Did my timing chain really jump??
#16
Worked with a guy for about 10 years that had a lot of experience that he didn't really need. He was so hyper about his work that he was always tearing things apart that he had just put together. He ran his own car in when he was a little slow and yanked the heads and had the mechanics grind the valves because of losing 1 cyl. pretty much. Figured it had to be burned valves. The mechanics ground 'em but told him there was nothing wrong. When back together and it ran exactly the same, he discovered it had NO LOBE on one cam position. Typical Chebby!
Another time he yanked the pan to replace the rod bearings because he had a knock for about 3 seconds at start. When the bearings LOOKED (and mic'd standard) new at 175 K mi. he put new ones in anyway and it was the same when he was done. Come to find out it was a lifter clattering til it got oil. As stated, he was plenty experienced! SLOW DOWN boys, your goin' too fast!
It's been online, since last Friday. I've been meaning to update that thread.

I'm using an old version of Live Link (4.0.30), works fine for my older truck, but I do see that you can log duty cycle for each bank individually, then compare?

Very true- unless he bought 1 of the only 3 that they built that did it!

Thanks man! Yes, -I'm proud of me as well.
Think I'll have a party and invite a bunch of babes ehh
Uhh, know any ?

I'm not as familiar w/3 valves, but I believe they have a chain tensioner of some kind per side; other than the guides, a full blown tensioner. Even if that snapped and you lost your guides, I doubt it would jump. If it did, consider yourself lucky to have all your valves on that side. IF it jumped once, it will again, then you wouldn't be so lucky, - not twice. The chains should outlast the engine.

Thanks for the pinouts! I have continuity across all sensor connections to the pcm plugs. Im pretty sure i have a tensioner issue that may have caused a chain to slip. I will find out soon though. Thanks again.
I did just realize this post made it seem like i was fixing to tear into things. I meant "soon enough", in other words afteri have tried everything else.

Yea, I gave up trying to convince him. Not sure why he's here (?), since he's not listening to anyone. Don't waste your good advise and time on this one.

Im Just researching ahead to try make the best of my time. I appreciate what help has been given so far, and the notions that it is not timing related. I did not ignore those commemts btw if i implied that. Im trying every possibility before i consider actually getting into the thick s**t. Im still learning alot about these engines, so bare with me guys.
