Just to let anyone know ahead of time if you need to replace balance shaft chain tensioner while engine is in vehicle you need to drop front axle down, it will only drop so far before cv axles rest on lower control arms. You will need to lift motor up a couple inches, my upper intake is off so clearance might or might not be issue with it in still? Then you can have enough room to slide upper pan back and access the two bolts for balance shaft tensioner and the bolt heads are 8 point so a regular 6 point socket wont work!
This method is not recomended but does work for those who might want to try. Note!! Try at your own risk.
