I started my cam swap on my 2007 TBSS this weekend. I thought I had everything I needed and was hoping to make it a quick project. Everything was right on track up until the point I go to pull the old cam out. My timing set has a SINGLE bolt holding the top gear to the cam. My new cam is set up for a 3 bolt timing gear. I did a quick search on here and could not find a definate answer on what new upper timing gear I need to buy. Has anyone ran across this on a 2007 LS2 TBSS? If so, what did you buy to make everything work right? I need to know ASAP, driving the TA with a dead AC is KILLING me.

You just need to order a 3 bolt timing gear from a GM dealer that fits your vehicle (cam sensor, VVT if it has it).

Ok, so since mine has the 4x reluctor on the timing gear, I'm going to get the 12586481 3 bolt, 4x cam sprocket and 3pcs of 12556127 cam sprocket bolts.

The only thing I'm still in the dark about is the chain dampener. This kit from Lingenfelter shows a different dampener http://www.lingenfelter.com/store/l200175307.html

Can I use my 07 LS2 dampener, or do I need to purchase a different one?

You need a factory C6 Z06 upper sprocket. You dont need the dampener

Those should be the correct part numbers! Verify that the cam sprocket has the 4 raised areas for the cam sensor and not just the single half-moon when you go to pick them up (have seen them mis-packaged before, what a headache!)
