The timing chain on my early TR3A began rattling very noisily. 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 superior. Although I have
driven the car over a summer since, I don't think that's really enough time to
say whether or not it's performance is superior to the others.

mm+Millimeter, about 1 inch, so more than double your noted amount. 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 $48.93
Or, Moss just lists one at $9.95
Just for the weekend driver, does anyone have any expereince with these?
Thnaks,
Bill

Subject: Re: [TR] TR3B timing chain slack
Bill -
I know this is in the manual somewhere -- but couldn't find it just now.
But my notes from the last time I did this say "per manual, slack of < 0.4"
is acceptable".
What's a mm?

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,
