I did a search, but didn't find anything and I just have a few quick questions.1. My new chain is slightly loose on the guide side. Is this normal?2. My timing cahin kit came with more seals then I know what to do with. I have the crank seal and the two timing chain cover seals. Those I know, but then i have a seal that looks like the timing chain cover seal but slightly smaller. I also have a =n o-ring. The o-ring I am thinking goes to the oil pickup, but I am not sure. The other seal I have no idea about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

the o-ring goes between the front cover and block. the crank seal goes where the crank pokes through the front cover and the other o ring looking thing that should have a metal backing also goes between the front cover and block.

it'll tighten up when you start it up. just be sure to pull the pin on the tensioner to ensure there will be tension on the chain.

But what are the extra two for? I have five total in my kit.I can take pictures of all of them if need be, but I really need to get the car back together and I am kind of afraid to go on with these two extra seals.
