Cloyes is an OE supplier for GM

I've used cloyes on multiple engines with great success. I only saw one review WRT the socket freezing... the user stated that in 4 rotations the sprocket completely froze causing the chain to jump and bent valves. I'm extremely dubious of that claim. "I'll take 'he didn't install it correctly' for $100"

Guess I'll just do it and go for the better set.
