finally had spare time today and replaced the timing chain tensioner.
started off taking the battery out before doing any work.
unplug all coilpacks, wires and timing belt cover. I made sure where the coilpack and plugs where.
then removed all 9 (10m) bolts on rocker cover.
once that's done should be able to remove the rocker cover and should look like this
remove the black plastic covers
underneath the rocker cover my was full of oil
gave it a clean and is alot better now
removed Cam Sensor, can't remember i think they where still 10m bolts.
Used 19m 12 point socket on crank to positon timing marks
Mark the timing chain. Clean the cam chain of oil where the timing marks are.
Count out 16 rollers between the timing marks. Recount 16 rollers. Use liquid paper and mark the cams and chain at both the intake and exhaust side.
Using your T-30 socket, remove bearing caps 3 and 5 on intake side and then remove all remaining caps and bolts showed in red.
Now you are able to take the cams and while doing that take out the tensioner, take your time.
once remove will look like this
also the red area make sure that's all clean ready for half moon and tensioner and apply sealant on half moon and tensioner.
Here's new part already with tensioner tool installed.
now installed with cam all bolts in, didn't take pic while bolting the cam. Make sure you apply sealant where the red arrows are.
double check the timing are correct and count 16 on the rollers, i had to do this a few times.
once your happy with that, clean the surface for rocker cover gasket and then install rocker cover, bolt up bolts and install coilpacks, cam sensor etc...
I did change my oil aswel and oil filter, i would advise to do this.
BEFORE STARTING YOUR ENGINE PLEASE LEAVE 30MINS AFTER INSTALLING CAMS.
I did also have another
problem with the car running rich and not boosting correctly so check all hose's and made sure all bolted up.
started engine all working fine now, no ticking noise once warmed up, at last.
if you do copy what I've done i do not hold responsible for any problems.
But the downside is the car is still running rich and not boosting correctly.
I think i might have to put the old map sensor on to see if that's the
problem.
