Sorry, I forgot to mention that I did renew all sprockets, tensioners,  
bolts, etc. when I renewed the timing chain.
 
Incidentally, I have never heard a timing chain get as loud as mine did in  
a very short period of time. Not even have I heard them that loud on  
Stags....
 
I've not heard of this being a common problem on TR's, but while you're in  
there anyway, best to renew the lot.

I've  heard chains and gears wear together.   With an inch of slack,  I'd
make sure the gear teeth have enough depth left to do their job.   The gears
on my tr2 were shallow and quite sharp. I bit the bullet and  replaced the
set.
