Timing Chain - LSA Tensioner or LS2 Dampener
How many switched to the LS2 Dampener when doing a cam swap? I have seen where some re-use the LSA tensioner, what's everyone's opinion on this? Tried searching for this topic under the ZL1 forum, so if I missed it sorry to re-post.

Most everyone prefers the LS2 style due to its simplicity. Nothing to break and it is just as effective. The LSA style can fail even though it is usually not catastrophic. The spring loaded part of the LSA tensioner assembly is just one more moving part that is not necessary.

Thank You!!
