So this is really bugging me.

I remember reading all the 3.6 weak chain issues were fixed when the '12 Camaro got the LFX and i suppose the answer really is in the part numbers. Does anyone have a source they can pull to see if there is a different number from 2011 to 2012 on the 3.6?

Also i'm reading about some kind of screens that could potentially get blocked and i'm assuming they are for incoming/return oil passages for the timing chain?

I'm curious about this also. Have heard some rumors that the LFX has issues similar to the LLT and haven't heard anything elaborating one way or the other.
