I tell you one thing that saved a lot of work and frustration was the secondary chain they have on Ebay that has a master link in it.
Just be sure to turn the keeper the right way.
Lets see,
Rockauto Felpro gaskets, $50
Ebay Secondary chain tensioners, $152
Ebay Secondary chain, $60
Frustration, sore fingers & cussing, priceless
Im thinking of buying one of the OTC injector cleaners from Amazon for $100.
Found it!
Took the cage off of my work light and stuck the bulb way down between the fender and the motor and looked just over the fender as low as I could get my head and you can see the hole. Whew.
Well she fired up. No more rattle.:)
Notice how the secondary cam is out of time too.
I replaced both secondary tensioners and last night I replaced the left chain, and rolled the cam back. Now I have to figure out how to find the dipstick hole.:confused:
Here is where I am at the moment. Installed two new secondary tensioners, and noticed the left chain is stretched, and the cam is out of time.:eek:
Had to buy a chain breaker yesterday, so maybe today I can get the chain out.
This is the old tensioner and how bad it had gotten.

My first post, and where Im at currently in repairs.
The wifes 01 has been missing for some time now and it finally started throwing codes.
Then it really started rattling and shaking at idle.
Good thing I took it off the road.
Here is a video of the rattling.
