[QUOTE="FreshKill420, post: 16086794, member: 182800"] It appears the slack is normal when reinstalling the chain and will be taken out when the engine cranks over and the oil pressure is brought to the tensioner. Team Beefcake Racing and Finish Line Performance helped me to determine if the issue was normal or not. Huge thanks to these guys! Here is what they said: "As long as your dark color links are lined up with the timing marks, then the chains are installed correctly. As for the slack, 1st, ALWAYS turn the engine over in clockwise manner. If it is turned backwards it can break the tensioner's, And it can show slack on the drive side of the chain (per your picture). 2nd, make sure that the tensioner's ratchet mechanisms are not broke, letting the tensioner's to compress to much. With that being said, if the tensioner's are not damaged, and your links are lined up correctly, You should be fine. The chains will tension properly when the engine is started and the tensioner's get oil pressure." Once again Thanks to Team Beefcake Racing and Finish Line Performance! [/QUOTE]
