Yes I did but still cost 150 for replacement to damaged for a free repair, lol

 

What one goes to what side, no info in package, thx

 

I am going to take cams right off, or should I not. Lol

 

The one with the DIMPLE goes on the Driver's Side.


EDIT:
You can see the little dimple at the bottom of the Bank2 Tensioner Arm in this exploded view of s_vares Final Repair Guide:

@Darren123 You do not need to remove cams. If you get a helper - put a socket on the Phaser Bolt and you can move the (passenger) "R" phaser forward (clockwise) enough to place the two colored links straddling the "R".


You will NOT have piston contact moving it only that far. HELL that is where it is SUPPOSED TO BE, and right now the cam is simply retarded a few degrees. The VCT system can retard the cams 30º. You are going toward the advance direction - and only to where the phaser is supposed to be -per chain link marks.

 

Ok so what about drivers side as I'm passed the marks, thx

 

Same thing for the drivers ("L") phaser. If you are concerned about loosening the phaser bolt by going counter clockwise that one link needed, just use vice grips on the cam. It'll go. Just need a helper to do that while you line up the chain.


EDIT: Again - all you are doing is moving the Phaser to the position where it SHOULD be on the chain anyway. If THAT caused piston contact - hell we're all in serious trouble.

 

Yeah, F150Torqued is absolutely correct. During removal, the cams rotate that much after you take tension of the chains. You are just putting them back where they should be anyway. No need to remove cams or followers unless you are replacing them.

 

Ok thx to all that's helping me out, I will try to find someone to help me. I just moved here.

 

If you are alone and end up pulling the cams you might as well clean the lifters/replace sticky ones. Insures no loud tick afterwards to drive you bonkers since it didn't get regular oil changes they/some may be galled inside. Inspection of all these moving parts is a smart move, keeping track of the spot they come out of is also smart as they are working together in that spot. Especially your roller rockers. If it has a damaged roller you probably have a damaged cam lobe also.
