Timing chain question

[IDriveFords]

I recently finished my build and am getting ready to put the motor in the car but I have one small issue. The timing chain has a slight sag to it where it sits between the cam gears. I've turned the crank time and time again and it always seems to line up properly (the 2 different colored links line up on the cam gears). My question is should the chain hang a little between the cam gears or should it be taught? I just got done spending my childrens inheritance putting this car together and the last thing I wanna do is turn the key and hear pistons smack the valves. I can take pictures later tonight when I get home to give a better idea of whats going on. Thanks-Rob-
