Is my timing chain out of spec? Video

The crank turns the cam. Spec is 3/8" on the cam/crank side with the crank applying turning force to cam.

Alright got the replacement.
Now how do I get the old one off?
Try to turn bolt and the whole damn thing turns.

Also, I just have to line up the two points first and do the same when putting new one on correct?
 
nvm got it
There is a pin and spring I suppose is to keep it from coming loose.
Got it torqued to 60 ftlbs
Huge difference from the old one. Tho pretty sure I could have gotten away just replacing the chain
 
On Jeeps they are usually sold as a timing set so I think you did good to change it all. In the ones I've seen the sprockets are worn too.
