Ok ever since i replaced my cams I have had problems with the tct. Well I got tired if repacing them and just learned to deal with the noise. well yester day I noticed I had a oil leak in the front of the engine. traced it down to coming from behind the idler pulley. removed pulley to find the chain had rubbed through the chain case. and the driver side chain guide had broken. That would explain why the damn tensioner wasn't able to hold tension on the chain. well I guess I will be fixing that this week.

 

Hmmmmm.......this is very interesting....considering I just replaced my TCT 2 wks ago and now im still getting a ticking sound, although not the same sound. I thought I just needed a valve adjustment. However I just did an oil change today and I didnt notice any leaks.

Which one is the idler pulley? Anyone have a pic?
