Katech C5-R timing chain question
I just ordered a C5-R timing chain from Katech for a LS3 engine. Will I be able to use the LS3 timing chain dampner with it?

Good question. When I bought my LG LS3 cam kit it came with the C5-R chain but also came with the old style timing chain block . Some info here....

Darn, I was thinking the bottom one had gone through a heat treatment process because of the darker color.
