Thanks! My plan is to remove the tensioner again and re-seat the exhaust cam timing sprocket then re-attempt the procedure on bank 2. I hadn't even thought of valve train damage. That would be no bueno.

I'm replacing the chain guides on my variocam actuators and I'm afraid I may have created a bigger problem. I had already removed the tensioner on bank 2 before re-timing bank 1 to test it. I was going to replace it before doing the timing procedure on bank 1, but had a difficult time getting it back in, so I decided to proceed since it theoretically doesn't affect the timing of bank 1. Now I finally got the bank 2 tensioner in and am timing bank 2, but during the procedure the chain pulled the slotted gear off the end of the bank 2 exhaust cam. When I put the crank in cyl4 TDC everything looked properly timed so I thought I was in the clear, but now that the gear got pulled off the cam I'm not so sure. So now I'm wondering: 1) How likely is it that I bunched the chain? 2) If I did bunch the chain (or skipped a link) do I need to split the case or should I be able to fix this by simply rotating the crank and fenagling the chain on the bank 2 slotted gear?
