noslo6,
Moving the crank closer to the cam DOES change the cam/crank timing relationship. Slack on the coast side of the chain is NOT the issue. If you used the same chain and sprocket set before and after a line bore The crank will need a degree or two of additional rotation before it takes up the extra distance and adds the slack to the coast side of the chain..............think about it!!!
That is why we degree cams, to measure and compensate for small changes like this.
