I'm putting on a new timing chain but it seems like the chain is running close to the block. Is it suppose to have a spacer??
I used the thrust plate that came with it, which doesn't seem any bigger than the stock one.

Ford racing # M6268A302

I torqued the cam shaft bolt to 34lbs trq Is there a clearance for the chain-block? Maybe I was just rushing but I want to be sure.
