If the reading is above 5 degrees you should consider a new chain and tensioner.

My recommendation is not to do this - well not to do this and rely only this method to ascertain if either a chain should be replaced or an offset key should be fitted.
By all means do this quick check - but the so called 2mm lift method is a much more reliable method.
The problem with the 2mm method is that it is complicated. It is particularly complicated if you are doing it for the first time. But like anything it gets easier each time you do it.
