Default Cam Chain Tensioner

I saw on the scoggin dickey website that the old GM timing chain seperator has been discontinued and a new version is available that they list as applicable for 2005 and up LS series engines. Does anyone know if this fits LS1? Thanks.

No, it won't fit as the bolt spacing is different. I am really surprised the afteramrket hasn't picked up the original design and produced one.

You could make one if you could get some Delrin or nylon type of material.
