1. [TR] TR3B timing chain slack (score: 1): Author: "Wbeech" <wbeech@flash.net>; Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 17:25:51 -0600; What is an acceptable amount of slack in the TR3B (TCF) timing chain? With all the slack on the tensioner side I can measure 25mm of play. Is this OK? Thanks, Bill; ** triumphs@autox.team.net ** Arch; /html/triumphs/2013-01/msg00317.html (8,667 bytes)

Re: [TR] TR3B timing chain slack (score: 1): Author: Frank Fisher <yellowtr3@yahoo.com>; Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 15:35:18 -0800 (PST); how are you measuring the slack? there is a spring at the side that tensions it, but not until you put the timing cover on.

But my notes from the last time I did this say "per manual, slack of < 0.4" is acceptable". What's a mm? Geo On Mon, Ja; /html/triumphs/2013-01/msg00321.html (9,439 bytes)

Guess I'll buy a new chain. TRF lists three different qualities of timing chains: 1. AE brand $19.95 2. Replica $9.95 3. Renold $48; /html/triumphs/2013-01/msg00322.html (10,275 bytes)

I agree that an inch sounds like too much slack. What you might also th; /html/triumphs/2013-01/msg00323.html (9,542 bytes)

When I replaced it, I went with the Renold brand. I can't say if it's better than the others, though reports suggested it was far superi; /html/triumphs/2013-01/msg00325.html (10,809 bytes)

With an inch of slack, I'd make sure the gear teeth have enough depth left to do their job. The gears on my tr2 were shallow and quite sharp.

Re: [TR] TR3B timing chain slack (score: 1): Author: KingsCreekTrees@aol.com; Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 20:57:04 -0500 (EST); Sorry, I forgot to mention that I did renew all sprockets, tensioners, bolts, etc. when I renewed the timing chain.

Remove the chain from the sprockets and try to flex it sideways in your fingers. If it will flex more than 1/4"; /html/triumphs/2013-01/msg00351.html (9,239 bytes)

Re: [TR] TR3B timing chain slack (score: 1): Author: davehogye <dlhogye@comcast.net>; Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:11:28 +0000 (UTC); I think that your standard timing chain from our main British suppliers are around $15 and an improved quality chain is around $45. Either choice is a no-brainer if you are that far into a motor. Jus; /html/triumphs/2013-01/msg00353.html (10,225 bytes)
