Is this chain too loose
Hi...this is my second try.
Is this too much slack on the drive side...this is after change of tensioners, guides and chains but before start up, so no oil pressure in tensioners?
Tightened cam bolts but right bank seems too loose...was tight when I torqued the bolts, primary chain was wedged and I did the exhaust sprocket first.
What difference does it make that I do both banks before loosening cam locking tools..should I do left first and then loosen left locking tool before moving to right bank.
Thanks

Provided that you have the cam lock tools and flywheel pin in place correctly, this puts the engine is safe mode. Once the new chains, tensioners and guides are in place and torqued down, you can take the cam lock tools off. It doesn't matter what side you take off first. When you take them off, the cams might move slightly, but the slack is there because there is no oil in the tensioner, and the engine hasn't turned over. Once you start it and oil pressure goes up, the slack will go away. Just make sure you don't forget to remove the flywheel pin before starting it.
