    2000 pulling to the left

    Random no starts

    Every once in a while my 2000 v8 ls will not turn over. I'll turn the key and nothing at all. After waiting and turning the key multiple times it will turnover with plenty of battery power. Battery terminals and wires are clean. I'm thinking ignition or starter solenoid? Thank you

    Secondary chain replacement and tensioners

    I have the covers off ready to replace the secondary chains and tensioned. Driver side tensioner failed and it looks like the cam jumped a tooth, the cam flats are not lined up.
