I saw the write up on the removal of the chain guides to solve this issue i was just curious if any one has ran into timing issues after doing this. Im not talking about timing at the dist but but the pressure being relieved from the chain the actual timing of the cams being screwed up. Lol I havent done anything yet but I plan to tomorow. Just curious. Thanks for any help.

welll just in case any one searches this later in time there were no issues with timing after these were taken out and went very smoothly

just to make sure you didnt remove the tensioner right? this is only for the guides.... from your wording it sounded like you may have removed the tensioner.
