T-Rex cam - timing chain and piston-valve I already tried searching with no luck.
This is simple enough - What timing chain do you guys recommended to use with the TRex cam? Also, Will I have any piston-valve clearance issues with stock internal 02 LS1, 5.3 heads stock rockers, 918 springs?

Might want to check p to v just in case since you have aftermarket heads.
Get a double roller timing chain, they come with the spacers to shim the oil pump and then you have to grind the cover very slightly.
I had a big nasty cam in my car with the stock chain and stock heads. It ran for 4 weekends and then the timing chain snapped, bent my valves and nicked all 8 pistons.
Don't risk it.

I was considering the LS2 for its simplicity and a somewhat worthy upgrade.
Also curious if anyone knows the "general" max duration and cam installed degress that LS engines can get away with on stock heads and gaskets. I was thinking 230's and 4* max area. Not for my car just curious.
