Yes, but when he does this won't this also rotate the crankshaft......which will move it from the 0۫۫ t.d.c timing mark on the pulley?


Well, yes, but that's inevitable

hopefully it comes in soon and i can take care of this issue once and for all.


Jack up the passenger side front, stick in 5th and rotate the front passenger wheel/tire clockwise to take up the chain's slack. Then check the tension on the tensioner side of the chain down below the intake cam gear. If it's all loosey goosey the tensioner isn't doing it's job. It could be bad or not engaged properly.

And why is moving the crank an issue when checking tension?

Got the timing Done and everything seems OK. This Is A video of the sound I'm getting now. Sounds like it could be a rocker arm , guide or shim

Watched the latest video. That sound is not the shims.. That is some serious valve train noise or something else. Do you have the time to pull the valve cover off and show us what it looks like underneath?

Yes. Il take off the Vc Tomorrow and take a video or pics.

I don't understand What the issue is, I replaced the tensioner with the correct one. The timing is correct as far as I know.

Question: with the tension installed is there suppose to be any play on the guides, I noticed that the tension side chain guide has side to side play with the tensioner installed and Engaged . Could it be that it broke and is allowing The chain to moved side to side

Can anyone chip in on the side to side movement of the tensioner side chain guide.

When I say Side to side I mean towards the head and the motor mount. Not towards radiator support and firewall

That side to side movement is fine on the rockers. I think the chain is fine, as well.

Do us a favor and push down on all of the rockers above the lash adjusters. Are they rock solid?
