I screwed myself by saying "I really don't want to take off the oil pan." I broke the top off the timing chain guide. Luckily that comes off separately from having to pull the whole timing chain assembly. BUT I then broke the bottom tabs removing it from the other part of the guide. Of course those 2 tabs dropped to the bottom of the pan. SO, do I just do the timing chain now that I have to buy the engine support/lift bar to drop the subframe to get to the pan? Another $400.
I watched some youtube videos on this timing job. Now that I was able to remove the timing chain tensioner I am not sure if that was the correct process to do before installing that cam locking tool and that was the reason for it not lining up. Now I am not convinced the timing was wrong or the chain bad. But I am not confident.
