Default Timing chain slop
Hey all, getting ready to change the timing chains in my 05 1500 4.7 with 103,000. How do I check for slop before I go any further?
Thanks

Rotate the engine two full revolutions then verify that timing marks are aligned on primary and secondary chains. If timing marks stay aligned through rotation then your chains are good.
