Timing Chain Set

Probably your engine block was line bored and causes chain to be looser. I have used cloyes true roller chains always nice and snug. My 360 is a virgin non line honed/bored block. When I took it to machine shop to rebore cylinders they wanted to line hone. I refused! When we tore down block mains were nice and true. Crank spun freely no wear at all. Still went ahead and bought all main and rod bearings new.
The block was bored .040 but no line bore was done. Seems others are having the same problem and some using a tensioner.

Thanks, Tim
