Small request. In the video you tighten the sprocket bolts 15+90, assemble some other stuff and then do the Vanos tensioner bolt (and properly say the sprocket bolts should be loose while doing that) and then properly tighten the sprocket bolts. If you edit the video to just show you hand tightening the sprocket bolts before the vanos tensioner you should be good to go. It’ll keep people from stretching their sprocket bolts out. Good video btw. This saved me a ton of time and was way easier to follow than written docs.

Pretty good instructional. Thanks for taking the time to show each step. I recommend investing in a tripod and/or even a GoPro (as you can attach it almost anywhere) so that the shot is perfect each time/each step (and then you don't need to say you need to use two hands, etc. lol). Also have two different perspectives when working on a car makes the viewing pleasure that much more enjoyable. Time lapse would be a benefit here too especially if you are doing something as repetitive as removing 13 valve cover bolts... This video is super long at 2+ hours. To knock it down under an hour and keep what you are saying specific to the timing chain replacement (or such topic) steps up your content. If I was in the midst of replacing my timing chain and needed to reference a specific part I would be hard pressed to find what I am looking for -- this is where adding chapters is helpful too.

I would have just bought the top guide . The bottom guides are white . They aren't originals . They were already changed . The parts he got have to meet or exceed OEM specs. .IF I was ANAL about all this .I would have made sure I bought a OEM chain tensioner . Good job though !

The chain that I removed was a cheap Chinese brand. I replaced it with a good chain kit from Detroit Tuned. I didn’t trust any of the parts from the last kit.
