Cam Chain Help!

[chucked]

I got a crf450f cam chain, just as many people on here reccommended for me to do. I was putting the motor together tonight and i noticed that there is some side to side play with the chain on the sprockets. Is this OK or should I go back to stock chain?

Tight the bolt and there should just be mouvement side to side frome the chain not the sproket.

Yes thats what I mean, side to side movement from the chain on the sprocket, the sprocket is tight.

Chain will move because it is wider by 1 link, but doesn't hurt anything!
