1 1/2 turns of loosening and nary a change in sound. And NO hint of "clatter", indicating you did not let it get uncomfortably loose for even a second.
Good info. If nothing else it should let folks know there is some margin in there between too tight and too loose.
Having said that, part of me wants to be on the loose side of tight enough, rather than the tight side of loose enough. lol
Maybe I'm wrong, but it would seem to offer additional chain life.
My instinct is influenced by that same chain saw analogy. I love how my chain saw chains cut and last when I have them on the loose side of tight. No slop and no rattle, but smooooooth.
