Good call Infrasilver, I did a check today and no exhaust gases.
I had a good listen with a screw driver and the only tensioner where I could possibly pick up any noise was the one on R/H side forward (crankcase one with just 1x ring on it).
I decided to whip it out, firstly putting the engine at TDC; this in itself was a bit of a faff as I have recently fitted a underdrive crank pulley so I had to fit the OEM one back in. I didn't bother with locking the cam shaft.
TDC:
Tensioner location:
Tensioner removed:
Also made a quick video to see if anyone can say whether this tension is about correct when the oil has been removed from the tensioner:
Ignore the fact I say No.2 bank as I think this one is the crankcase tensioner.
Demort I seem to have misplaced your phone number. If you could remind me again that would be much appreciated
