Timing Chain Question

[silverado120]

well i have put my lq4 back together and bought a beefier ls2 timing chain for it but there seems like there is alot of slack in the chain and i was wondering if this was normal if not what should i do

[George C]

LS2 chain with Ls1 sprockets does have alittle bit of slop

[silverado120]

so should i get a ls2 sprocket or will i be okay with my ls1 i dont want my timing to be off or anything to get messed up

[molitor]

probably best to get the ls2 cam sprocket, its meaty to say the least, and if you wanted, you could switch to the front cam sensor, no idea why though. . . but yeah, get a sprocket

[silverado120]

ok do you know if its the same 3 bolt

[DBRODS]

NO reason to switch. The cam sprockets are identical. They both measure .210 thickness. And the gears are identical..

[silverado120]

so should i just leave the chain the way it is cause i dont want to much slack in it..

It will be fine. Gunna have the same slack if you change cam gears or not. Waste of money.

ok and what if i put a damper on it i dont think it has holes for one but was just curious

[DBRODS]

I don't see a need for one. Unless your reving over 7k and making alot of power..like 600+hp
