Wait, what? You bent pushrods and then replaced the timing chain? Did you break the chain? What exactly happened and how long ago? Could shed some light.

I have the huge long thread about the car not starting after the cam install. It ended up being the valve keepers on upside down. Mangled a bunch of pushrods. Would that stretch the chain though?

Please list everything that has been changed and broke since that other thread started. 22 pages is a lot to fish through. This would help everyone.

New parts:
VS cam
G8 springs and retainers
Stock pushrods
Stock timing chain and dampener
LS7 lifters
Stock valve seals
All new gaskets (head, LIM, front cover, water pump, supercharger etc.)
Passenger CV joint/axle
Passenger side ball joint
LS7 lifters, new pushrods, new gaskets, new valve seals, axle and the ball joint were all put in after the valve keeper incident.

I'm leaning towards the timing chain stretching if it went through that abuse. And my bad, I didn't catch what you had written at the bottom at first.Originally Posted by Bedwards

I know timing belts stretch... But I've never heard of a chain stretching. I know they wear, but this chain is brand new. Couldn't have worn that fast. The only thing I can think of is if the tensioner was somehow lose, and the chain was rubbing on the block or something. But even still, I get no noise when the car is up on jacks, in drive.

Parts that went through the incident, which are still on the car:
VS cam
G8 springs and retainers
Stock timing chain and dampener
All the other parts are fresh and went in afterwards.
