Small timing chains - normal play?
Hi doing the main timing chain on my VQ35HR (08 zed) and I noticed both small chains have some play in them. Is this normal?
When I rotate everything the slack tightens up and loosens. I am assuming the tensioner are pressure driven and that's the reason why I can compress them?
I took a couple videos.

Like i said I can rotate the cams and slack does tighten up briefly. Just wondering if this is normal for the VQ35HR?
THANKS!

your tensioners will pressurize and stiffen up as a function of oil pressure...

The chains do tighten up as the engine is rotated but I am a little worried about them being so loose even without the oil pressure tightening the tensioner.
