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.
If you're asking about the timing chain, I've seen factory chains that had a lot of slack, perhaps 1/2" in each direction. Most aftermarket chains seem to be much tighter.

how much play should a 4.3 Chevy engine timing chain have?
It will take an experience mechanic approximately 8 hours to replace the timing belt in your 1992 Chevy Corsica. The 1992 Chevy Corsica does not have each timing chain, it has a timing belt.
Not much but there will be a little.
Possible: Timing is off, or carb is out of adjustment. I would have the timing checked. Timing might be off right at the crank and cam. Chain drive. It can slip or just have too much slack, depends on mileage.
That engine doe's not have a timing BELT. It has a timing chain and gears. The chain and gears are about $60.00 the gasket is about $12.00 and the Labor would run about $150.00.
Four cylinder has a chain. Replace it when it breaks or has so much slack in it that it jumps timing. Replace the guides at the same time. They have wear limits.
Hello Sir. Its not possible to adjust since its tension depens on the oil pressure, if there is too much slack in your chain, you change the tensioner. And maybe chain / chain houseing if its damaged. Mechanic Nic E
It is your lucky day. The cost will be $0.00. The 2000 Chevy Malibu has a chain and NOT a belt. No maintenance is required.
