cam shaft end play problem. Please help

i mocked up my new timing chain set (ford racing steel billet gears) along with the recommended steel thrust plate.

i checked the end play and there was none. i sanded down the steel thrust plate and got back the required end play.

when i fully installed everything (chain, gears, thrust plate) i had no end play. i was thinking because of the new tight chain, its not alowing me to move it.

the motor turns over nicely without a problem

is this a problem? is there something wrong?

thanks

thanks

i do have the old chain and gears. there was alot of slack on the old chain. and this new one is nice and tight. so i assumed it was the chain.

i'll try the old chain. the only problem is that i have to take off the timing cover LOL
