Hi Is there someway to physically check a timing chain for wear.
Yes, at least on the diesels. You line up the marks on
the cam gear and the nearby tower, and read degrees of
stretch off the timing scale. 'Too much' is bad. 'Too
much' varies model to model.

i am replacing it with a new one,yet it looks and feels taut with no play in
the roller area. maybe it was replaced not too long ago.
We used to check motorcycle drive chains for wear by laying them stretched
out
Mal,
You've got an Adenauer that you're doing this on? WOW!

If you know the exact pitch (original length of a link) of the chain,
you could place the old chain under tension and measure 100 links and
compare the distance to 100 x pitch.
