Need some opinions now. So what I’ve done to correct the timing without taking the cam caps off was the following:
1. Remove tensioner
2. Make some slack on exhaust side and move the chain along one tooth for both cam shafts (this is what was needed)
3. Take up slack on exhaust side of cam chain
4. Install cam chain tensioner and turn crank shaft
5. Check tensioner is at same notch as before - being at the same notch indicates I take side of cam chain is tensioned to the same degree as before therefore there is no slack remaining on exhaust side.
I know that I should’ve remove the cam shaft caps and reset timing that way but I was hoping for a faster work around.
Is it possible that there’s still slack on the exhaust side of the cam chain? Is what I’ve done supremely dodgy? It’d be good to hear some thoughts.
