I'd like to run an LS2 timing set on my '02 LS1. What exactly has to be changed to do that?

 

i think you can reuse your gears if not worn which they shouldn't be and just get the ls2 chain.

 

Anybody else?

 

pull the old one off put the LS2 one on. I have one the side plates are just thicker.

 

besides the chain, whats better?
I have a LS2 chain on my engine. much beefier than the LS1 chain. went straight in, no problem

 

Cool beans. I like that idea better than shimming the oil pump. And I remember that Bill Jenkins said years ago that he preferred the single chains, and even the nylon gears ( ) because he said it led to less vibration and such (paraphrasing) being fed back into the valve motion.

Anyone who doesn't like the idea of running an LS2 chain on stock gears on a 600-or-so lift cam with a redline of 6700?

Thanks to all for the responses.

 

I'm running the LS2 chain with 6800 rpm redline and .602 lift. No problems so far.
