Thank you for pointing out the correct bank for cylinder No. 1. I had just recently done some work on my Chevy pickup 5.7 where cyl #1 is front driver side. Without even thinking to check it out I assumed the same for this engine. I had previously decided to try replacing the hydraulic tensioner on the left head...no change, although the old one was maybe slightly sticky as compared to the new one. It probably makes more sense now to at least pull the right one and check it out, in case it may be seized or otherwise compromised, at least to try before opening it up?
