All,
Just want to be sure before I button everything back up , If I understand correctly once I have the arrows on the cam sprocket lined up with the top of head it does not matter if they move up when I install the timing chain tensioner , correct ?
let me know .. beautiful day today ..craving for a good case of monkey butt ....
  Thank You
