Was there plastic in the oil pan from the guide

Man this is a complicated way to check TDC. What happened to looking at the intake and exhaust lobes for no1 cylinder and if they are sequencing to closed with the dot at zero and the back cam slots lined up your good to go

96 in lbs ? I have 2016 limited lt. check the torque on timing cover and they were about 71 in lbs. iam afraid i will strip them out.

So I’m thinking about marking a tooth and chain link on both phasers and crank sprocket before removing old chain and then count the links and mark the same links on the new chain before installing to make sure it goes on the right way. Do you think that would work? I don’t think it has jumped any teeth on my motor just the orange guide has broken
