okay! so as promised, here are a few pics of the process and problem with the secondary tensioner, i do apologize im a little late posting, with the gf being pregnant and the hormones and all the fun stuff i had to reframe from the computer and focus more on her to keep the peace lol.. anyways, heres a quick recap, so first of all, clearly the car was running like a bag of dump, i went to a local mechanic and had my car scoped, it read missfire thru every clyinder except 3 on bank 2.. he gave me 3 weeks and the car was going to be effed if i didnt service it, so i brought it straight home and into my garage it went, im not a noob so i decided to tackle this job myself, first i disconnected my battery so computer would reset, then i started tearing down bank 2, starting with removing coils, then valve cover... i had noticed that my secondary chain had been a little loose on the bottom and started feeling around and i felt the bottom of the secondary tensioner was really wobbly, and missing the top portion of the tensioner as shown in pics, and missing bottom portion as well as cracked along the whole back side, i then looked at the inside of my valve cover which should have been one of first steps and noticed wear from the secondary chain... also, from the slack, my exhaust cam had retard a tooth, as seen in the pictures also, the cam flats were not parallel while my motor was at TDC... so i used a paint marker, made some markings where everythign was sitting,removed my exhaust cam, R&R secondary tensioner, placed my exhaust cam one tooth advanced using my markings as a reference point, cam flats lined up, droped a hint of lucas on each cam bearing, and put it all back together making sure everything was clean and nothing left behind, hooked up the battery, and fired her up and walla! beautiful difference.. anyways the pics should help put sence to my story! hope this helps
