The Haynes Manual says, "Timing chains must be replaced as a set with the camshaft and crackshaft sprockets. Never put a new chain on old sprockets."
It seems like a high percentage of us are replacing only the chain when doing a cam swap. Why can't you put a new chain on old sprockets? Is their advice for damaged chains only?
