Also in regards to dropping the pan, my guides and tensioner a were all intact.... nothing in the pan
Considering the history of Dorman phaser's that is documented in this forum, I'm surprised Dorman continues to make them. It seems that everyone who uses them here ends up with an issue soon after.
