Could it just be the timing belt tensioner?

No, definitely not a tensioner. I had gone through every pulley system in the VX on my own and replaced/adjusted them or the bearings. She is resting quietly in my garage at home and probably will be for a while. I started major remodeling in my house so my money and time/efforts is already tied up with other tasks.

Hey! That's my thread....but my problem was not solved by the tensioner. I hope it is for Gary. The problem with mine was a pin had sheared that held the cam in reference to the valves. ( I hope I described that right) basically, when this pin sheared, it actually allowed one cam to spin, which put it out of sync with everything else. I cannot use my phone to find the post, but it is documented in another thread I started. Shouldn't be hard to find on a computer. Anyway, it was a real pain to diagnose because when trying to set timing, all marks were aligned like they should have been, but no one was thinking about a cam being in the wrong position (due to the cam spin)
It sounded awful when it went. A person would have to take the valve covers off, and check the internal timing marks on the cam to see if everything is in position properly. Hope this makes sense. It took something like 3 months to figure everything out, so that thread describing all of this is rather lengthy. I will look tomorrow for it on computer, or if someone else has nothing better to do maybe they will look thru my profile and find it. Hope this helps.
Good luck with it. If I can help, you know I will!
