Hi JFP,

Thanks for posting that pic. Yes, the tensioner on both sides are missing that means. In the weekend I will check around more.

For my electric conversion project I have to remove the engine so I am not taking any detours. I just want to take one step at a time on the engine. At this time I want to see what the bearing looks like and go from there. Once I remove the IMSB flange I will know better. This Cam cover thing is what I just observed as things are more clearer now that all the parts in the rear are off and I am getting more familiar with the parts...

I have also put in a call to the technician at the dealership who worked on the car. Let's see if he calls back tomorrow and I can ask him what he found when he removed the Cams...
