What's your opinion on the slack in this 318 timing chain?

i was perusing the FSM on an unrelated matter... and guess what? they have the spec listed out right in the print!

with the slack removed and 30 ft/lb of torque on the sprocket bolt there should be no more than 3/16" inch of movement. (15 ft/lb without the heads installed)

1969 FSM 9-33 (diag. NU268)

what is done with this information is entirely up to you.
