mbarnes Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 also motors got 52k should i go ahead and replace the timing chain? if so i think i read somewhere to use the ls2 chain and also read lq9 and ls2 part#s are the same. so if i should change it just get the stock one??? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackySS13 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 The timing chain isn't necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comps are too much money! Go with PSI or Manley Nextec or best bang for the buck https://www.patriot-performance.com/xcart/home.php?cat=51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'd just stay with the stock timing chain. As for springs I'd also vote for the Comp Springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
