After turning the dampener with a socket I can move my dampener 10 degerees in the opposite direction before the rotor moves again. Is this too much play in a timing chain?


Yes & alot of that is likely in the lower dist shaft tang clearance in the top of the intergear slot. Twist (rotate) the rotor/shaft lightly back & forth to see how much play you have there just dont twist hard enough to get into the springs which'll skew your reading. Might need to peen the end of the dist shaft (carefully) and or add one of the 1/2" ID collars that are available (McMasters/Carr). Yes whichever place the slop is originating from (& likely both) it needs to be reduced as 10 deg is way too much (ideally want zero or 1 max)
