Re: [Chrysler300] Timing Chain Slack

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Warren (he's a pro after all); it's all but in your hand, 
why leave it alone? It's much easier to change it now while you wait 
than to have to do it later. Unless cost  is a real problem, they 
aren't too much, so it's an easy repair/preventive maintenance. Check 
Double Roller Chains while you're at it.
