My third chain tensioner has just went out so I replaced that. At the same time I thought that since this was the third time doing this the jack shaft chain may have stretched. So I replaced it also without locking down the cams. I did mark everything to make sure I put it together the same way I took it apart. I did get it started but ran like crap. Turned it off to check everything now it won't start. Here is my question if I remove only the main jack shaft bolt to replace the chain can the driver side cam rotate on its own?
