I believe that if you go to the short chain it would be too short... JMO... I was surprised at how much drag there was when using the chain tensioner ... I was putting my engine together a couple of days ago and with just the crank in the engine I couldnt really measure the torque to turn the crank(didnt want to get my inch pound torque wrench out) and I put the cam in and could spin it with my fingers... as soon as I pulled the pin on the chain tensioner it went up to about 8# to turn the crank..... I thought that was ALOT
