Either you say F it and remove all of the FEAD stuff and the timing cover and degree the cams(which is a C-bag to do in the car anyways), or you sit in the corner and jerk off. The tensioners play a big part in the amount of chain slack and while you're changing seals, the tensioners bleed down. It's not that hard to jump a tooth. They do make tools to hold the 2V cam gear in place. I've never used one, but the 3V uses one that works awesome.If the motor's running good,why mess with the timing. If you're going to mess with the timing, at least time it correctly.</blockquote>
