I am in the middle of a cam swap, I put the new cam in, and the timing gear, but the chain just looks really loose, it has about 3/4 to an inch of slop in it, should I get a new timing chain while I am here or is that about right. If I need a new one what should I up-grade to quickly. I have to have this thing together by Monday. Thanks.

how many miles do you have on that chain? if you have more than 30k I would go ahead and put a new chain on it while you are there. never hurts. and there is some slack in it when its in place.

Hey Guy's,
I didn't want to start a new thread... hope to get a reply/help on this.
I'm doing a cam swap soon, and I ordered a LS2 timing chain and figured it would come with new sprockets, but it didn't -- can I reuse the original 5.3 sprockets?
Thanks in advance,
Tone
