timing chain - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

tpepmeie · 03-31-2019

I have seen instances where there is not enough adjustment on the primary tensioner to remove all the slack. It may be necessary to shim under the wear face on the primary guide. Some aluminum or steel sheet stock of the proper thickness works if all else fails.

Jerry is right, the primary chain is very stout and I’ve never known of one to fail.

If the block has been line honed, it’s likely there will be excess slack.
