Advise on parts to get for my 5.2 engine after secondary chain broke

[kauton]

Hi guys,

Apparently my secondary chain, passenger side, broke. Needless to say there will be some work on the engine. Any advises on what parts to hunt for - I would say I will get better than stock if available, like chains, tensioners, chain guides, whatever... the bonus is I am in Europe, so getting the parts shipped will require extra effort and money...

MMR should have your upgraded replacements. I run their chain guides, tensioners, Oil pump gear, and crank sprocket.

Be aware - these chains don't usually just break. Something else seizes or makes contact first, then causing more catastrophic damage along the way, to include the chain. Tread carefully!

Exactly...

Does the engine still turn over freely if manually trying to turn the crank?

Sounds like your GT350 may not have been checked for the timing TSB. If you have not seen it:
