Foreman Rubicon 500 oil pump chain slack

How much slack should there be on the Rubicon's oil pump chain? Also, should the sprocket on the end of the oil pump move around a bit?

Thanks.

Yes, I have seen them crazy loose, even the new chains when installed. I have also seen the oil pump chain drive chain gear oval out the notch that slips over the flat on the pump shaft.
