upper chain tensioner right bank
#1
![Question](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hopefully someone can answer this. I'm in the process of changing the timing chain tensionors and guide rails. I finished the left side and took out all the slack on both the primary and secondary chains.
On the right bank (passenger side -U.S.) I got the slack off using the tensionor tool. I have the exhaust and vvt sprockets tight, then remove the camshaft locking tool. Then the upper chain goes slack again.
Is this normal? I've tried to redo it a few times now, and always the same problem. Once I remove the locking tool, the cams move slightly and the upper chain goes slack, and only on the right bank.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
