As long as you are not having PTV contact

Can you try the thin trigger wheel to see if that helps?

 

[massacre]

Crank gear is different between thick and thin trigger wheel

 

[massacre]

Crank gear for thin wheel + thicker wheel = interference with timing cover

I dont have one on hand at the moment, aswell i compared the original crank sprockets with the new ones when installing and they were identical thickness, both being the double sprocket design. the crrank sprockets are the "adjustable design" with the different settings to advance timing and such, both are on 0, also i did not use the spacer as online it said i should use it with the thin trigger wheel.

With the tensioners still installed there is a little slack on the "flat" guide side, this isnt normal is it?

 

[peterwm08]

oops, to clarify the crank sprockets are 2 piece i should have said.

 

[massacre]

A little slack is definitely normal

 

[massacre]

Are you sure you installed the adjustable crank sprockets correctly?

 

[massacre]

which bank are you seeing slack

 

[peterwm08]

if this makes sense theres like a portruding side and a flat/indented side to both sprockets, i installed both with the portruding side facing out, and the more flat side towards the rear

 

[peterwm08]

There was some additional slack on the driver side bank flat side, but after 200 or so degrees of turning most of the slack went to the tensioner side, but there is still a little on the flat side, noticably more than the passenger side bank which is pretty stiff on the flat side

 

[massacre]

Do you have any pics of what you are doing? Or a video of the clank?
it might be nothing or it might be bad

sorry im still trying to figure out this forum, and how to upload correctly, to replicate i may have to put the timing cover back on, clank or snap sound when turning engine over by hand GT3 - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums also i feel as if this link probably most accurately describes what was happening, but on a porsche motor

nvrmnd this is a 2v

 

[peterwm08]

just an iron block

 

[massacre]

The slack i'm seeing there seems like it might be too much. Are these new chains?

 

[peterwm08]

just went to turn it over by hand a bunch more, the slack is only ever on this driver side once every couple rotations

 

[peterwm08]

the chains are reused i figured the tensioners would compensate because when i tried to use the new chains from the kit no amount of prying would let the tensioner slip into place, there just wasnt enough slack
