RE: IML: timing chain play



I wouldn't think so....
I am not sure if Chrysler used the plastic gears in the '60's...
I do know that they wore a lot faster than metal.
I guess a tight set of cam bearings could cause premature wear.... 
Or really low oil level...

Is it even remotely possible that an engine with 30k miles could have this

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