Timing Chain
I am doing a Heads/Cam change this weekend. While I am doing this is it worth it to change the Timing Chain? If so what is a good one...
Thanks! :cheers:

Timing what??
Do we have a timing chain on a pushrod engine?
Time to get back to the office and look in my manuals....

Re: Timing Chain (wave_3)
I would say it´s worth it.
I´ve heard about broken chains damaging Ls1`s.
I did intall the cloyes "AL" timing chain set when I did my heads/cam.
Stronger gears and much stronger chain!!
Not chap (about 300+$, if I remember right), but worth the money IMHO.
It´s a non stretch heavy duty chain in that package.
I´m happy that I did it!
