engine sounds smoother after the timing chain can anyone explain why ,, is it because the stock timing chain was very loose? also the timing is installed at zero not advance not retard
also does that mean that my car won`t run better than before installing the cloyes t-chain

The new timing chain, being tighter ... will more accurately keep the cam and crank in sync. There for the valve events will be in sync w/ your crank motion, making everything run smoother. But ... the new timing chain installed on 0 degrees of advance, is the same as the stock timing chain. Because the stock chain is installed w/ 0 degrees of advance, just that the stock chain doesn't have any marks on it. Slake in the timing chain can be a problem, sounds like that was why your engine wasn't running as smooth. Glad you fixed the problem!
