The LS2 timing chain is a factory single roller that seems to be a nice cheap alternative over stock...at least on the "older" blocks. I believe that somewhere along the line all of the GENIII motors received the LS2 chain but I don't know for sure. I'll be using an LS2 chain myself when I build my LQ9.

I have the LS2 chain in mine aswell, if your cam is going to be mild, it will work just fine.

Is the LS2 timing chain that most people run like the one Yank is selling?
