what oil pump and timing chain
what oil pump and timing chain pulled the motor outta the bird today and finally found out what the knock was in the motor the timing chain was about to fall off it had so much play in it you could move the chain back and forth 1/2-3/4 of an inch so im looking for a good replacement chain and while ive got the motor out and its so easy to replace the oil pump now im gonna do it so what oil pump and timing chain set should i go with.
I just installed a Melling oil pump with a JP performance billet chain. Both seem like quality products, haven't started the car cause I'm still doing my head and cam swap.......and blower.

I've got no complaints with my ported LS6 pump that I bought off a member here. I also went with the LS2 chain because it's just simple and cheap, and as other stated, a lot beefier than the stocker.

Curious, what chain were you running?
Also, how does your cam plate look under the sprocket, they are know for a lot of wear so I went with a new timing set that has a Torrington bearing.

Hey there dude. I've just done the pump/chain swap too and what a friggin nightmare havin to set up the clearances between the pump body and the drive gear! I also have to modify the cover, can you help us out with where to grind etc? How did you centralise the cover to make sure the seal was dead concentric? Cheers, Mark.
