sup, as some might have seen my how to take a link out thread, well since it was ending up to be to short i had to return the chain back to normal length, now with that said, i have the chain as tight as it will go, i measure 1 inch of travel in the chain, when pulling it upwards, the manual says .5-.8 of an inch of play, is this little .2 of an inch going to hurt anything, like i said taking a link out makes it to short so this is the only option i have, i have a case saver to BTW just throwing it out there
