Which timing set to get for cam swap?
Which timing set to get for cam swap? I am doing a heads/cam swap onto a 53k mile shortblock, that is without a timing set. I have the old timing set off of my 171k engine, but I feel that it is probably too worn out to use again. I have read that the stock GM set is more than sufficient for a heads/cam build, but which should I go with? Should I reuse the gears and just get a new chain, new GM full timing set or Lunati set ($99.95 Summit)?

thats what i want to do but everyone told me not to, so now idk what to do. I wont put the new gears, so it's either a new chain with the old gears or my old chain and old gears
It is foolish to think that there would be no wear on the sprockets. It's metal to metal. The chain and sprockets wear together. I highly suggest that anyone who reads this opts to change the chain AND sprockets.
