When changing the camshaft on my friend's 2004 ZO6, we bought an LS2 chain, but when we compared it the the original chain, it was the same.

Then when changing the camshaft on my 2001 ZO6, I installed the LS2 chain that was meant to go into the 2004 ZO6.

Yep, found the same thing on a friend's Vette. He was happy because we didn't disturb the oil pump.
