You have to pull the oil pump to swap the chain so why not just replace both since its already off. Seems like a waste to swap one and then go back later to swap the other.

At 64K I wouldn't mess with either...Is this swap on the 06 in your sig? I believe that 05+ comes with the LS2 chain already, but I'm not 100% sure on that, hopefully someone can confirm...

Stay away from putting that 32 buck LS2 junk chain back on. Go to katech and buy their C5R chain. I have seen a couple LS2 chains come apart already, not worth it.

As for oil pump, GM's DOD pumps kick ***.
