if there "was a lot of block work" done on the block, then the machinist should have told you what size timing chain you need for that particular block.
Well the work done was just to get the block ready to build, just cleaning stuff up, it only had 70k miles on it so they really didn't take much material off, that's one reason why I don't understand why the chain is that loose. I mean it's not super loose, it only moves when I press on the chain, and not when I turn the crank, it just moves enough to make a slight 'click' noise. I'll show my uncle and see what he thinks, it may be okay for my application.
