If you're lucky and have the early style with no retaining bracket they will slide out without removing the recover cover. If you're getting cam timing faults codes and not came solenoid errors it's more likely a timing chain issue so it would pay to remove the rocker box either way to verify cam timing.

Hope its not a chain, heard gotta drop engine to do, might be time to get another bank loan and put Atomic Short engine in.

I had similar codes come up and one of the sensors has split, knocked it back together and problem fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprokets in that position match balancer alignment though. I had billet chain , pump gears, replaced 8 years ago so its possible that mechanic measured time from another angle. Another crack it tomoz probably got another rotation left to spanner around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
