Default 402ci LS2 timing set recommendation?

We built this engine back in early 2009 and I've got it out right now checking things over. I was debating replacing the timing set while its on the stand... currently I'm running a double roller adjustable and I believe it is a Rollermaster.

Curious what guys would recommend now days, I was debating the Comp Cams 7102 and it looks very similar to the one I've got.


Thoughts/comments? Thanks in advance!

Just go with the Rollmaster again. I'd only replace if it was starting to show signs of being lose.

The Comp is just a re-badged Rollmaster usually with a huge markup.

The Comp one thru Summit is actually a few dollars cheaper than the Rollmaster thru TSP. lol They looked like the same thing, that's what made me a little curious.

As for being "loose"... not sure but it definitely seems to have a decent amount of slack but everyone says that's pretty normal.

I've alwyays like the JP Performance sets. I have a single roller in my engine and will be using another on my next one.

Slack is fine on an aluminum block. Some of that slack is going to be taken up when the block gets hot and grows.

KCS, good point about the aluminum expansion. I know my engine guy talks about that often and how it impacts numerous things.
