Now with the crankshaft nut, pulley and timing cover removed, the timing chain mechanism to this AH 3000 BJ-7 could be assessed. The Timing Chain Tensioner is riding up aginst the chain and chain is taunt -this is good. However, there's some chain slacking on the opposite side nearest the Dampner. Just how much chain deflection is allowed on the Dampner side? Deflection is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch.
Engine was running great prior to demantle; there's no deviation on timing.
Is there some allowable timing chain deflection or slack on the dampner side or should it be tight. Took some pics but first I need to learn how to post them.
Thanks, GONZO
