even if the dots arnt lined up correctly would that make a diffrence on how loose the chain is?? my factory chain looked loose aswell but not as loose as the ls2 chain i threw on there

I just put my ls2 chain on yesterday and it was loose also, just not quite as bad as the stock one w/ only 25k miles on it.
