Yes I did remove both the tensioners at the back, clutch, end of the engine.
"Also, in your original post you did not mention removal of the IMS tensioner, on the bank 1-3 tensioner. Did you remove the IMS tensioner? It dounes like you didn’t. This tensioner forces the IMS assembly toward bank 1-3.
It sounds like you have multiple issues with the procedure. Not to bust your ***** about it, as making a mistake is bad enough punishment. Its important that others see what you did wrong, so they learn from your mistakes. Just because a procedure has been inked into a book, doesn’t mean that it’s the most risk- free, comprehensive way of doing the job.Both tensioners , 1-3 and the crank to the IMS sprocket, at the back of the engine."
I have determined that the 1-3 chain, guides, cams, and vario timing guides are in good shape. Since I made the set screw
mistake; is it still possible to use your Faultless tool and install your double row IMS bearing and kit?
