while trying to adjust the slack in the timing chain on a 72 using the special tool blessed by Andover Norton, I am running into the usual slack-tight-slack-tight situalion but much more slack than usual. My theory is that the chain, when it wears, will aggravate this situation and that a new chain will minimize this headache. Correct? It's been a long time since I put in a new chain, do not remember exactly.
Also, when I installed the oil pump I noticed that there was a tight spot or two when turning the motor over with a wrench on the crank. I loosened the two nuts, turned the crank a few times and then tightened the nuts. The problem went away.
