Howdy - me again...

I did lifter/rocker job on Bank 2 - wasn't easy but got 'er done. Still had tick, came bank to do Bank 1... Job went smooth until time came to put the phasers back on to the cams.
I fought with the phasers for an hour and almost had them both on but not flush, I went to slightly back one of them out to try to get more leverage - the entire thing rotated. Both phasers were pushed out, the plastic wedge tool between the phasers tensioning them together popped out, at least one of the cams rotated back, and the CHAIN on the phasers moved clockwise! Oh - and the plastic J-shaped chain tensioner tool seems to have gotten scrapped and a piece (or shavings) of plastic have fallen in

Bank 1 - current state


Bank 2 - Shows we are either; no longer at TDC or seeing as the paint marks are seemingly still were they should be maybe I disassembled Bank 1 without being at proper TDC?


J-Shaped chain tensioner tool


I looked down in the valley with a borescope and did not immediately see anything, I will look more once the phasers are back on and I have more room to get in there.....

I have no idea how to troubleshoot or what my next move is.. I see this thread: https://www.chryslerminivan.net/thre...hasers.176147/
- notably the post by @dandaman - should I try this?

What I don't understand though. Referencing Bank 1 picture - the two yellow marks are where the phaser connects with the chain the top top part. 12 links between them. As you can see, both marks are still fully accessible and so Id believe I can easily set the phasers to where they should be on the chain. As far matching the cams with the phasers and chain - I have paint marks as well but there are notches where the phasers meet the cams, does this not mean it can ONLY go in one way and thus I'd still be in time?

 

Wish I could help you but then I’m kind of glad I can’t, the only overhead cam engine I have ever worked on is a 1965 Jeep Tornado six.

someone will come along and give you some advice.
good luck with your project
