Quick question. How much deflection should a new timing chain have? It also has new sprockets. Mine has 1/16 max and thats really pushing on it. Is this normal?
Thanks
Thanks

1/2" of side-slop for a new chain with new gears. and . . GM allows up to 8/10" of side-slop for used. I just checked one of mine with 220,000 miles and the original chain has 9/16" side-slop. That doesn't even amount to 1/2 of a degree of movement at the flywheel, i.e. no problem.Quick question. How much deflection should a new timing chain have? It also has new sprockets.

Just put one on from napa also no deflection also maybe a .060 max . I will leave it on .
No I have not . Set back, heads are cracked . I do no the chain will stretch pretty quick.I will leave it on then. Have you started your engine since the replacement?
