at 60,000 I went ahead and changed mine out while I was doing the cam swap. Maybe it didn't need it, but i was in there anyway.

Dug this up. Getting ready for my swap. Will the LS2 cam work on my 04 4.8?

Get the IWIS chain. Much better than the OE.

so you had a ls2 stock right? then replaced it with another ls2 when u did the cam swap? asking bc im hoping to do a swap soon and figured i might as well replace chain at same time. about 62xxx mi right now

Yet another item I missed out on on my '04 model. That, & efans from factory. We're good now tho on the efans, & soon the timing chain too.

I knew LPE used the IWIS, & I think Katech uses that chain too.
