I thought it was 5 degrees, but regardless....Something like this?A simple way to check the timing chain for wear (stretch) is to bar the engine over to TDC. Then with the breaker bar, try gently rotating forward and backward feeling for the slop. The cam and valvetrain restrains the rotation. A new chain may have a couple of degrees back and forth, while a worn chain can have 10 degrees. Don't have to take anything apart.
