[QUOTE="texas_snake, post: 16708979, member: 11539"] I am glad I don't need to take off the valve covers fully. I did the passenger side a few years back and it sucked. I know driver is worse. I know I need to be very careful not to let the chain tension slip a tooth when swapping the tensioner if I don't have a cam holding tool in place. Not sure if there is a clock position for the crank to minimize the chance of that or valve contact under worst case if it were to slip. I am ordering the ARP crank bolt based on feedback. And I will replace any of the gaskets seals as needed (I already have the timing cover gaskets). On the tensioners, I will need to see what is in there. My car was built 04/2003. I know I am starting to get some rattle when it sits for a bit. If I give it a WOT dry turn for a bit to pressurize the oil and then start it, no rattle. [/QUOTE]
