How much Slack in timing belt on a Chevy 350?
The 350 Chevy does not have a belt, it has a chain. Slack in the chain is normal as long as it is not excessive. A better determining factor on when to replace the chain, is the condition of the gears and if the chain is noisy.

How do you adjust cam chain on Yamaha yfm225?
You don't. The YFM225 uses an automatic chain tensioner that helps to take up the slack on the cam chain. If you are getting chain slap, then either the chain is stretched or the tensioner is not functioning correctly. In both cases, the parts should be replaced. You cannot repair a non-functioning auto tensioner, nor can you remove links from a stretched cam chain.

Toyota pickup 1988 antifreeze in oil?
When was the last time the timing chain was replaced? I bought a 1991 Toyota pickup that had 190,000 miles and the original timing chain. Due to the high miles, the chain had stretched which caused a lot of slack in it. This slack allowed the chain to rub the timing chain cover causing a hairline hole/crack in it. Antifreeze leaked thru the crack and filled up the oil pan. Good luck... This is a typical sign that you may have blown a head gasket(s).
