![]() How did that work out for yah? Kind of like keeping the cost of health care down. Sorry about the history lesson but, We Americans forget so easily why way a long time ago there was once a President named: Bill Clinton most famous for his fine smoking cigars he made a pact with North Korea to help them safely make Nuclear reactors with inspectors there in return for their not making Nukes. And wait for the Flash Bang, and listen to the crap we are fed. As I guess we are supposed to go and do now, but hey elections are coming and who knows.maybe the fate of the world, or we can just bury our head in the sand. And Israel did all it could covertly to slow them down, because: we stood by idly. You see at one time it was unacceptable for Iran to enrich uranium and our president even said so that there could not be enrichment by them and also have a reactor, must be like his evolving thoughts on anything to change to what he thinks will win votes or secure his Legacy. ![]() You see it does not have to be black and white., it does not have to start WW3 it has to be hey we all do not want what you are doing with North Koreas and Russias help, Making the world a unsafer place. like they should have before they shoved garbage on us they did not even read, or say: give your best bunker busters to Israel and a green light and a clear cordon from neighbors of Iran who do not want them to have the bomb either and would help blow the crap up. Remember there is always the guy who thinks out side the "BOX", not like oh say our President who would sign away our future with the unaffordable care act, or give nukes to Iran by punting to the nest guy.there are always more ways to skin a cat.say like make congress deal with the real problems like pharmaceutical mass profits and Tort reform. Anyway that's my thought.do not cut the block, do not damage the timing chain, is it worth it to remove it: yes hell yes they fall apart and break then can send pieces of crap into the oil pan. I am sure somewhere in the history of man kind someone cut one out very carefully with a dremel and used pliers to bend it with the chain slacked and the cam gear off, yet it is most likely a PITA. The problem would be cutting in a tight space no its from a chain digging in from the rivets carving into it almost like it wanted to cut the POS off.lol If I were to cut it off it would be more to the right by where the bolt goes through and the there is less cutting. or could that be grooves from someone trying to cut it off in not the best place. heres the big ugly look this one has drag marks all along it by the tensioner plastic. But it still prevents excessive slap.It would require cutting the old ls3 chain dampener out with surgery with a dremel and a cutting wheel to get it out IMO cutting by the timing chain is not something people want to do let alone worry they will cut into the front of the block and it would most likely have to have the bolts from it loosened and then shimmed out to avoid any damage to the block. The only real downside I can see to the LS2 style is that it doesn't put any real tension on the chain like the LS3 style, so it will give the impression that it has slack in it. Luckily most of the time they end up in the pan with some broken plastic pieces. Last thing you want is that spring clip floating around your engine smacking into who knows what. But I guess at high rpm and banging any spinning parts, anything is possible. I also saw one get wedged between the face of the cam and upper gear, which was completely baffling as there shouldn't be any clearance there. I have seen a couple where the metal spring clip breaks loose and and get wedged between the upper gear and gouges the face of the block/gear. We even had a Camaro5 member post about his failure recently. I have seen too many failures related to the LS3 tensioner to be comfortable to leave the stock unit in on a cammed engine. ![]() Do it now and never think about it again. ![]()
