Thanks for the input. I was just trying to get some different opinions on the subject. I think I am gonna just go ahead and get a new timing chain and oil pump. On a side note, where is the cheapest place to get the LS6 springs?

I got mine for $40.02 from the dealer after 8.025% state sales tax...
Not bad for a 5 minute drive from my house. You need to get your parts man to hook you up with wholesale price. I once gave him a $10 tip for looking up parts for me and in return he has literally saved me thousands of dollars...
