don't stress; you'll get it sorted. what year is your car? i'll assume it's an early one.

first, there are actually three tensioners. there's one on each head and one on the block. find the third one and remove it.

it sounds like your IMS is just caught on the block a bit. try tapping the flange gently with a plastic hammer & see if it pops into place.

the tensioners ARE different. look at the top of each one. each has a hole in the center. one has no rings around the hole, another has one ring around the hole, and the last has two rings around the hole.

no rings: bank 4-6
one ring: engine block
two rings: bank 1-3

get back to us w/ the year & we'll go from there on engine timing.
