What exactly are the problems here?? Does it contact the cover?? Some other kind of clearance issues?? I had a resleeved ls1 block and I switched everything over to a ls7 block when it died on me....
I believe the problem lies with the cam gear. The LS1 cam gear doesn't have the half-moon trigger like an LS2 does for the Cam sensor. You will need to use an LS2 cam gear (half-moon for 24X reluctor setup) for your front cover cam sensor to work

I have a really nice timing set and I don't want to sell it, lose money on it and have to buy another one...
I guess the only thing you could do is to call the manufacturer of the timing chain and see if they offer the 24X cam gear. Otherwise you'd have to get another set. I'm using JRP's LS2 timing set, and it is a really nice piece as well.
