Sorry, premature sendage... If you see 3/4 of an inch, your chain has enough slack to jump a tooth.

I have turned the harmonic balancer back and forth while watching the rotor and get about 3/4" of free movement at the balancer. Is this considered too much? Thx, Chris Strohmeyer 67 Imperial Convertible ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
