap and will be installing a LS2 timing chain and gears sometime tomorrow. Got to looking at the cam gear for the set today and noticed that there isn't a timing "dot" on the gear like the LS1 factory gears have. I did notice that there is a "U" shaped marking on the gear however.

So is this "U" shaped marking the LS2 version of the "dot" found on LS1 cam gears? The crank gear has a dot, but the only marking I found on the cam gear was this "U" shape.

Any suggestions/input?

Thanks.

 

Thats the dot.

 

Thanks Nassy, that's the info I needed.

I'd hate to get that thing in there wrong!!

Thanks for the pic btw! Always helps to see what you're talking about.

 

i take it the ls2 chain is stronder then the ls1 chain.

i guess it would make sence to swap the ls2 chain while doing a cam swap right?

just need the ls2 chain and ls2 cam gear?

 

Do you need to buy the timing set or just the timing chain? Does the set come with the chain?

 

Just the chain is fine.

 

so just replace the cain with a oem ls2 pice? and it is stronger correct?
got a pn?

 

part # 12586482

 

so why should i go with the ls2 chain?

 

the ls2 chain is much stronger.

i think u can guess which one is which

 

The side links are thicker, it's quite a bit stronger than the LS1 chain. When you get the LS1 chain out, you'll laugh.

 

no other mods direct replacement

 

direct replacement. I put one in my car and just put one tonight in my buddies car doing his cam swap

 

good idea to ask before you fire it up uncertain like I did! Or you would have this problem

 

wft happened?
