92 ka24de Camshaft Timing

[sean.arnold9012]

Hey guys
sorry if this is a repost but I wasn't seeing anything similar.

I took my valve cover off on my ka24de after zeroing it out.
the timing on the passenger cam is a little off.
is there a way to correct the timing on just that cam without having to redo the entire top timing chain from scratch.

Can I loosen the tensioner, lift the chain, and just rotate that one cam, or is that unadvisable.

Any info that help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

even if you remove the tensioner you will not be able to spin the cam.. you will need to loosen the gear, remove it, spin the cam where you need it, re-position the cam gear and bolt it back on.

I was just hoping....
