[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 399111, member: 436"] Well, if you did not need to adjust any valves so you probably did not change the valve timing. You did check the valves with the cam chain under tension, right? Since you did replace the timing chain tensioner, maybe you did not put something together correctly there and have some friction on the cam chain. Did you put the rear chain damper and dowel in correctly? If you do have to pull the valve cover back off, I can say from experience that it is much easier the second time. [/QUOTE]
