Re: Timing Chain Too Short...Have you ever heard of this issue???

Is this a common problem?

In 50+ years of engine work on Packards and other cars, I've NEVER heard of this being required, so absolutely NOT common. Are you also changing gears? If so, does the new chain fit easily with the old gears? If so one or more of the new gears may be the issue and not the chain. If you want to try another source, I'd suggest Egge, perhaps the largest in the hobby for engine parts.
