timing off/ actuator "pop"
so for while ive been having this weird valve train noise and bad idle(bogging and stalling). every once in a while i would get the p0011 code.
i took of my valve cover today to check out if my timing was off and found out a few things. first thing was when i was turning my motor over i would hear a "pop." i had my friend turn over the motor while i tried to see what was going on. the exhaust actuator would like pop forward.
heres a video to explain better what was happening.
i also noticed that my timing was a little off... keep an eye on the cam gear bolt
intake
exhaust
currently dont have any CELs. so im gonna start with replacing my tensioner and chain and see what that does... I am also wondering if i should replace my exhaust VVT actuator since it is making that popping noise. any suggestions on how to go about retiming/fixing this issue is appreciated. thanks!
