lsx timing chain problem
lsx timing chain problem i have a lsx block, and i bought a ls2 conversion kit from scoggin dickies. now the building is putting the motor together and the top sprocket will not stick out far enough. it doesnt align with the crank spocket. is this the correct timing chain. he also said it will b very loose. how do i fix it
You mean that the top sprocket will not line up with the bottom sprocket on the crankshaft? It would have nothing to do with the chain itself really, it would be either the cam tunnel/camshaft or the crank. Let me know what you find out.
Is it a double roller chain set or single? How old is your LSx block?
The "1st generation" LSx blocks had issues with the double roller sets and the bolts they supplied with the cam retainer plate interfering. On the new generation LSx blocks that issue was corrected with a different style bolt being supplied.

the block is a couple years old. i think it was some of the first blocks made. i am just getting around to building it. i think it is a single chain. it is from scoggin dickies ls2 conversion kit. i just wasnt sure if the timing chains were t
he same for the lsx block. but thy arethe same
i will try to get some pictures today. i couldnt get a hold of him yesterday. thanks for the help. i think this block is a piece of junk

Verdad Gallardo we put a stock timing set on it tonight and it works great. the cam sprocket on the new one must not be centered correctly. so hopefully scoggin dickies will get me a new one. i am ready to get this little motor done. tired of it allready
charged: Were you trying to run a double roller when you had the clearance issues, or was it a single?

They were using a single row chain from our LS2 conversion kit. It seems they had some problem with it allowing improper tension on the chain in between revolutions of the crank/cam gear.
