Default timing chain///opti???

my lt1 was set up to run stick dist. with single plane, so the opti hole was covered. and a double timing chain was installed.

i am now going back to the opti. my question is...will the opti work with my double chain? or will i need to change it back to my lt1 timing set??


im trying to load pics ill post soon...if needed

thanks anybody.

you need to go with an electric water pump and grind on the timing cover for clearance...

ya, both of those are already done. sorry for not mentioning it. i just mean, the little tit that sticks off the front of the timing chain gear is much smaller than the one on the stock timing chain gear.

will this smaller tit, still fit into the opti like it should?? or do i need to switch it back to stock chain and gear???

From the pic it looks like it. Is it possible to pull it out with cam installed and put in a longer one. Never tried that.. .
