Hey guys,

I see all the time where people put LS2 valley covers, and timing chains on 5.3 and 6.0 engines.. What is the gain from doing this?

I currently am running a 5.3 with 196k and it wont be real long before i'll be building a supercharged 6.0 to take its place so im trying to learn all i can.

Thanks, Jon

 

When I did my cam swap, I re-used my valley cover, timing chain, and crank gear because I didn't pull the motor or drop the oil pan, I did change cam gears though because mine was a little worn. The LS2 timing set is stronger than the stock ones that come on our trucks, at least that's what I've been told.

 

Oh ok, it makes since with the timing set being stronger..

Does anybody have an idea about the valley cover?

Thanks, jon
